Note: For those that receive TVaholic via email, sorry about yesterday’s not being delivered. Google is moving Feedburner, which sends the site content via email, under the Google umbrella. So, I moved my account, as they requested, and while all the information was transferred correctly, they didn’t send out the email this morning. Hopefully, this won’t happen again today, although if it does, you won’t be reading this message.

24 (FOX): New. Jack tries to take the situation into his own hands. Renee gets in over her head. Having only one hour tonight after having four in two nights last week, just seems like not nearly enough. What did you think of the first four hours?

Solid Selections
The Big Bang Theory (CBS): New. Sheldon thinks he has found a scientific way to make new friends.

Worst Week (CBS): New. Sam does something that goes wrong.
The third hour network selections are pretty weak and not even worth mentioning here.
Cable Choices

- Will Work for Food (Food Network): Series Premiere. Adam Gertler, who was a finalist on The Next Food Network Star goes around working different food related jobs. In this one he works as a lobsterman and collects honey. It’s sort of a food edition of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs, but probably funnier, as Adam has a pretty good sense of humor. It’s really what kept him in the competition on The Next Food Network Star. Plays again later.
