Inspector Lewis B
"In the beloved British cop show Inspector Morse, Kevin Whately played Lewis, the faithful, somewhat dull assistant to John Thaw’s boozy, cynical, Jaguar-driving titular sleuth. Morse went to the great pub in the sky in 2000 (followed two years later by Thaw), and now Whately's Lewis has been given his own show. In the first of three new adventures, he investigates who is killing members of a secret Oxford University society. The result features quality acting and a satisfyingly intricate plot. But it may take a few more shows before Morse fans stop listening out for the rumble of his Jag engine. —Clark Collis"
I haven't seen Morse, so this looks interesting.

Thanks for the update on Lewis, I am a big Morse fan and thankfully for DVR will be able to record this, missed the premiere but it repeats in the middle of the night (thankfully public tv is real good at repeating shows during the week) and see if it is at least as good as Morse was.

Another great season opener! I hope Michael stays dead this time! As always, McKay was hilarious, especially when he had to deliver the baby on board the wrath ship!

Preview Season Premiere
Big Brother 10
Every year I ask myself if Big Brother can top itself by finding even more hateful people willing to do or say anything for $500,000. I never though anyone could be as misogynistic as Mike Boogie…but then Evel Dick (the guy couldn't spell "Evil," for crying out loud) came along. And whoever thought Jen, the slop-cheating, red-bodysuit-wearing brat, could be replaced as the most ridiculous (albeit bikini-ready) contestant in reality-show history? Yet CBS fed us the busty, needy "Can I have a massage, Matt?" Natalie. So this year I'm not going to question the evil casting wizards. I'm simply going to clear three nights a week to watch the Chenbot robotically guide me through the most historically dysfunctional household on TV. How long until a new contestant exceeds all my expectations? I'm thinking a minute and four seconds.
Never watched this show...is it worth seeing?

Must Watch of the WeekSeason Premiere
The Closer
B
"Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) is back for a fourth season — and this time she's snacking a lot less and showing off her hot bod a lot more (10 minutes in and she's already prancing around in her panties). Partial nudity aside, tonight's opener has Brenda leading an arson investigation with the help of her season 1 stalker, pyromaniac Bill Croelick (Life on Mars' Jason O'Mara), who likes to douse his victims with alcohol and set them ablaze. The murderer's a bit obvious, and the subplot about Brenda's fiancé Fritz (Jon Tenney) urinating in their shower is soggy. But Brenda and Bill have enough reluctant chemistry and icky tension to make Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter proud. Read how The Closer became a guilty pleasure. —Aubry D’Arminio"

Series Premiere
Say Yes to the Dress
It's a behind-the-scenes look at the ''world's premiere bridal salon.'' Next month: a behind-the-scenes look at the ''world's premiere divorce court.''
Series Debut
Hurl!
A game show rewarding contestants who eat the most and vomit the least, Hurl! has its players scarf down a mound of pumpkin pies or mac and cheese, and then places the eaters inside ''The Balls of Hurl''— giant spheres rolled around to induce upset stomachs. Alas, like the work of Proust, most of the real drama here is internal. Plus, when someone does spew, the chunky disgorgement is digitally masked. Timid is the TV show that doesn't deliver on the vulgarity that is its primary reason to exist. C —Ken Tucker
Series Debut
From G's to Gents
Jamie Foxx went to the proverbial hood to find 14 guys who want to be made over by some dude named Fonzworth.
Series Premiere
The Cleaner
William Banks (Law & Order's Benjamin Bratt) is a former addict who now forces others to get clean. What a party pooper.

The Cleaner wasn't bad. Call it a solid B.

Looks like an interesting group of designers this time. I was so delighted to see Austin Scarlett flittering down the street to meet everyone at the first challenge.

Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job!
"Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim's magical comedy series feels like something you'd find on a 3 a.m. insomniac channel-surfing jag — hypnotic yet disturbing at the same time. And that's a compliment. Season 3 features commercials for the care and feeding of rented child clowns (they'll eat anything, including ''wet food logs''), the return of John C. Reilly as spacey TV host Dr. Steve Brule — and Ed Begley Jr., mesmerizing in his pitch for the world's worst cell phone. I worry I may have ordered one." A– —Gillian Flynn

Lewis Black's Root of All Evil
"The Honorable Lewis Black returns for a second season of this pop-culture courtroom show (think Judge Judy meets Best Week Ever). Each week, two pop-culture phenomena are pitted against each other, represented by a rotating cast of comic "prosecutors," including Kathleen Madigan, Patton Oswalt, and Paul F. Tompkins. After the debates, Black renders his verdict, determining which phenomenon is "the root of all evil." In the season opener, ultimate fighting will duke it out with blogging. Muscle-bound meatheads versus pasty pundits? Is there really any competition?"
