Well TV always has you covered! While most people enjoy doing things other than watching TV in the summer (think hiking, reading, traveling, sports), a lot of other people just want to sit down and watch repeats or watch the episodes they have missed in the past. Hey I’m not perfect. Ill admit it, on occasion I have “watched for” a repeat episode in the summer time when I know I have missed it when it was originally on! Everyone does it at least once - don’t lie! These newer shows might include American Idol, Mad Men (not repeats but actual new shows), Americas Got Talent, My Boys, The Hills, etc. The old ones include the usual - Buffy, Dawson’s, etc. A lot of these shows are repeats some are new. It really depends on what you want to watch!

Summer 2009 -
“The Listener”: Stolen straight out of “Heroes,” a 24-year-old guy will solve crimes…wait for it…not by talking to ghosts (”Medium” and “Ghost Whisperer”) or being insanely good at spotting clues (”Monk,” “Psych,” and “New Amsterdam”) or through actual investigation (”Law & Order,” “CSI,” “Life,” or “Bones”), but by reading their minds.

Reality shows:
1) “America’s Toughest Jobs,” which I’m assuming is a matter of opinion.
2) “Shark Taggers,” where marine biologists mark underwater beasts with transmitters and probably have a couple hundred close calls. Maybe they should make a guest appearance on “America’s Toughest Jobs.”
3) “Chopping Block,” a couples version of “Hell’s Kitchen,” where they’ll try to successfully open their own restaurant in Manhattan, starring chef Marco Pierre White.

For a lot of us - TV shows are like important appointments. We usually don’t forget them unless something more important comes along. So in the case of the missing TV show you might be wondering if it got discontinued or if you really forgot all about it! In a lot of cases shows do get canceled. And yes, it does stink. But hey what are going to do? Call the TV channel? Put out a petition? That’s a no go! In a lot of cases your favorite show really may have gotten canceled and there is not a darn thing you can do about it - except latch yourself on to a new show! One thing I would suggest you do is to check out a few blogs for TV schedules. This will allow you to see if your show really did get canceled or if it just switched nights or times. This has happened to me a lot. It happened with CSI and I was dumbfounded as to how a show that awesome could get canceled. Here it just switched its schedule. So searching for your specific schedule would be a really smart thing to do. This one is a little outdated but nonetheless you will get an idea about what these lists look like:

MONDAY
8:00 The Big Bang Theory
8:30 How I Met Your Mother
9:00 Two and a Half Men
9:30 Worst Week
10:00 CSI: Miami

TUESDAY
8:00 NCIS
9:00 The Mentalist
10:00 Without a Trace

WEDNESDAY
8:00 The New Adventures of Old Christine
8:30 Project Gary
9:00 Criminal Minds
10:00 CSI: NY

THURSDAY
8:00 Survivor
9:00 CSI
10:00 The Eleventh Hour

FRIDAY
8:00 Ghost Whisperer
9:00 The Ex List
10:00 Numb3rs

SUNDAY
7:00 60 Minutes
8:00 The Amazing Race
9:00 Cold Case
10:00 The Unit

Another thing I would suggest doing - if you cant find your TV show is to look online and do a search. Chances are if you have a rift over why your show went missing - others will be talking about it as well. In this case you will find a website or wen page that is pretty much guaranteed to have ALL the canceled shows listed on it. So it might look something like this:

Masters Of Illusion (MNT)
Ending after one season, final episode on 5/18/2009

The Middleman (FAM)
Ending after one season, final episode on 9/1/2008

Mind Of Mencia (COM)
Ending after four seasons, final episode on 7/23/2008

Everything should be in alphabetical order, this is the easiest way to find your poor show that did or didn’t get canceled. If after all that you still cant find your show, the very last thing you can do is either visit the network online and look on their speciality TV schedule or just go ahead and email them and ask what happened to your show! They should email you back in a few days, and then you will finally know what happened! Good luck. I hope your show didn’t get canceled because that puts such a damper on things, doesn’t it?!?

The spring 2009 TV shows are going to be here pretty soon and some of our long awaited questions will be answered (finally). Questions about Romance, family, and talking … mustangs? Well whatever shows you like (for whatever reason) you will be able to finally catch up with what’s been going on and what is going on with all your shows. Not only will you find a lot of your shows that you already like but as usual you will also find shows that are brand spanking new. Some of these shows you will love, some you won’t. But hey what are you gonna do? The TV execs put so many TV shows on TV because one show or another has to appeal to you, right? Unless your one of those crazy folks that doesn’t own a TV or something *gasp*. Some of the newer shows include that of:

Jan. 9: Howie Do It, NBC
Contestants are pranked by Howie Mandel, who is sometimes in disguise.

