A Few TV Suggestions for Monday Evening 4/5/2010
Likem
times PACIFIC:
3:00 p.m. TLC "LITTLE PEOPLE, BIG WORLD" (6 Hours)
(Repeats of last "season" air from 3:00 until 8:00, and then at 8:00
p.m., 2 new episodes air. I won't list all the repeat episodes, but
here are the new ones:
8:00 p.m. "Twins Go Commando" - "After years of growing apart, twins
Zack and Jeremy try to reconnect during their first trip to Europe and
go backpacking in Scotland"
8:30 p.m. "Amsterdammed" - "The twins have fun in London, but in
Amsterdam their personalities clash and a visit to the city's red
light district causes friction." THAT ought to be interesting!)
6:30 p.m. MTV "TEEN CRIBS" (:30)
(New episode, "Skiing and s'mores; swimming pool." I'd guess there
are possible VBs)
7:00 p.m. MTV "TEEN CRIBS" (:30)
(Repeat episode, "Eco-friendly glass house.")
7:30 p.m. Disney Channel "GOOD LUCK CHARLIE" (:30)
(Repeat of the brand-new show that premiered last night. The show
co-stars JASON DOLLEY and BRADLEY STEVEN PERRY. Bradley's "Gabe" was
easily the most interesting and complex character in the show -- based
on the one episode, of course)
OFF-TOPIC RECOMMENDATION:
7:45 p.m. Cinemax "PRIMAL FEAR" (2:15)
(This is a terrific film, with a GREAT GREAT performance by Edward
Norton. This was, IIRC, Norton's first real film [though IMDb shows
one previous credit]. Norton was nominated for the Best Supporting
Actor Oscar®, and *WON* the Golden Globe in that same category. The
film's description: "A publicity-seeking Chicago lawyer vies with an
embittered ex-lover prosecuting an altar boy in a high-profile murder
case." If you like GREAT performances, watch this film! It'll be on
Cinemax and ActionMax a few times over this coming week)
8:00 p.m. PBS (KLCS 58 in L.A., Check Your Local Listings for Time
and Day in YOUR Town) "CHILDREN OF THE AMAZON" (1:00)
(Has anyone seen this? Is this worth seeing or recording?)
8:00 p.m. Disney Channel "HALLOWEENTOWN" (1:35)
(JOEY ZIMMERMAN!)
9:00 p.m. ??
12 Midnight Monday/Tuesday ??
CHECK YOUR LISTINGS for the air-time, as some services get IFC on the
Eastern feed, some get the Western feed, and where you live doesn't
seem to necessarily indicate which feed you get.
"TOTAL ECLIPSE" (2:00)
(Starring in this 1995 film is LEONARDO DiCAPRIO. LOTS of VBs)
10:30 p.m. Showtime "UNITED STATES OF TARA" (:30)
(New episode! KEIR GILCHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
10:30 p.m. (MAYBE 1:30 a.m. Tuesday in the Eastern Time Zone)
"SHANE" (2:15)
(A great 4-Star movie!! Co-starring is the beautiful BRANDON de
WILDE!!!!!!!)
11:00 p.m. TLC "LITTLE PEOPLE, BIG WORLD" (1:00)
(Repeats of the 2 new episodes that aired at 8 and 8:30. See above
for details)
11:30 p.m. Showtime "UNITED STATES OF TARA" (:30)
(Repeat of new episode! KEIR
GILCHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
11:35 p.m. NBC "THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO" (1:02)
(Besides the always funny "Headlines" segment, Jay's guests this
evening will include Matt & Amy Roloff, from "Little People, Big
World")
11:40 p.m. Encore "ROCKY V" (1:50)
(Co-starring as the son, is SAGE STALLONE!!!!!!!!!!! He's not much of
an actor, but MY GOODNESS he was sure nice to look at! I still laugh
when I think about the producers claiming that he didn't get the role
because he's Sylvester Stallone's son, i.e. that he won the role after
they auditioned a couple of hundred kids. Yeah. Right. This will
air 4 other times this week; check your listings)
Happy Viewing!
