Week 1 coverage update

Prison Break: Picked up
Reunion: Temporary Stay of Execution
Bones: Temporary Stay of Execution
Head Cases: Cancelled
Threshold: Picked up

Next week is the big one..hope you enjoyed relaxing last Wednesday at 9!

Joe from theaveragejoes.net just got back to me..Episode 3 of the podcast will be online early Monday. Keep on listening!

Thanks and keep listening

I figured its about time I chimed in. As the co-host of Stealing cable, I would like to extend my thanks to the few hundred who have checked out episode 2. I hope you liked what you heard, or were at least intrigued enough to check out the upcoming episode 3 because I feel its a much better listen.

We are still trying to work out our own interpersonal dynamics during the shows, but we hope the content that we provide is entertaining and informative. Feel free to drop us emails and get in touch with us. I can pretty much guarantee that we will answer any email sent to us in the following episode because we care...and we have a lot of time on our hands.

Keep listening bitches.

What to Watch - Friday September 16, 2005

There's really only one thing tonight, the 2 hour series premiere of the best of the Lost clones, Threshold, starring Karen Sis...er..Carla Gugino, Peter Dinklage, and Roc. That's at 9 on CBS for those of us football haters who didn't see the barrage of ads last Sunday.

Episode 3 Finished!

We just got done recording Episode 3, and I'm confident that this one is our best yet. We welcome for the first time a third voice into the show, Jake Prestwich. While he has no real relevance to tv, he adds an important dynamic to the show. We hit up everything from House to Veronica Mars, to Battlestar Galactica. The show, at latest, will be downloadable on Monday, but if I can help it, it will be in your hands before then with a good summary here. Thanks for all of the support and keep checking back for the availability of Episode 3.

What to Watch, Wednesday September 12

Enjoy the relaxing Wednesday schedule while you can..in a week, there will be 70 shows on at the same time.

The only thing to check out tonight is Fox's "Head Cases" at 9. The buzz here has been decidely mixed, but enought to warrant a one off shot. I don't expect much here, and I even hesitate to give it a recommendation due to it being in the worst timeslot on the grid.

In other news, House apparently kicked ass in the ratings last night. More on this on Monday's podcast, or Episode 3: Still trying to ape a clever subtitle.

Now Available on Itunes

Stealing Cable is now available in several flavors for syndication, including Itunes' podcast directory. SO get our stuff! New show will be out every Monday with blog updates nearly daily!

What to Watch, Tuesday September 13

Tonight, for me anyway, is the real kickoff of the fall season.

8 - Bones (FOX) The series premiere is rather mediocore, but if this show picks up like it has the potential to, you'll be glad you got in on the ground floor.

9 - House (FOX) While this series didn't go with it's most interesting arc for season 2, it still looks to be masterful now that they know they have a full season, they can do some more multi-episode arcs.

10- Rescue Me (FX) The season finale of the summer's best show promises to be an explosive one. This is also Diane Farr's last. Of all of the new shows, if you can only watch one tonight, this is it.


Honorable Mention:

9 - Supernatural (WB) The series premere of the best new sci fi show of the season, and possibly the beginning of a beautiful cult friendship. It's also in the second worst time slot of the week. If you hate House, or love Sci Fi, point your tivo's to the frog.

Prison Break Holds out

Almost guarenteeing itself an extention for another season, Prison Break not only held it's ground during the regular season premere of Monday Night Football, but actually increased on it's audience by 15 percent. It is highly unusual for a serial drama to ever gain viewers on subsequent episodes because of the nature of the story, but hopefully this trend continues and extends to some other great shows.

Fall Preview Podcast

I will be recording a Fall Preview Podcast tomorrow night with reviews (yes, I have actually seen the pilots for these) of:

Everybody Hates Chris
Bones
Supernatural
Invasion
Threshold
Surface
Night Stalker
E-Ring
Kitchen Confidential
Global Frequency

and if I can find the damn EW DVD, My Name is Earl.

Also, a review of Bruce Campbell's made for TV opus "Man with the Screaming Brain,"
written and directed by Bruce Campbell, a Fall 2005 week 1 What to Watch, and our own season outlook.

Happy Fall season 2005!

Officially kicking off with Fox's third season premiere of the O.C. and series premiere of Reunion tonight, Fall 2005 looks to be a black black night with a few bright stars compared to last year's love fest. Prison Break was great, but my other most anticipated serial drama, Reunion, was complete butt. With a tempting murder story dressed in crappy teen soap drama and a package of writing and directing that Dr. Uwe Boll would be proud of, Fox has dropped the first stain on what looks to be a flood of crap fall season. Thank god Nip/Tuck is coming back soon.

In other news, I have my paws on the pilots for Supernatural, Bones, and an interesting one you may have heard of called Global Frequency. My Name is Earl's pilot is on the DVD that comes with select issues of Entertainment Weekly. As soon as i find the son of a bitch, I will put up a review.
