TwoCents 2008 Fall Preview - Mondays (CBS)

CBS gives us another full monday of Comedy and CSI...

Where We Left Off: Leonard and Penny had shared a spark-filled kiss and were about to go on their first date, but according to some interviews with Kaley Cuoco, it may not be all smooth sailing from here. Sheldon, Howard, and Raj are all still pretty much the same, but sure to provide continued comic genius throughout the second season.

Program Description: WORST WEEK is a comedy about Sam Briggs, an entertainment magazine editor who will do anything to please his girlfriend's parents … but instead becomes a one-man wrecking crew whenever he's around them. Sam (Kyle Bornheimer, "Jericho") and his girlfriend, Melanie Clayton (Erinn Hayes, "Kitchen Confidential"), have only one hurdle left to clear as they start their life together: breaking the news to Mel's conservative parents that they have a wedding in the works and a baby on the way. thingy (Kurtwood Smith, "That '70s Show"), a stern Judge, and his wife Angela (Nancy Lenehan, "My Name is Earl"), are protective of their daughter, and are really trying to let go of the anger they feel toward Sam … after all, disaster follows whenever he visits their house. But despite his best efforts, every time Sam takes one positive step forward in winning over his future in-laws, he inevitably takes two crushing steps back. But with support and love from Melanie who stands up for him despite his knack for making himself look bad, Sam will hopefully charm his way into her family. Emmy Award winner Adam Bernstein ("30 Rock") directed the pilot.

CBS

Show: How I Met Your Mother
Premiere Date: September 24th
Time: 8:00PM EST
TwoCents Staff Returning Comedy Rank: 6 of 12
TwoCents Staff Writer: TBD
Starring: Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan, Neil Patrick Harris, Cobie Smulders.
Premiere Description: "Wait For It" - When Robin shows up with an Argentinean Adonis by her side, Ted decides he is ready to hit the town with Barney and his performance is legen...wait for it...dary!, on the third season premiere of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Grammy Award-winning recording artist Enrique Iglesias ("Two And A Half Men") guest stars as Gael, Robin's new, sexy Argentinean lover and actress/singer Mandy Moore ("License To Wed") guest stars as, Amy, a tattooed party girl Ted hooks up with while out on the town.
TV by KP: I've watched the premiere episode and I was laughing from the start. Enrique and Mandy both give fine performances and the regular cast pick up right where they left off. I'm sure Neil Patrick Harris had a LOT of Emmy votes last night and will again this season!

Show: The Big Bang Theory
Premiere Date: September 24, 2007
Time: 8:30PM EST
TwoCents Staff New Series Rank: 19 of 26
TwoCents Staff Writer: Gargy
Starring: Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar
Description: Leonard and Sheldon are brilliant physicists, the kind of "beautiful minds" that understand how the universe works. But none of that genius helps them interact with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named Penny moves in next door. Sheldon, Leonard's roommate, is quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow CalTech scientists Wolowitz and Koothrappali. However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities... including love.
TV by KP: Watching the premiere episode of this show, I had one prevailing thought - this is just like any other sitcom that tried to make it and won't. It plays on the stereotypical 'geek' and the hot neighbor. We've seen it before and I'm not thinking this show will last, the cast is lacking that one hilarious character that could make it work.

Premiere Date: September 24th
Time: 9:00PM EST

Speedle Isn't Dead!!

CSI: Miami is bringing back Rory Cochrane who played Tim Speedle on the show until his character was killed during a gun malfunction in 2004.

CBS isn't saying HOW he's coming back but it isn't a flashback. This E! article has some suggestions: "There's no word as to how Jerry Bruckheimer's minions are going to explain Speedle's resurrection, but you've got your faking death, your witness protection, your evil schemes…etc."

Welcome back Rory, watch out you don't get hit with Caruso's aviators as he whips them off to talk to you!