Jan. 18: United States of Tara, Showtime
Toni Collette as a mother with multiple personalities. Created by Steven Spielberg.

March 24: Cupid, ABC.
Remake of the beloved-but-canceled series about a man who may be Cupid or may be crazy. Bobby Cannavale stars.

I absolutely love that new show “Tara” it is superbly funny! Alright so some parts are a little “odd” but that’s what makes the show! I haven’t even bothered to check out Cupid - now that looks a little odd to me! Dollhouse looks good too, but I have too many other shows I watch that day! The great thing about TV is that you can watch what you like, when you want (DVR/TIVO) and there is a ton of different shows out there to choose from. Maybe you like criminal shows, or drama or comedy or reality - whatever you like, it probably exists. And if it doesn’t exist? Give it a few months, someone will think of it eventually! Returning shows include American Idol, 24, Hell’s Kitchen, Life, The Closer, Lost, Survivor and South Park. Enjoy!

When it comes to television anymore - it’s hard to keep up honestly. So many different channels, so many different shows - ah so little time! One thing I do is try to find a blog that I really like that has a show or channel schedule of all the different things on TV. Sometimes you might be watching a show and then see a commercial about a show you have been waiting to come on and then you forget when/where! Oh I have done this many times! A few weeks ago I was watching Bones and they were having a commercial for the new Ghost Hunters (regular not international). And I love that show! But in a millisecond I completely forgot when it was supposed to be on, what channel and what time.

So I just went on over to my favorite TV blog and checked the schedule there! No fuss no muss. I’ll be honest - I like TV. So I usually have shows I watch on most nights of the week. But I end up DVRing a lot of them because I work too much. Once in awhile I might forget when a certain show is on - so I just look at the blog schedule and then I am reminded! By the way these schedules are for ANY TV show on any channel - not just FOX or ABC or NBC or any other “popular” main station. You got MTV, VHI, Food Network, Sci-Fi, etc. But all the channels you will see are usually the ones available to you.

The only time I ever did have a problem was when we had satellite because not all TV schedules have the capabilities to show exactly what’s on for you specific satellite program/product. In that case you have to just check with your provider. The schedulers are easy to use. Just find the day then the time then the channel. It looks somewhat like a grid. So you just go to the channel and view underneath the time when it will be on. Really easy, really quick, and you might find shows on that you forget all about! I have done this a couple of times. Think a show isn’t on anymore. And then while I’m looking for something else I find the old show and realize it is still on - just another time or day! Ah the wonders of television - it’s a wonder I get anything done!

Comedy is one of my favorite types of TV shows. Not stuff like the Funny Bone or anything like that. But shows like 30 Rock, According To Jim and The Big Bang Theory. Not really slap stick but still gets a few giggles out of you every few minutes. This is the stuff that life is made out of. Ya know what they say - laughter is the best medicine. And who doesn’t love being able to sit down and watch a nice comedy after a long day or a bad day at work? Maybe you got stuck in traffic and your stressed out. This is the best way to feel better and let all your problems melt away. I think it’s really great how a 30 minute show can simply remind me to not take everything so darn serious. TV shows like The Family Guy are a great way to escape reality - even for 30 minutes. If you like comedies, then you should definitely, without a doubt check out the follow shows (available now):

The Office is an Emmy-Award winning American television sitcom airing on NBC and developed by Greg Daniels. It is an American adaptation of the BBC series with the same name and depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Unlike many American sitcoms, The Office is shot in a single-camera setup, without a studio audience or a laugh track, and is made in the form of a documentary. Although fictional and scripted, the presence of the camera is openly acknowledged by the series’ characters.

The New Adventures of Old Christine is an Emmy Award winning comedy series starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a recently divorced single mother. The series debuted as a mid-season replacement on March 13th, 2006 on CBS and is currently broadcasting it’s fourth season, which debuted September 2008.

Lying in a hospital bed, under the influence of morphine, he develops a belief in the concept of karma when he hears about it during an episode of Last Call with Carson Daly. He decides he wants to turn his life around and makes a list of all the bad things he’s ever done. After doing his first good deed, he finds his $100,000 lottery ticket. He sees this as a sign and, with his new lucky money, he proceeds to cross items off the list, one by one, by doing good deeds to atone for them.

