GeekTonic Picks for Shows Premiering This Week:
- Easy Money– Not sure about this one, but I’m going to check it out to be sure. Seems the appeal should be stronger given the current mortgage mess going on in the U.S., but I worry about how many over 20 years old (the likely target demographic) actually watch anything on the CW
- SNL Thursday Night Live – SNL focused on the humor of politics. I don’t always agree with their politics, but their political sketches are sometimes the only funny things on SNL. So I’ll be recording this and skimming to the good stuff.
- CSI – I watch this show occasionally. It’s pretty good TV even though they’ve diluted the show with spin-offs as if it was a Starbucks franchise.
