This is the fifth in an ongoing seriers of entries where I look at the upcoming TV season. Why? Cause I am a TV junkie. It has been 6 hours since my last hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thursday night is when two new British inspired series hit the airwaves. And an old one comes back. And yet again, we see thast programmers have acces to far better drugs than you or I.<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/span>
\n8:00 pm
\nSmallville<\/span> – CW
\nSupes is back for his eighth season of angst, guest stars from the DC universe and hair gel. Gone is Lex and Lana is only back for a few episodes. In their place Doomsday and a yet to be named female villain. What is the fate of this show? Well it’s on the CW so it doesn’t have to meet the ratings standards of the other four. It will last the season, but I think this one is on its last legs.<\/p>\n

9:00 pm
\nSupernatural<\/span> – CW
\nThe bros are back for season 4. You know Dean ain’t going to spend it on meat hooks so look for Sammy to get him out if hell posthaste at the premiere, leading to another season of BroYay moments. And unless one of these boys wants out, there should be a season 5.<\/p>\n

Kitchen Nightmares<\/span> – FOX
\nThis is the old returning British show. It should be classified as reality\/horror given what Ramsay finds in the walk in fridges of the restaurants. If the Brothers Winchester bore you, counting the number of times that Ramsay has to be beeped might be more your speed.<\/p>\n

10:00 pm
\nLife on Mars<\/span> vs Eleventh Hour<\/span>
\nTwo new series based on British Shows. Two genre shows. Up against each other. Do the programmers think this is Mortal Kombat<\/span>?<\/p>\n

Life on Mars<\/span> – ABC
\nSam Tyler is in a car accident and wakes up in 1972. Yup 72, not 73. That’s how we will tell the difference between the US and UK versions. The year it takes place. Well that and whether or not Gene Hunt is rocking the perm or not. Will this last? Hard to tell. It is up against ER and another genre show. I’m giving this a 50\/50 chance.<\/p>\n

Eleventh Hour<\/span> – CBS
\nThe British version saw Patrick Stewart as a government science expert who investgates things like cloning, UFOs and why According to Jim<\/span> is still on the air. Kind of like X-Files<\/span> and ReGenesis<\/span>. The US version does not have Patrick, so again I’m giving this a 50\/50 chance.<\/p>\n