King of the Hill is an American television animated series created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, for the Fox Broadcasting Company. It centers on the Hills, a small-town Methodist family proud of its Texas heritage. It attempts to retain a realistic approach, seeking humor in the otherwise conventional or sometimes even mundane. Judge and Daniels conceived the series after a successful run with Judge’s earlier Beavis and Butt-head on MTV, and the series debuted on the Fox Network on January 12th, 1997, becoming an early hit. The series’ popularity has also led to syndication by many local affiliates, the FX network, Adult Swim, as well as a number of international networks. The show has risen to become one of FOX’s longest-running series, and the second longest-running American animated series, behind The Simpsons. In 2007, it was named by Time Magazine as one of the greatest television shows of all time.

How I Met Your Mother is an American situation comedy that premiered on CBS Broadcasting on September 19th, 2005. The show was created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays. As a framing device, the main character, Ted Mosby, in the year 2030 recounts to his son and daughter the events that led to his meeting their mother, which explains the title and allows for a narration in the past tense. How I Met Your Mother’s other main characters are Marshall Eriksen, Robin Scherbatsky, Barney Stinson, and Lily Aldrin. Thomas and Bays drew from their friendship in creating the characters, with Ted based loosely on Bays, and Marshall and Lily based loosely on Thomas and his wife.

Kath & Kim is a Logie Award-winning character-driven Australian television comedy series, created by Jane Turner and Gina Riley. The series revolves around the family matters and relationships of the title characters, a dysfunctional mother and daughter. Kath & Kim stars Jane Turner as Kath Day-Knight, a cheerful 50-something divorcee currently in a happy relationship with her fiance (and then husband), the prissy Kel Knight. She deals with her spoilt, ever complaining, 20-something daughter Kim Craig; Kim’s unlucky, sports obsessed second best friend Sharon Strzelecki; Kim’s estranged husband Brett Craig; and their baby daughter Epponnee Rae Craig. The series is set in the fictional suburb of Fountain Lakes, in Melbourne, Victoria, but is primarily filmed in and around areas of Patterson Lakes, Melbourne.

If you love the mystery and don’t mind the “gross out” factor of some crime scene shows, then chances are you love shows like CSI. I know I do! I have been watching CSI (Grissom) since it first came out on October 6th, 2000. Since then I have been an avid watcher of Willows, Grissom, “Nicky”, Sara, Warrick and the rest of the lot. But there is a ton of different crime scene television shows out there. Some are of the CSI franchise, while others are Bones and Criminal Minds. But really, who is the best of the best? Who gets watched the most? And more importantly who has the most die hard fans? Well, listed below we have the top five best crime scene shows available on TV (now). No, I’m not going to list ones that are 20 years old like Matlock or Murder She Wrote. This isn’t old school! Check it out:

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is an American crime drama television series. CSI premiered on CBS on October 6th, 2000. The ninth season began airing on October 9th, 2008 and currently airs in the United States on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. The show was created by Anthony E. Zuiker and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It is filmed primarily at Universal Studios in Universal City, California. CSI Las Vegas is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television and CBS Productions, which became CBS Paramount Television in the fall of 2006. Formerly a co-production with the now-defunct Alliance Atlantis Communications, that company’s interest in the series is now owned by investment firm GS Capital Partners, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs.

Flashpoint is about the dramatic portrayal of an elite tactical unit, called the Strategic Response Unit (SRU), within a Canadian metropolitan police force (styled on the Toronto Police Emergency Task Force, Toronto being where the series is filmed). The SRU are tasked to resolve extreme situations that regular officers cannot handle including hostage-taking, bomb threats and heavily armed criminals. Even though they’re backed with high-tech equipment with an arsenal of explosives, tasers, sub-machine guns, assault and sniper rifles, the SRU operators use intuition and judgement to resolve the situation.

The show Bones begins in the year 2005, and tells the story of a series of case files, solved weekly, by an unlikely alliance between Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan’s forensic anthropology team at the Jeffersonian Institution (a thinly veiled allusion to the Smithsonian Institution) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. By examining the human remains of the murder victims, Dr. Brennan and her team provide scientific expertise and an outsider’s perspective to the world of criminal investigation to the FBI. In addition to the murder cases featured in each episode, the series explores the backgrounds and relationships of the major characters including the developing friendship and possibly romantic relationship between Brennan and Booth.

NCIS is a television show that follows a fictional team of Naval Criminal Investigative Service Major Case Response Team (MCRT) special agents, headquartered at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. It is described by the actors and producers (on special features on DVD releases in the USA) as being distinguished by its comedy elements, ensemble acting and character-driven plots. The “NCIS team” is led by Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Gibbs’ team is composed of Special Agent and Senior Field Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) and Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David (Cote de Pablo). The team is assisted in their investigations by Chief Medical Examiner Donald “Ducky” Mallard (David McCallum), Forensic Specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) and Assistant Medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen).

