heist nbcMost of the new television shows this week premiere on Wednesday. FOX is launching a new reality challenge where people are locked in a bunker and have to decide which one of them is worthy of a cash prize. ABC launches a forensics drama with a unique storytelling schtick, and NBC's much-hyped Heist finally hits the air. Probably most exciting, though, is season ten of South Park, where Trey Parker and Matt Stone will hopefully dream up new and hilarious ways of pissing off Tom Cruise.

  • The Surreal Life, Sundays @ 9 pm on VH1 (premieres March 19)
    • Season six stars Sherman Hemsley (The Jeffersons), Steve Harwell (Smashmouth), C.C. DeVille (Poison), Tawny Kitaen, Alexis Arquette (David's cross-dressing brother), Andrea Lowell (Playboy), Florence Henderson (The Brady Bunch), and a mystery "celeb".
    • When The O.C. and Desperate Housewives collide. This docu-drama follows the lives of five real Orange County families that live in an exclusive, gated community.
  • Unan1mous, Wednesdays @ 9:30 on FOX (premieres March 22)
    • Nine strangers are locked in a bunker until they come to an unamimous decision about which one of them deserves $1.5 million. The longer it takes to decide, the less money there is for a prize.
  • The Evidence, Wednesdays @ 10 pm on ABC (premieres March 22)
    • Another CSI-type drama, but with different storytelling. Each episode begins with a videotape of pieces of evidence, and then the episode flashes back to the crime where you learn why the evidence is important.
  • Heist, Wednesdays @ 10 pm on NBC (premieres March 22)
    • A dramatic comedy about a group of thieves who plan and then try to execute a heist.
  • South Park, Wednesdays @ 10 pm on Comedy Central (10th season premieres March 22)
    • It's season ten already? God, I'm getting old.

They need to cancel "The Surreal Life." It's not surreal anymore when you're seeing more than 5 years worth of it. It then becomes too surreal!
