Tonight's a mixed bag of new and old, season finale and auditions. Thankfully, there's enough on to keep me watching for the evening!The 8 PM ET/PT programming includes a repeat C.S.I.: NY on CBS, new Friday Night Lights on NBC, new Bones on FOX, new George Lopez followed by a new Knights of Prosperity on ABC. Oh, and the CW Network has a new Beauty and the Geek. I'm still a bit undecided, but I think the Bones episode will get my vote tonight. I don't follow any of the other shows, per se. I wouldn't mind seeing the new Knights ep, but don't wish to sit through George Lopez to get at it. Oh! PBS has America's Ballroom Challenge! Um, no... not for me, but I bet some folks will love it. One of these days I'll watch Beauty and the Geek, but I'm not feeling it tonight.
At 9 PM ET/PT, my plans are pretty laid out. American Idol, the Los Angeles auditions, runs for a mere hour on FOX. You know I have to watch and write about it later. CBS has a repeat of Criminal Minds while NBC has a new Deal or No Deal. I like the former, but just cannot get into models opening briefcases giving someone who's not me cash. Now, if they were giving me cash, I'd feel entirely differently about the show. According to Jim and In Case of Emergency are new on ABC, neither of them thrill me at all.
In the 10 PM ET/PT hour, there's a new Medium on NBC, a repeat C.S.I.: NY on CBS, a new Primetime on ABC. Um... okay. Sometimes I watch Primetime, but they've been on a catching pedophiles kick as of late and it's turned me off. But I have other TV plans anyway. I'll be watching Top Chef on Bravo. It's the season finale and I've actually watched most of the shows leading up to it tonight as I caught them on one of the marathons. This is a good show that I don't always watch, but it certainly catches my attention when I come across it. Of the two finalists, I say "go, Marcel!" The other guy seems a bit too pompous to me although Marcel has his own attitude moments.
What will you be watching? Are you American-Idoled out already?

Hip Hip Hoorah Ilan won Top Chef...Marcel is ok, but I never liked his behavior. Sure it was a competition, but does that give you the right to treat people like dirt?
Still not watching AI until they get to Hollywood!
Watched "Beauty and the Geek" at 8,and,of course,came away so frustrated that darn Cici rode her partner's coattail and avoided being on the chopping block again!!The two stupid girls managed to stay out of the elimination and they are both still there. Grrrrr!
Watched the repeat of "Criminal Minds" at 9,never caught it before my "converstion". What a creepy,creepy show about the three best friends!! Yikes!! I was surprised at the ending too. Loving this show!!
Then my frustration level went up again,once "Top Chef" played out. I really,really wanted Marcel to beat that smarmy,snarky Ilan. I thought Marcel developed that hard shell early on when a lot of the others gave him a hard time. I think Sam even volunteered to help him just so he could stab him in the back!! He should have picked Mia instead of Michael anyway!I could not believe the way Elia turned on Marcel in the end and,of course,I could not stand Betty the entire way through. I was so happy when she went before Marcel and he ended up in the finals.I look forward to the next installment,and I soooo like Padma ever so much better than that Joel woman!
I didn't watch most of the season this year but did watch last night's finale of Top Chef. At least it seemed that the judges felt they had two very talented guys at the end, and the editing didn't seem like it was needed to manipulate the viewers to think it was one when it was the other, like we see on Survivor or Project Runway.
Sharon, I'm with you, not watching AI tile they get to Hollywood, and maybe even not much then. The exhiliration of watching raw talent be put through the wringer week after week were really there for me season 1 and with the one with Clay and Ruben, but there is always the possibility with each new season that they get really good folks in there and it can be great entertainment again.