The series of Criminal Minds originally centered on Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin), one of the BAU’s best profilers. On July 17th 2007, it was announced that Patinkin had been granted a request to be released from his role on the show. Patinkin was replaced by Joe Mantegna, who joined the cast several episodes after Patinkin left the show.[1] The show is also centered around the BAU’s Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson). Hotchner struggles to balance his family life and his job. The rest of the BAU consists of Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), Jennifer Jareau (AJ Cook), Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) and David Rossi (Joe Mantegna). The team is headquartered out of Quantico, Virginia at the FBI academy. The show focuses on the BAU traveling around the United States as they catch the most dangerous criminals. Each episode, except for a few, begins and ends with a quote that is relevent to the episode. The quotes were overwhelmingly recited by Gideon until his departure; since then each member has said the quotes.

I’m a long time fan of ER - I have been watching it since the very first episode in 1994. ER is an Emmy Award-winning American medical drama series created by the late novelist Michael Crichton and airing on NBC. It is set primarily in the emergency room of fictional County General Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. It is produced by Constant c Productions and Amblin Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television Production, Inc. It is probably one of the most thought provoking, action packed, funniest shows I have ever and will ever watch. So, ya I am a big ER fan. But I have also watched Grey’s Anatomy as well. Grey’s Anatomy is an American prime time medical drama. It debuted on ABC as a mid-season replacement for Boston Legal on March 27th, 2005, immediately following Desperate Housewives. The title of the show is inspired by the classic medical textbook Gray’s Anatomy.

The series revolves around Dr. Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo, who began the show as a surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital in Seattle, Washington. Both sound like awesome shows right? Well they are! As for which is better? I think that depends on you. Personally, I like ER better. But I am biased because as aforementioned I “grew up” watching ER. I went through the deaths, the leaves, and the sicknesses. Funny how much a show can mean to you, isn’t it? Maybe to some people they can disconnect themselves. But for me? Dr. Green made me cry (especially the flashbacks). It sucked when Abby decided to leave. And you always felt really bummed when you missed an eppie on accident! As for Grey’s Anatomy, you know we all love McDreamy and McSteamy, and watching all of them co-habit the hospital can just be plain hilarious. For me, watching Grey’s is like being back in high school. If that makes sense, then you know exactly where I’m coming from. And if not, then you must have skipped school a lot!

Personally, for anyone out there, I would say don’t get involved with ER. Because after many years it is finally ending! Although you could always go ahead and rent the old DVDs on Netflix or something! However, Grey’s is probably going to be around for a while! So if this is something that you like - action/comedy/drama all wrapped up into one in a hospital type show - I say Grey all the way! One really cool thing you can do to find out more about Grey’s Anatomy is to visit a few TV blogs available online. These are completely free and you can get to know all your Grey friends, who they are, where you have seen them before, show previews, etc. I highly recommend these types of sites! They can become incredibly addicting just like that of your prime time TV show addictions!

At first blush, a lot of people probably stick with the TV guide (paper). But for me? I haven’t read one of those things in forever. The only reason I buy them is for the crossword puzzle in the back. However, I do need my television fix and I do need to find out more about my addictions. For example, Grey’s Anatomy. This has become another one of the biggest prime time “ER” type shows around. In fact, I think they have the show ER to thank for their success! Enter the world of Seattle Grace Hospital, where resident physicians and interns strive to become the best surgeons in the country — but first they must tread the muddy waters of life, love and relationships. The series focuses around Meredith Grey, a surgical resident physician trying to live up to the repute of her famous mother, the brilliant Dr. Ellis Grey. After spending years taking care of her Alzheimer-stricken mother (who has since passed on) and failing to have a healthy relationship with a man, Meredith continues to try to have a committed relationship with Dr. Derek Shepard (a.k.a. McDreamy).

Sound good? It should! It’s only one of my favorites - along with millions of others. This show is awesome because not only does it have a lot of intellect but there is a lot of real feelings behind the show. Its fantasy but its reality. I mean how many of you women out there have the same problems as Meredith?!? I’m guessing a few (a lot) of you! This show truly brings a genuinely good shows to people like you and me. But if you haven’t ever watched this show and you want to know more you might have been wondering how you can find out more. In comes the television websites and blogs. These blogs can help introduce you to McDreamy and the rest of the crew over at Seattle Grace Hospital along with character and show guides, schedules, trivia and much more. I love sites like this. It can really get you in the mood for the show and it can get those of you that have never watched it - interested in watching it. Or trying it out anyway.

