Welcome to a new week for This Week on TV! Ahh, I can almost smell the fall shows now. Is anyone else getting excited about the new season? The tv networks are beginning to air more and more of the promos for the new shows and I have to say, I’m REALLY looking forward to Chuck. He’s so freakin adorable and the premise is great. I can’t wait! But there are some good things on this week as well, so let’s see what’s playing this week!

Sunday is the premiere of the new miniseries on Spike TV called The Kill Point. It is 2-hours tonight, starting at 9/8c. This 4-part miniseries stars Donnie Wahlberg and John Leguizamo as two men who square off during a bank heist gone horribly wrong and hostage negotiations ensue. Leguizamo plays the leader of a small group of military veterans who set out to rob a major bank in Pittsburgh and Wahlberg plays the Pittsburgh Police Department Hostage Negotiator. This looks fantastic! Nice way to spend 2 hours a week for a month!

Tonight is also the series premiere of a new reality show called Trick It Out on MTV at 10/9c. $15,000, 14 days, a beat-up old import and two teams of tuners who think they’ve got what it takes. It pits two top teams of Tuners against each other every week in a high-stakes competition to see who has the best skills in the land. Each crew of four Tuners gets a similar car to start with, 14 days, and $15,000 to do their very best cosmetic work. In the end, the teams are judged by a panel of experts – including R.J. Devera, the top Tuner in the nation – the winning crews gets to go home with its car, while the loser gets nothing but the satisfaction of giving it their very best effort. If you are a car fanatic, this show’s for you!

By Jenny (This Week on TV)

I recently had the opportunity to talk to Bill Engvall (BLUE COLLAR COMEDY TOUR) and Nancy Travis (BECKER) about their new show THE BILL ENGVALL SHOW. Both are incredibly likeable people, with Nancy saying that with Bill, “What you see is what you get.”

The new show, co-written by Engvall himself, is set in a Denver subarb and revolves around a Bill Pearson (Engvall), a family counselor, his wife Susan (Travis), and their three kids. Their teenaged daughter Lauren, who in one episode wants to get her belly button pierced, their teenaged son Trent, who gets to play one game as quarterback of the varsity football team (much to Daddy’s delight!) and their youngest son, Bryan, who is smart, musical and has a pet that his parents don’t think much of: a snake. Tim Meadows (Saturday Night Live) and Steve Hytner (Roswell & Seinfeld) round out the cast as 2 of Bill’s best friends.

Welcome to a new week for This Week on TV! What a great week last week! Monk, Psych, Burn Notice (one of my new favorite shows!) & Eureka. I’m not sure you can get any better than that! Let’s see if this week has any other big moments…

Sunday is the series premiere of 2 shows on Lifetime. First up is Side Order of Life at 8/7c. This show stars Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210 & Tru Calling) & Diana-Maria Riva (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), along with Christopher Gartin and Marisa Coughlan. It centers on a young magazine photographer who suddenly re-evaluates her life and impending nuptials after receiving a “wake-up call from the universe.” I’ve actually heard good things about the show, so I think I’ll have to record it and see if it lives up to the hype!

Next up is State of Mind at 9/8c. This one stars Lili Taylor (Six Feet Under), Kevin Chamberlin (Heroes), Theresa Randle (Law & Order: Criminal Intent) & Devon Gummersal (My So-Called Life). “Created by practicing psychotherapist, author, professor and mother, Amy Bloom, the series follows a brilliant, take-charge family therapist whose personal problems rival those of her eclectic and offbeat patients after discovering her husband is cheating on her with their marriage counselor.” The executive producers are Greer Shephard and Michael Robin, who produce Nip/Tuck and The Closer, so how can I NOT watch??
