(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 12/22)

  • Prison Break (FOX, 9pm):  “Sara is waiting for news of Michael in a luxury hotel, and she’s not enjoying the luxury.” She becomes unreasonably paranoid anytime someone offers to turn down her bed.
  • Momma’s Boys (NBC, 9pm):  “The guys go on group dates planned by their moms and individual dates they planned.” Until the big move, NBC will just run MTV’s hand-me-downs.
  • The Hills (MTV, 10pm):  Season 4 finale. “Lauren and Heidi run into each other and are reminded of why they used to be friends.” I, quite frankly, could use a reminder as well.
  • 17 Kids & Counting (TLC, 10pm):  “The family welcomes the arrival of Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar.” Wake me up when they get to “J.Lo.”

  • I Want to Work for Diddy (VH1, 9pm):  Series finale. “The final contestants train with Marcus Buckingham and are interviewed by Diddy.” If they mistakenly admit their loyalty for McCain, Diddy will retreat back under the covers.
  • Exiled (MTV, 10:30pm):  “A hip hop star’s daughter is sent to the island nation Vanuatu to live in a bug-filled jungle in the shadow of an active volcano.” Had she wasted her youth watching Survivor: Vanuatu, she would have been prepared.

Get Caught Up with a Dirty Sexy Money Marathon

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, News

DescriptionIf I haven’t already made it clear, let me say it now: I love . When I first discovered the guilty pleasure during a trip Florida, I was absolutely ecstatic. It was like discovering a lost love. The O.C.? Dallas? Melrose Place? Unfortunately, I was forced to wait until the channel was picked up in Seattle before I could be reunited with my newfound friend again.

Since that time, the channel has provided me a wealth of entertainment during program-lacking hours. Just this past Labor Day weekend, I caught myself getting sucked into a Beverly Hills, 90210 marathon. Now I’ve got to get my DVR prepared once again.

Later this month, those of you lucky enough to have SOAPnet in your area can catch up with the lives of the Darlings. The network with great taste will now be devoting 10 hours of programming to . If you like your soap operas, then this ABC drama is the one for you. Spoiled fraternal twins, politicians sleeping with transsexuals, immoral reverends with secret children - you name it, the series has it.

The Dirty marathon airs from 9am to 7pm on Saturday, September 27. Season 2 will then officially kick off four days later on Wednesday, October 1.

Beverly Hills, 90210

If SOAPnet’s daily airings of aren’t enough for you, the network’s Labor Day schedule should keep your DVR busy.

On September 1, the cable channel will devote 24 hours of programming to the original FOX soap. The tribute, which conveniently falls on a holiday, will get fans warmed up for CW’s heavily-hyped debut. Unfortunately, the marathon inconveniently runs up against the season premiere of another popular teen drama: .

SOAPnet kicks off its day-long coverage midnight Sunday. Everyone will then get to see 90210 for the first time on Tuesday, September 2nd.

The Office Puts New Spin on Repeats

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office

The Office Hey, reruns are a fact of television life—unless the show takes a major break (we’re looking at you Lost), you are bound to see some repeats on the tube. Never fear, The Office is about to bring you something extraordinary—a new and improved take on the repeat. Dubbed the “newpeat,” The Office will be reairing this season’s episodes with a twist. Two of the reruns will air on March 15th, but will include unaired scenes. Ta-da! A brand new viewing experience! The episodes are “Traveling Salesman” and “The Return.” “It’s about giving something extra to our wonderful fans,” said executive producer Greg Daniels. “Their loyalty must be rewarded somehow, and we don’t have the budget for 10 million muffin baskets.” No doubt this experiment will be a fun one for the fans. Count me among the many excited Office buffs who is looking forward to seeing the deleted scenes. Heck, I’d watch it again even if it wasn’t a newpeat! But wait, there’s more! Catch a special Office marathon on March 29th, featuring five episodes. And, for this very special event, none other than Office HR drone Toby will be hosting.

Ring in the New Year With Ugly Betty

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, Cable/Satellite

America Ferrera ABC Family will be running a marathon of Ugly Betty on New Year’s Eve, kicking off the “Be Ugly in ‘07” campaign. ABC’s campaign asks Americans to rise to the challenge to “be real, be smart, be passionate and be true to yourself” like Betty’s character. Good luck with that.

Aside from the campaign, the marathon is excellent news for those who may have missed this little gem of a series. This is a great way to get caught up on all things Betty, the eager little assistant at glam fashion magazine Mode. The marathon begins at 9:00 A.M. and continues for eleven hours. The whole shebang ends at 8:00, so you can get up and stretch your legs a bit before the big New Year’s countdown begins. Happy viewing!
