Prime Picks
House (FOX): New. This is a great episode. The team is trying to figure out what is killing people that all received donor parts from the same person. House starts to tryout other people as a replacement best friend, while having a private investigator investigate Wilson.
Fringe (FOX): New. A bus full of fossilized commuters is investigated by the team, during which they come across a man that sees pattern related events happen before they actually do.
Without a Trace (NBC): Season Premiere. A man who has a missing daughter that has yet to be found has gone missing. The team investigates whether his desire to help another couple with a missing child has anything to do with it. Steven Weber (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Wings) guests as the new boss.
Solid Selections
NCIS (CBS): Season Premiere. Gibbs is investigating the murder of a naval officer and finds a connection between it and the new director’s reason for disbanding his team. I have been looking forward to the return of this, as I want to know whether they are going to go down the House route or bring the team back together relatively quickly.
The Mentalist (CBS): Series Premiere. A consultant to the California Bureau of Investigation and the team he is attached to, investigate the double homicide that looks like it could be the work of a serial killer they have been tracking for many years. Read my review and find out why I like this so much.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (NBC): Season Premiere. A foster child that has been abused is caught driving a getaway van and it leads to the team reopening a rape case. Sara Gilbert (Roseanne) is a guest star.

Other Options
- 90210 (The CW): New. It is almost opening night and Ty lets Annie in on his plan for an after party of two. Dixon helps Silver with backstage preparations. Naomi tries to keep her parents together. And, unless Kelly Taylor is on screen, I find myself kind of bored with this show.

Meanwhile, Sage and Rose blow off another tutoring session to go to a party. Megan accepts a date with the headmaster and continues to be completely oblivious to a jealous Charlie. I am really liking this show, as it is quickly becoming my favorite show on The CW.
