News & Notes
Prime Picks
The Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular (ABC): Repeat. Contestants play for big money.
Criminal Minds (CBS): Repeat. Reid is captured and then tormented while it is broadcast on the Internet, in “Revelations” from season two.
CSI: NY (CBS): Repeat. A fancy vehicle is helping in the getaway of a thief that is stealing from the elite in Manhattan, in “You Only Die Once” from this past season.
Solid Selections
So You Think You Can Dance (FOX): New. The Top 12 performs and the audience votes. Runs two hours.
Celebrity Circus (NBC): New. Celebrities perform death-defying stunts.
Cable Choices
Good Eats (Food Network): Repeats. Alton tries to get “Olive Me” in the kitchen to think about dealing with “Salad Daze II: The Long Arm of the Slaw.” Both episodes play again later.
Tyler Perry’s House of Payne (TBS): New. Two repeat episodes and then two new episodes play for a total of two hours of Payne.
Other Options
- Scare Tactics (Sci Fi): Season Premiere. Two episodes play tonight, as people setup their friends to scare the crap out of them. Tracy Morgan (30 Rock) hosts, but is pretty much wasted in the position. Both play again Sunday morning and late night. Fear may be funny, but Scare Tactics not so much. Read my review.
