Season premieres: The Big Bang Theory, Boston Legal, CSI: Miami, Dancing with the Stars, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Worst Week
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Special two-hour premiere. “The season begins with 13 new celebrities.” Any time a reference is made about Kim Kardashian’s butt or cut foot, take a drink.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie runs into an ex-girlfriend whose son bears a striking resemblance to him.” As if Charlie Sheen really needed to get involved in another custody issue.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Special two-hour premiere. “Suresh makes an important breakthrough.” It’s taken him two seasons to realize how boring his character is.
- Worst Week (CBS, 9:30pm): Series premiere. “Disaster-prone Sam Briggs, and his girlfriend, Melanie, visit her parents – who don’t like Sam – to tell them that they are engaged and expecting a child.” It’s always good to get the disappointing news out all at once.

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 October 9. Don’t be surprised to see changes in the weeks to come.)

The Office Scores Super Bowl Slot

Over the past few years, football lovers have been given something almost as exciting to watch after the Super Bowl as they have during the game. Remember when Francie was killed on Alias? When House diagnosed Mira Sorvino while she was at the South Pole? How about that explosion on Grey’s Anatomy?
Well, it’ll be NBC’s turn to air the game next February and the network has made its post-game choice: The Office. According to Entertainment Weekly, the producers are may even put together another hour-long episode for the coveted time slot. Of course, details about the plans are being kept secret. (I’m going to make an early guess and say that it will somehow involve a wedding or a baby. Or both.)
Super Bowl XLIII will be played on February 1, 2009. Until then, keep yourself busy with The Office when it returns on September 25.

Amy Poehler to Star in Office Spinoff

In the past few years, fans of the creatively-uneven Saturday Night Live have seen several great female members leave. First there was Tina Fey, then Maya Rudolph. Now it looks as if Lorne Michaels will soon have another void to fill.
Earlier today, Amy Poehler confirmed to the Associated Press that she too will become part of NBC’s primetime programming. The comedienne, who was just nominated for her SNL work, is set to star in the spinoff of The Office.
The 36-year-old, who is currently pregnant with her first child, could not or would not provide any details about her new role. Aside from the hiring of Aziz Ansari last month, not much is known about the show. It’s actually now being reported that the comedy will not be a spinoff after all; it may instead be a stand-alone series.
When Poehler will depart from the late-night program is not clear at this point. The comedienne says she intends to stay on through at least the elections. After that time, fans can see Amy in her new NBC project when it airs Thursdays @ 9:30 p.m. this winter.

Bright and early this morning, Kristin Chenoweth and Neil Patrick Harris announced the nominations for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Topping the noms for drama programs was newcomer Mad Men; NBC’s 30 Rock lead all comedy programs. In total, HBO was the most-nominated network while ABC came in second.
This year’s ceremony will be held on Sept. 21 on ABC.
