Fall 2008 Television Programming Schedule

Fringe

With the writers’ strike officially over, it’s now time for us to start anew. Let’s try to forget the repeats we’ve had to endure and focus on something else: the new Fall TV schedule!

There are many questions we all need to get answered. When will your favorite shows start?  What days are they now on?  Which DVR programming ‘conflicts’ will you have to resolve?  Will you need to buy another television???

Hopefully our detailed guide can assist you in the weeks to come.  We have compiled information from the five major networks and included the days, times and premiere dates for this season’s programs.

(NOTE: This schedule has been updated as of August 31. Don’t be surprised to see changes in the weeks to come.)

Men in Trees

(You can find our Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)

MONDAY (2/25)

  • A Raisin in the Sun (ABC, 8pm):  and the rest of his Broadway cast bring the play to the small screen.  I’m sorry - I believe his theater name is Sean Combs.
  • The Moment of Truth (FOX, 8pm):  Special night.  Apparently this episode is so controversial, the producers debated airing it.  Then they realized what network they were on and just went with it.
  • Welcome to the Captain (CBS, 8:30):  “Hope makes some new friends so she won’t be alone on Friday nights.” Their names?  Jack and Daniels.
  • Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (CW, 9pm):  “The women receive a surprise visit from JC Chasez.” They, too, are wondering why he doesn’t have anything better to do.