You can also watch video previews. These previews are small little “clip its” of the show. This way you can also get an idea about the show and what goes on in the show. These aren’t crappy little videos either. They are really high quality - some of the best I have ever seen. So, if you want to know more about Grey’s Anatomy or you think you might be interested in getting to know the show a little more? These are the best sites for you to check out. Very user-friendly (easy to find what you are looking for), very informative and very fun! I know I could spend hours on sites such as these!

When it comes to TV shows, it’s hard to keep up, let alone pick your favorites. If you want to find new shows, where do you go? If you want to find out when all your favorites are coming back, where do you look? Well, I don’t know about you, but I look online for everything else in life, so why wouldn’t I check the net for my TV show schedules?!? Pretty cool. It’s very easy to navigate, very informative, and you may just find a few new shows you never heard about before, and add them to your “list!” Well one of my favorite places to go are TV blogs, these sites will allow you to become a TV genius.

You can know everything and anything about the new and upcoming shows that are now available in 2009. Maybe some of them are ones you have seen before such as 24, Lost, or Survivor or maybe you can pick out some new shows that you have never seen before. These TV blogs have everything from schedules to previews to synopsis to top ten type lists. You really could just visit one of these sites and go from not knowing anything - to knowing everything. Let’s take a look at a few of the shows and blog posts available:

Do You Like Comedies? Check This Out!

Are You Interested In Reality TV?

Do Criminal Investigative Shows Get You Excited?

Ever Wonder If That 2007 TV Lineup ABC Offered Has Shows You Still Watch?

ABC.com Offers Free Episodes of Desperate Housewives

Television preview videos include the likes of Scrubs, American Idol, ER, Ghost Whisperer and much more! Personally I like the videos because it gives you a sneak peak into what is going on with any particular TV show. I also really like the TV schedules because sometimes (even if I love the show) I might forget when its on or what time it’s on. For example, I love NCIS, but I always get it mixed up with its old night rather than its new night. So I can just take a gander at one of these blogs and it will tell me when it’s on next time! Here is something like what the schedule looks like, just so you can get an idea:

MONDAY
8:00 The Big Bang Theory
8:30 How I Met Your Mother
9:00 Two and a Half Men
9:30 Worst Week
10:00 CSI: Miami

TUESDAY
8:00 NCIS
9:00 The Mentalist
10:00 Without a Trace

WEDNESDAY
8:00 The New Adventures of Old Christine
8:30 Project Gary
9:00 Criminal Minds
10:00 CSI: NY

THURSDAY
8:00 Survivor
9:00 CSI
10:00 The Eleventh Hour

10:00 Numb3rs

SUNDAY

No. I don’t really mean are you a lost fan. Although that would be funny. Instead, I am talking about the show Lost! This show has become one of the most unexpectedly popular shows ever. Seriously. And it’s not another Gilligan’s Island either. This is a good, well thought out show, with amazing character plots, good actors (who doesn’t love Matthew Fox) and a good storyline. Gilligan’s Island could have been over in two episodes. But Lost? This could go on for years to come. They just keep coming up with new things that happen. Alright, here is the back story of the show - after Oceanic Air Flight 815 tears apart in mid-air and crashes on a Pacific island on September 22nd 2004, its survivors are forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive. But they discover that the island holds many secrets, including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, housing with electricity and hot & cold running water, a group of island residents known as “The Others,” and a mysterious man named Jacob.

Okay, so it’s not for everyone. But if you do like these types of shows or you have seen Lost - you know how addicting it can become! Right now, Lost is in its fifth season! It seems like just the other day I started watching this show — oh wait it was! See, I wasn’t originally interested in this show. But I just happen to catch an episode yesterday and I have to say, I actually liked it! So this is going to be another one that I’ll have to get more into and watch a couple more episodes before I make a definitive decision as if I really like it or not. I hope not. I have too many other shows I watch! Anyway, if you like action, adventure, mystery and a tad of romance - Lost is just the show for you! Check it out Wednesday nights at 9pm Eastern/Pacific and 8pm Central!!!

Oh and by the way, if you have never seen this show and if you don’t know if you will like it or not - you could always watch a few videos online. I was on a website the other day a television blog of sorts. They had ALL the newer shows and the older popular shows available and all kinds of information, episode guides, channel guides, video previews, character guides, etc. So this should be something you are checking out if you want to know more about Lost, or any other show out there. They are really helpful!
