Yes!! The Big Bang Gang is Back
I’m so excited cause Big Bang Theory will be back on Monday, September 22, 2008. Finally a sitcom I can watch and talk about instead of all these other shows I’ve been reviewing, cause, well, I have to talk about something, right?
Not only is Big Bang Theory back starting at 8:00 pm ET, but CBS is also following with the season premieres of How I Met Your Mother, Two and Half Men and the series premiere of Worst Week. I know where I’ll be Monday night.
This is actually a big week for the sitcom, as Wednesday night, September 24, marks the season premiere (also on CBS) of The New Adventures of Old Christine at 8:00 pm ET, and the series premiere of Gary Unmarried at 8:30 pm ET. They are joined on Wednesday nights by the already started Til Death at 9:00 pm and Do Not Disturb at 9:30 pm on FOX.
Then on Thursday, September 25, we have the season premiere of My Name is Earl on NBC at 8:00 pm ET, followed by another new episode of Earl at 8:30 pm ET, and then the hour-long season premiere of The Office at 9:00 pm ET.
I know people keep saying the sitcom is dead, and maybe that’s true of the good old fashioned family sitting in the living room with their TV dinners watching together kinda sitcom, but perhaps there’s a new form of situation comedy for now.
Another new show that’s premiering this week, which is not a sitcom, but I wanted to mention anyway, is The Mentalist, which airs on Tuesday, September 23 at 9:00 pm ET on CBS. Apparently, its the story of a former fake psychic who uses his heightened observation abilities to assist the police in solving crimes. Can you say Psych, anyone?

I’m so happy that all these shows are finally starting again! I was going through definite dry spells.
The commercials are going to be good, too! Weird, huh?
During the premiere of The Office on Thursday, the winner for the Tide To Go contest will be aired! That’s the ad with the talking stain that aired during the Super Bowl. HILARIOUS! I work for Tide and we had a contest earlier in the year encouraging people to submit their own videos of the talking stain. The finalists are all over at http://www.tidetogo.com/ads if you wanted to have a looksy. The winner will be seen next Thursday…can’t wait!
Feel free to share with me who you think is going to win! I’d be interested to hear your opinion! Also, if you have any questions, I welcome those, too!
Thanks!

I’m excited about the shows coming back too Mandy…well not so much the sitcoms as the reality stuff. I still think this blog should be changed to “Watching Reality”.
Thanks for the tide info. Didn’t know there was a contest…I’ll check it out.
