TV Premieres: What to Watch 03/08 - 03/14

Week 10 of the Winter (almost Spring) 2009 TV Season is here.  This weeks list has a small surge of returning and premiering shows.  Read on for all of the details.
Don't forget to check to be sure your clocks (and DVRs/HTPCs) moved forward one hour if you're affected by daylight savings time.

Note:  Download a free, PDF of all premieres and returning TV shows.  Download includes two sections - one sorted by release date and another sorted by title.  This has been updated with many additions from the last version - only those shows from 03/01 and later are included in this version.

Premieres and Returning Shows For this Week:

Out of all of the shows below, I'll be adding Castle to my list of favorites to record.  My wife watches Dancing with the Stars so I'll probably check out the trainwreck that should be Steve Wozniac - or he could prove me wrong.

 

Sunday 03/08/2009

Breaking Bad (10pm Sunday on AMC) - Season 2 Premiere

 

Monday 03/09/2009

Dancing With the Stars (8pm on ABC - Avail in HD) Season 8 Premiere with Belinda Carlisle, David Alan Grier, Shawn Johnson, Lil' Kim, Gilles Marini, Ty Murray, Steve-O, Denise Richards, Lawrence Taylor, Chuck Wicks, and Steve Wozniak partner with dance professionals to compete.  Anyone want to bet on how many days before Wozniak is "kicked off the island?"  I'm betting two.

Castle (10pm on ABC- Avail in HD) A series premiere on ABC.  The story centers around Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion from Firefly and Dr. Horrible) is a successful murder-mystery writer who has just killed off his main character.  However, it seems one of his fans liked his books just a bit too much when a copycat murderer starts running around killing people as described in Castle's books.  In an interview Fillion recently did, he called his "Castle" character a genuine  "douche".  I'll be watching this show mostly because of Fillion.  Not as good as a never to be had, second season of Firefly, but I'll take what I can get.

 

Tuesday 03/10/2009

Jail(8pm on MyTV) - Series Premiere of a new reality program that follows criminals through the corrections process from booking through incarceration.  Yes, you did read that right...
