TV Squad: The Week Ahead

by Bob Sassone, posted Aug 25th 2008 8:23AM
Jerry Lewis TelethonOur Monday morning roundup of a half dozen things TV Squad readers - and TV fans in general - will be talking about this week.


1. Democratic National Convention. Some viewers will be saying "hey, I'm interested in what Obama and Biden have to say," while others are saying "hey, this is interrupting my favorite show!" (All this week on various stations, including CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, and C-SPAN.)

2. The late night shows return.
Finally, Letterman, Leno, Conan and the others are back after vacations and the Olympics. All except Carson Daly, of course.

3. The Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon.
Laaaadeeee! Is Ed McMahon going to cohost this year? (Sunday starting at 9pm on various stations - check local listings.)

4. The new cast of Dancing with the Stars revealed.
I still want to see Andy Dick on this show. (Unveiled on Good Morning America this morning...actually, probably right about now.)

5. The U.S. Open.
It's amazing how much this is on, taking up the entire programming schedule on USA Network. But that's a good thing! (All week on USA, from 11am to 6pm, then from 7pm to late night.)

6. The season premiere of Greek.
The horrible summer is almost over, Labor Day is here, and the new fall season has begun. (Tuesday at 9 on ABC Family.)

Tuesday is crazy. Not only will I be watching the DNC (because I DO care) and tuning into my favorite tournament this side of Wimbledon, the US Open... but Greek is also new?!

Lovely week ahead.

Sarah: actually, it goes to the Dancing with the Stars category.

Your "Dancing with the Stars" link in #4 above brings up the story of Howie Mandel being nominated for an Emmy.

And, Chadwick, some of us do care about Obama and will actually be voting for him!

Your right. Many people don't care about the convention. Nor do they think highly enough of Obama to waste their time watching him yack about nothing he has ever accomplished in congress.
