Don’t Forget the Lyrics premieres tonight on FOX. Last night was NBC’s chance to enter the competition for singing show dominance. The Singing Bee was originally going to start in early fall, but when FOX announced a similar show, NBC moved up the premiere date for a day earlier than the FOX show. Once again, proving that at any given time in Hollywood there is only a few ideas floating about and everybody is using them.
Prime Picks
The King of Queens (CBS): Repeats. Two episodes from the last season replays with Carrie wondering why they can’t afford a second home like Deacon and Kelly and then in the second one, Doug stops eating meat and it is driving Carrie crazy.
Criminal Minds (CBS): Repeat. Someone is about to auction a boy online and the team races to find the boy before this takes place.
Traveler (ABC): New. I thought I had missed last week’s episode do to a local fireworks special here in Seattle. But, ABC didn’t actually show a new episode like was listed in the TV show listing for the night, but actually replayed the second episode. So, I guess I didn’t miss anything after all.
