I first heard that Animal Planet had decided to produce its own
brand of television movies, I thought it was a great idea. People
who watch Animal Planet obviously enjoy watching animal related
stories which should translate well to feature length films. Of
course, that optimism was before I found out that Casper Van Dien,
star of such landmark films such as Shark Attack and The
Omega Code series had been cast as the lead. Big Spender
premieres tonight on Animal Planet.
Elsewhere, Buffy and 24 return with original episodes
after a long hiatus and HBO airs a grisly movie about one of the
first serial killers.
8:00pm
Buffy The Vampire Slayer – UPN – Rumors are circulating
that the real reason Sarah Michelle Geller is leaving the series
is because she wants to spend more time with her husband, Freddie
Prinze Jr. There are other rumors circulating that Freddie is
truly boring so at this point I’m not sure what to believe. Nevertheless,
the countdown to the end begins tonight with a new episode dealing
with Giles’ attempts to end the visions in Spike’s head.
Big Spender – ANML – A convict gets a new lease on life
after spending time with a horse. If the movie had been airing
on the Playboy network, that synopsis might take on a whole new
meaning.
9:00pm
24 – FOX – A new episode of the most exciting show on television?
Say it isn’t so! Are you telling me that there isn’t another two-hour
marathon of American Idol? I don’t believe it.
From Hell – HBO – Johnny Depp stars as a Scotland Yard
investigator searching for Jack the Ripper while trying to romance
a prostitute played by Heather Graham. Based on a true story.
(Except for that whole ending part where they reveal who Jack
the Ripper actually is. I mean, that whole thing hasn’t actually
been proven yet.)
