Prime Picks
Chuck (NBC): New. Chuck is given his own asset to run. Awesome tries to cover for Chuck with Ellie when she starts asking too many questions. Jeff, Lester and Morgan attempt to learn more about Hannah, guest star Kristin Kreuk (Smallville). Been looking forward to this episode for a while.
Life Unexpected (The CW): New. Kate decides to transfer Lux to her and Baze’s old high school. Baze’s parents find out about Lux and want to have her and Kate over for dinner, to which Kate’s mom, played by Cynthia Stevenson (Men in Trees), and sister also get invited. Plays again Wednesday night. Once again, I loved this episode. Meeting the extended family is great, especially since it takes places at a dinner that the Walkers from Brothers & Sisters would be envious of. The casting of the parents/grandparents and sister/aunt is fantastic. It sets up a new dynamic that the show can play with now. One element of the story is completely predictable, but the show is done so well that I didn’t care. Have you been watching? What do you think of the show?
Greek (ABC Family): New. Casey is having trouble dealing with the guild over the fire. Rusty having won the grant contest has an increase in popularity. Ashleigh is trying to raise money for the sorority house that burnt down. Plays again late night Wednesday.
Solid Selections
House (FOX): New. The team is trying to diagnose the ailment of a college football player with a shot at the NFL. Also, Foreman’s brother, guest star Orlando Jones (MADtv), visits the hospital.

Ellen helps Tom out with a problem of somebody he is looking for regarding the case. Runs 61 minutes. Plays twice and again later, plus replays multiple times throughout the week. What did you think of the twist ending in the premiere? Wait until you see how tonight’s episode ends. The storytelling style keeps you guessing until they finally drop a little knowledge on you at the end. Yet, you’re still left wondering and wanting to watch the next episode right now. But, it’s not just what you find out in the end, it is other things that happen in the episode as well.

- Secret Diary of a Call Girl (Showtime): Season Premiere. Belle has published her first book and is worried about what her follow up book will be about. Runs 30 minutes. Plays again later. Have always been disappointed in this show, as it seems to be more about what they can put on the screen and not what it means for her or the people around her. Always thought this show would be good if it spent more time showing how she did this and not what she did. After watching the first four episodes of this season, I still think that is true. Probably won’t be watching anymore of this show going forward. What do you think about this show? Are you a fan? Been looking forward to tonight’s episode?
