News & Notes
Over on cable, A&E has the fifth season premiere of Dog the Bounty Hunter, Bravo has the fifth season premiere of Project Runway, CMT has the first season finale of Chopper Challenge, History Channel has a Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight special, HBO has a Costas NOW special, MTV has the fifth season premiere of Run’s House, and TV Land has the series premiere of Family Foreman.
Wednesday has become the worst day of the week for TV, as there is nothing that really interests me on network or cable. But, a TVaholic needs to be watching something, so Wednesdays have become the day to catch up with stuff off the DVR that I had to record while I went to work, like last night’s The Cleaner. Hey, even Saturdays have Robin Hood right now and I have a few of those to watch as well. Are you watching anything on Wednesdays?
Prime Picks
So You Think You Can Dance (FOX): New. There is not a thing in the first hour of primetime tonight that interests me in the least. The closest would be watching the first hour of SYTCD.

Solid Selections
