This is the sixth in an ongoing seriers of entries where I look at the upcoming TV season. Why? Cause I am a TV junkie. I got the shakes!<\/span><\/p>\n

Stereotypes would have you believe that Friday and Saturday is when we geeks stay home and hang out in our parents’ basement. So you would think TV would schedule hours and hours of entertainment for us.<\/p>\n

But what we have is a wasteland. Maybe the programmers know something we don’t?<\/p>\n

Friday<\/span>
\n8:00 pm
\nCrusoe<\/span> – NBC
\nThis is an adaptation of the classic novel. Part of the show will be told as flasbacks, where you will get to see Sean Bean and Sam Neil. But Friday nights are a dead zone for TV. Given the amount of money NBC is spending on this show, I think we will get the 13 episodes ordered, but unless this takes off, no more.<\/p>\n

9:00 pm
\nAmerica’s Next Top Model<\/span> – CW
\nRepeat of Wednesday’s episode in case you missed it.<\/p>\n

10:00 pm
\nNumbers<\/span> – CBS
\nNot a genre show per say, but Charlie, Amita and Larry are like the rest of us. Watch this show for them and the math, not the ridiculous story telling and the overacting of Rob Morrow and the other FBI agents. Interestingly enough, CBS and Texas Instruments run an education program based on the math in each show.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/span>
\n9:00 pm
\nKnight Rider<\/span> – NBC
\nA repeat in case you were watching Pushing Daisies<\/span> on Wednesday. Until NBC cancels it and then it will be a Law and Order<\/span> rerun. And if that rerun features Lenny Brisco, I think it will be a good thing.<\/p>\n
