Belated 2009 New TV Shows/Seasons Thread
I usually start an annual thread to capture reality show premieres and other cable shows that people might miss because they aren't looking for them or aren't well publicized, but I didn't do it this year. Still, I'm sure there are a few shows coming on over the next several months that people might want to talk about or get the word out about.
Deadliest Catch is already about 4-5 weeks in, and as good as ever. Ice Road Truckers premieres at 9pm this Sunday on History Channel. At 10pm is the premiere of what I hope will be a cool new show called Expedition Africa, a Mark Burnett production that follows 4 people who try to trace Stanley's route to find Dr. Livingstone. So You Think You Can Dance starts this Thursday. Another show I've really grown to enjoy is Escaped, which is on Investigataion Discovery at 10pm on Mondays. It chronicles the stories of people who find themselves in a life-or-death situation, with first-person interviews, narrative of their story, and re-enactments of what occurred. Anything from accidents, to attempted rapes/murders, to survival situations. This past Monday was an amazing story of a woman who survived 41 days at sea after the boat she and her fiance were sailing in the Pacific Ocean got hit by Hurricane Raymond in 1983, and she was able to sail it to Hawaii. Awesome stuff. Top Chef Masters starts June 10th. It's going to be similar to a top chef competition, except it will be the big name people as contestants. Should be interesting. Anyone have other upcoming shows to list?

One other one I forgot:
I know Season 5 just ended, but the 6th season of Hell's Kitchen starts July 21st. Big Brother apparently is starting up in July, but no date has been announced. I can never watch that show, the time commitment is just too much and I end up missing things and lose interest. And that's assuming the show/cast is worth watching to begin with.

It was mentioned in another thread already but Primeval started the new season on BBC America this past Saturday so folks interested are only one episode behind & I think they often run those an hour prior as well as a couple of times during the week so you should be able to meet the new team members & get caught up no problem.

Saving Grace returns to TNT June 16th. Several other TNT shows start up again or premiere in June. Not sure on dates though.
Nurse Jackie(premiere) and Weeds(returning) both are on Showtime on June 8th. |

A quick update on some new shows/seasons starting up:
Hell's Kitchen Season 6 - July 21st (apparently they are putting a big marketing emphasis on the fact that one of the chefs challenges Ramsay at some point. Color me skeptical). The Colony - July 21st (I'm going to give it a shot - looks like Survivor-meets-armageddon, where 10 people with specific skills are asked to recreate society as if most of the rest of the world was destroyed) Top Chef Season 6 - Las Vegas - August 26th

Mad Men is fantastic. I love the writing.
The Cleaner is pretty good too. A friend of a friend is part of the show's production team, which is how I got turned onto the show in the first place. Might be worth checking out. Benjamin Bratt is quite good in it, and it has Grace Park too (hubba hubba).
