First of all, I'd like to apologize for last week's column in which I annoyingly implored you at least 37 times to watch Bionic Woman (NBC, Wed, 9 pm). It's not that the show isn't awesome (IT IS!! SUPER-DUPER AWESOME!!), but you're probably interested in other shows as well, right? Even shows considerably dumber and less sexy than Bionic Woman (NBC, Wed, 9 pm). That's why I'm happy to introduce you to some other shows debuting this week—one of which is nearly as super-duper awesome as Bionic Woman (NBC, Wed, 9 pm). But since this show doesn't have an ass-kicking female cyborg, I wouldn't get too excited. Anyhoo, here's this week's edition of "Watch it... or DON'T! (See if I care)."
WATCH: Pushing Daisies (debuts Wed Oct 3, 8 pm, ABC). True, it doesn't have a hotsy-totsy robot with cybernetic cans—but next to Bionic Woman this is the must-see show of the season. Ned's a lonely pie maker who suddenly discovers he has the ability to resurrect people from the dead. However, if Ned ever touches them again, they croak and can't become uncroaked. Plus, if he keeps them alive for more than a minute, someone else in the general vicinity dies! If you love the moral ambiguities of Six Feet Under and the freak-ass style of Tim Burton, then don't miss this one, bubby!
DON'T WATCH: Moonlight (debuts Fri Sept 28, 9 pm, CBS). Tell me if you've heard this one before: A vampire starts his own detective agency to help human clients—instead of sucking their blood. If you guessed Angel, then you must be wondering why the creators of Moonlight think they can get away with this kind of copycat bullpoop. Well, for your information, Moonlight is TOTALLY different from Angel because (a) it's BORING and (b) the characters in this show are completely unlikable—and probably have herpes.
WATCH: Aliens in America (debuts Mon Oct 1, 8:30 pm, the CW). An American family takes in a Muslim exchange student to help their nerdy son appear "cool." Wow. That's not gonna work. Nevertheless, this new, charming series is another "must-watch" of the fall season. (BTW, if the parents wanted "cool," why didn't they replace their son's arms and legs with cybernetic robot parts? I'll never understand some people.)
DON'T WATCH: Cavemen (debuts Tues Oct 2, 8 pm, ABC). You've got to be kidding me. It's a freaking GEICO commercial, for chrissakes! Of course you're not going to watch it! What's next? A sitcom about the Hamburglar? (Actually, I think I'd watch that.)
WATCH: Dr. Steve-O (debuts Mon Oct 1, 11 pm, USA). First of all, I'm not convinced that Steve-O (the nearly nude douchebag from Jackass) is a real doctor. Regardless, in this new reality show Steve-O flies around the country "dewussifying" men who lack machismo. How is one "dewussified"? By having their head shaved and testicles stapled to their leg, of course! (P.S. I really don't think you should watch this. But if all the dumbasses in America were to get on this show and kill themselves? Well, that's a win-win, isn't it?)
