(You can view the whole Revamped TV Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (1/28)
**Live coverage of the State of the Union Address (9 PM Eastern) will alter many schedules. Double-check your local listings for times.**
- Dance War (ABC, 8pm): “One contestant from the losing team is ousted after the first round of competition.” Those remaining will learn Bruno’s ‘I’m Still Standing’ routine.
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): Pilot repeat. Late-comers can finally learn why Gossip is this season’s guiltiest pleasure. (And when I say ‘gossip’, I mean the show, of course.)
- In Treatment (HBO, 9:30: Series premiere. New therapy drama airs 5x a week with a different patient every night. Apparently Gabriel Byrne can’t handle them all at once like the masterful Dr. Drew.
- Making the Band 4 (MTV, 10pm): Diddy brings back all the winners and throws them together in one house. If they end up killing each other, he can finally start anew.
- The Biggest Loser (NBC, 8pm): “The willpower of the contestants is tested during a soda competition.” I know people who are addicted to Mountain Dew. Soda is not something to be messed with.
- Real Housewives Confess (Bravo, 9pm): Now that the season’s over, we get an update on Jo’s joke of a singing career. Place your bets now: who will get their album out first…Jo or Heidi Montag?
- House (FOX, 9pm): “The team participates in a gift exchange with a twist, courtesy of House.” Who cares if the show is a little dated? What’s important here is that it’s new.
- One Tree Hill (CW, 9pm): The show goes back three years in time. If Britney Spears could go back that far, maybe she too could redo that whole Kevin Federline thing.
WEDNESDAY (1/30)
- Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants (CW, 8pm): The final de-sashing ceremony helps CW sever ties from this lame experiment.
- Wife Swap (ABC, 8pm): “A burlesque dancer wife swaps lives with a lumberjack wife.” I really don’t want to know what the lumberjack learns to do with her chainsaw.
- Lost (ABC, 9pm): Finale repeat. Before you watch Thursday’s season premiere, relive the moment when you said: “WTF?”
- The Moment of Truth (FOX, 9pm): Last week’s Hair Club contestant resumes his time on the hot seat. If he truly is a gambler, then winning the whole prize shouldn’t be a problem…should it?
THURSDAY (1/31)
- Lost (ABC, 8-10pm): A one hour ‘recap’ special precedes the season premiere @ 9pm. Omigawd. I thought this day would never come!
- Smallville (CW, 8pm): “Unaware that Clark is actually Bizarro, Lana shares information with him about a serial killer who they suspect is Brainiac (James Marsters).” Spike’s on Smallville? I might actually have to start watching this show now!
- Celebrity Apprentice (NBC, 9-11pm): In this two-hour episode, the teams create ‘an awareness campaign for a company’s shoe donation program.’ I really hope they don’t expect their celebrity pals to give up any of their shoes.
- Eli Stone (ABC, 10pm): Series premiere. All those years trying to get ‘Faith’ out of my head have now gone to waste.
FRIDAY (2/1)
- Gone Country (CMT, 8pm): “Rich mentors the cast about the finer points of Southern hospitality and has them prepare a meal for the MuzikMafia.” I’m all for embarrassing celebrities, but what exactly does cooking have to do with singing?
- Friday Night Lights (NBC, 9pm): “Brian begins the three-game suspension and turns to Coach Taylor for advice.” My husband is learning to live without football as well. Maybe Taylor can spread the advice around.
- Monk (USA, 9pm): “Monk’s artwork becomes a hit after he takes up painting in his spare time.” Call me bitter, but I hate when people are rewarded for things they do in their spare time.
SUNDAY(2/3)
- Super Bowl Pregame Show (FOX, 2pm Eastern): Will Ryan Seacrest seem out of place in this football spectacle? Will Paula still be able to dance like there’s no tomorrow?
- Super Bowl XLII (FOX, 6pm Eastern): Will Tom Brady be able to cap off a perfect season? Will my hubby even know I’m there?
- House (FOX, post-game): I have no idea why they say the Best Supporting Actress winners are cursed. Did anyone predict that Academy Award-winning Mira Sorvino would be trapped in an Antarctic research station? I don’t think so!
