WATCH FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

So my fantasy football team is horrible and their appears to be no way to solve this problem so I must seek other diversions, so what luck that the new fall TV schedule really gets going this week. TIVO is both a blessing and a curse as it allows me to watch TV on my own schedule which would be impossible with my three year old. The problem is I record more shows than it will ever be humanly possible for me to watch so here is a quick look at the shows I will be recording that will continue to prevent me from ever seeing the many episodes of The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and PTI that already fill my DVRs memory. So here is what I will be doing until Lost returns in February.

SHOWS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON MY LIST--These are the shows I watched last year that I will continue to record and watch. Now one show I will finish is Damages. I am not sure how many episodes remain but it has my attention and I will have to see it play out. Add to that Heroes which is the only show I stay up to see on the night it airs. The Office and My Name is Earl I think are the two funniest shows on TV and the only comedies on my list. And I know it is seen as a chick thing but I was late getting into Brothers and Sisters but then watched two thirds of the season in a week or so to get caught up. It is an excellent family drama which seems to be the way my interest goes lately since I like few of the comedies on the air. Oh and don't forget Friday Night Lights. Watch Friday Night Lights Fridays at 9 on NBC.

SHOWS HANGING ON MY LIST - There are a few shows still on the old Season Pass list that have nearly lost my interest. In this group is Survivor, Desperate Housewives who I think just lost any sense of direction once its original mystery had been solved, and Grey's Anatomy which totally tested my patience with the Meredith character last season. She is just too ridiculous.

NOT ON MY LIST- Extreme Makeover Home Edition is not on my list but somehow I catch at least part of it every week. I watch it if its on and I'm not doing anything. I love the cool homes they build and I have to admit it gets dusty in the room sometimes when these families' tell their stories.

THINGS I SHOULD BE WATCHING- These shows won't make my list this year probably as I have to cut somethings, but I am pretty sure I would enjoy watching these programs if time allowed. 30 Rock tops this list. I figured I only had time for one SNL knock off last year so because of my love for The West Wing and the fact Chandler was my favorite Friend I chose Aaron Sorkin's Studio 60. Every indication is I made a terrible mistake. 60 is gone while 30 won Best Comedy and everyone I know who watches it likes it. I may catch up with it on DVD at some point but I don't know if it will be in time to get into Season 2. The others in this group are The Simpsons and Family Guy which make me laugh on the rare occasion I see them and Nashville a new Fox show which I think would interest me but doesn't quite make the cut.

NO THANKS- These are the shows that critics and networks are hyping that for one reason or another don't interest me at all. Chuck, Dirty Sexy Money, (terrible title) and the Bionic Woman make up this list. I loved Peter Krause in Sports Night and Six Feet Under and Donald Sutherland is always decent but I just can't find the motivation to give DSM a try.

NEW SHOWS- I will be trying these new programs at least once. Pushing Daisies has an interesting idea and I would like to see how it works. Back to You has a great cast although I must admit the second episode must be better than the first or I'm done. I give it a second week solely based on its criticism of live shots in front of closed buildings at 11 pm something I have been complaining about for years. Private Practice makes it because my wife will record it and since its going to be on there anyway I will give it a chance. Journeyman looks to be my early favorite for my potential favorite new show. I loved Quantum Leap and it appears to be a more serious version of the same premise which interests me. Also from what I understand the new twist to the time travel genre is if this guy is in the past for three days he is actually missing three days in his present life. No jumping back in where you left which may seem like a small detail but I thinks adds some interesting drama to an idea that has been done before.

REUNION AWARD- This goes to the show that I think will most appeal to me that will be cancelled before Halloween. Two years ago the deliciously campy Reunion goes off the air leaving me hanging in a mystery and last year it was joined by The Nine which sucked me in and then disappeared. I predict this year it will be Life about the cop off of death row who gets his job and his life back plus millions of dollars. I think they would have been better off making this a movie. Some ideas can not carry 22 plus hours of TV. This will probably be one of them.

FOOTBALL SUNDAY

My team is bad, my picks are worse after going 1-3 last week with a tie Bo sits at 4-5 on the season. Lets see what this week holds.

BO KNOWS The Juice has 6 players in the top 10 at their position aand The Gang's running backs can't break the top 25. It appears The Gang drafted a horrible team and that will get you an 0-3 start. The Juice will win.

BO KNOWS the 0-2 record is what I thought IPS would have on draft day but some of the most questionable picks have worked out. Cutler is top 10 at QB and how good does Randy Moss look this year? Match-ups are a problem though and The Cheese has Kitna another undervalued fantasy player and the better RBs this week. Cheese wins.

BO KNOWS H&V may love Westbrook and Ward this week but I do not. Barber and Gore are both playing well and after a disappointing tie last week Eye of the Tiger will win this week.

BO KNOWS Carson Palmer's team my have lost last week but he is the man in fantasy football so far scoring huge points last week. He won't have to do nearly that well this week because whether Burress plays or not the Bitches will defeat the Bs. (Great logo for the Bs this week though)

BO KNOWS Delhomme is a surprising fantasy scorer early in the year, but on the other side the Arizona receivers have been disappointing. With Owens in the other spot the Dullards need Boldin way morew than the griz need Fitzgerald. That will be the difference as The Griz win.

We end this week with a message for The Juice. Until next week.
