 As
the television season begins to picks up steam, it can be a tad
confusing to figure out when some of these new shows are actually
on. Take The Drew Carey Show, for instance. If you live on
the east coast, you can watch it at 8:00pm, before football, while
if you live on the west coast, it airs at 10:00pm, after football.
(Don't even ask me what time it airs Central.)
If Drew and/or football is not your cup of tea, Seventh Heaven
begins its new season while Treat Williams tries his hand as a leading
man.
8:00pm
The Drew Carey Show (8:00 Eastern/10:00 Pacific) - ABC -
Was it just me, or was last week's season premiere of Drew actually
quite funny? I don't know exactly what it was, but for the first
time in a while, the show actually seemed fresh. Tonight Drew learns
that Kate (Christa Miller), his one true love, is getting married
to someone else. As you might think, he does not take very well
to this news.
Seventh Heaven - WB - Like Michael Myers and Jason before
them, the Camden family returns for its seventh season of so-called
drama laced with religion and morality. On tonight's season premiere,
the family deals with Mary, who seems to be dating someone twice
her age.
9:00pm
Monday Night Football (6:00 Pacific/9:00 Eastern) - ABC -
So they finally got rid of funnyman Dennis Miller, replacing him
with the popular John Madden, and still the ratings continued to
plummet. Although, that could have been due to the embarrassing
and deplorable effort by last week's Pittsburgh Steelers. Tonight's
divisional matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington
Redskins promises to be closer, and potentially more exciting. (Especially
if we get to see new Redskin coach Steve Spurrier angrily throw
off his visor.)
Everwood - WB - Sometimes "buzz" can be a good thing, while
other times it might not. (Did a single person ever watch David
Caruso's earlier attempt at a "comeback" with the heavily hyped
Michael Hayes?) Tonight the WB continues it's quest for respectability
with this drama about a newly widowed husband (Treat Williams) who,
stricken with pain over his loss, moves his teenage son and young
daughter from New York City to a small town in Colorado (aptly named
Everwood.) I don't know yet if this show will make it, but ever
since watching Treat Williams whip some serious butt in The Substitute
2 & 3 (Yes, they made a third… And yes, I watched it… twice), I
have to give anything he does serious consideration.
