Prime Picks
Power of 10 (CBS): New. Drew Carrey asks contestants to guess what the survey says, but instead of the top five answers being on the board, you have to pick the right range of percentages to win the money.
Criminal Minds (CBS): Repeat. New member of the team Emily Prentiss is part of the team that heads to Guantanamo to interrogate a prisoner that may have information about a cell planning a bombing.
CSI: NY (CBS): Repeat. Runner dies during a marathon and the team has to try and investigate while dealing with the crowds there to watch the race.
Solid Selections
Anchorwoman (FOX): Series Premiere. A small TV station owner in a small town in Texas tries to increase his news broadcast’s rating by hiring a new reporter. She just happens to be a beautiful blonde model and former WWE wrestler with no reporting experience or training whatsoever. Will it work? Can blonde hair, big boobs and a short skirt save the station? Can she prove that she is more than a pretty face? Does anyone care? Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out. I probably won’t be, but in the first hour of primetime, it’s the second best option, unless you just love reruns of According to Jim on ABC.
Bones (FOX): Repeat. It turns out that Brennan’s father may have some connection to a body found burnt on top of a federal building.
Dateline NBC (NBC): New. It’s this or Primetime on ABC, so really, I hope you have cable if a repeat CSI: NY doesn’t interest you in the final hour of primetime tonight.
Cable Choices
