In honor of all this, we’ve got a very cool grand prize for one random commenter to this post (and four runner-up prizes)!

Holy smokes, there are a ton of DVDs being released today. If you can’t find something you like in this group … well, you have oddly specific tastes. The biggies this week include Californication, Life, House, Lie To Me, NCIS, Smallville, One Tree Hill, Samantha Who?, and Scrubs. That’s just to get started, though. You’ll also find thirtysomething, Wiseguy, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, The Untouchables, and a trio of History Channel favorites. My pick of the week? The complete series of Wanted: Dead Or Alive. McQueen, man. The full list is after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to CliqueClack’s guide for the 2009-10 fall season! Or, in the case of NBC, The Great Experiment. Now, if you didn’t realize it already, this fall season is going to be different from past years. First, there’s no ER, which will feel a little weird. Second, Lost will be ending its run in the spring of 2010. Third, American Idol will be without Paula Abdul. And finally, Jay Leno is going to come into your homes at 10 PM each night and try to convince you that scripted programming is dead.

Once this season pans out, that may or may not be the case on the big Four and a Quarter networks. With so many viewers moving to other venues of original, scripted programming like cable and the Internet, the networks are fighting for life … again. Well, NBC and ABC probably are: CBS and FOX are doing okay for the time being. So, the big question is whether or not they can come back with ambitious programs like Flash Forward, comedies like Hank and The Middle, which feature known stars, remakes like Parenthood and Melrose Place, and Chevy Chase?

ABC Media KitThe DVD for the eighth season of Scrubs comes out next Tuesday, and we happened to get an advance copy the other day. As you know (at least if you’re a fan of Scrubs), the eighth season aired on ABC rather than NBC, so it’s only natural that the DVD would be associated with that network. And now ABC is smartly taking advantage of the fans who followed the network swap by including a little something extra along with this DVD set.

Within the shrinkwrap packaging of the DVD is another DVD with what ABC calls its “ABC Starter Kit.” Essentially this DVD contains what any newcomer to many of their returning hit shows would need to understand what the shows are about. In this DVD, at least, there are short videos for Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, Ugly Betty, Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives and Castle. There’s a bonus two-hour “event” for Brothers & Sisters included in the DVD as well as the pilot episode of Castle.

New90210_114It’s August! Which means only 72 more weeks until America’s Got Talent comes to an end. And, only four short weeks until a new fall season kicks off. Hold on, folks. Hold on!

  • It’s steady as she goes on CBS as it presents a rerun of NCIS at 8:00 pm and Medium at 10:00. In between that rerun sandwich is a new episode of Big Brother 11. Oh, on this week’s Medium repeat, Allison has a horrific apocalyptic dream that’s followed by an earthquake. Of course, hilarity ensues.
  • On the Alphabet Network (that would be ABC) there is only one repeat: the 9:30 episode of Scrubs. It’s the second part of the “Scrubs Goes to the Caribbean” episode where the Janitor and the Lady get the Married.
  • The CW proudly presents a brand new repeat of 90210 at 8:00 pm which features a sweet-16 party, a hearty school rumor, and a secret. Yeah, it sounds boring; a description that Kona agreed with when the episode first aired.
  • Since NBC is full of America’s Talent this week, we once again highlight a rerun of PBS’s Nova, which airs at 8:00 pm. Tonight, the long-running science programs focuses on Peter Robbins, an engineer who built his own submarine in order to look for sunken German U-boats. Hm, an underwater adventure or sweet-16 party. Decisions, decisions.

Folks, I know you’re starting to feel the Rerun Rundowns as July comes to an end, but I want you to hold on. Soon enough the summer will be over and Jay Leno will premiere with his live 10:00 pm show.

  • An interesting night for CBS. Not because of this week’s repeat of NCIS (8:00 PM), It’s because tonight is the premiere of Medium (10:00 PM), which came over from NBC for two utility players and a draft pick to me named later. To introduce Medium, CBS is staring with the season 5 premiere.
  • NBC starts its night with a repeat of last Wednesday’s America’s Got Talent, followed by Tuesday’s new episode of America’s Got Talent, which shouldn’t be confused with Wednesday night’s repeat of Tuesday night’s America’s Got Talent. At 10:00 PM the network rebroadcasts the 10th season premiere of Law & Order: SVU.
  • At 9:30 PM, ABC reruns the first part of the Scrubs’ episode “My Soul on Fire.” You know, the one where Krista Miller and Sarah Chalke walk around in bikinis? So, it’s all good.
  • The CW shows the “very special rerun” of 90210 (8:00 PM) where Adrianna owns up to her drug addiction. Meanwhile, Blossom contemplates changing her hat style.
  • Finally, while not a repeat, ABC Family premieres Ruby & the Rockits, which stars former teen heartthrob David Cassidy. Let middle-age swooning commence.

Turk_Reid_ScrubsThe good news: a number of original series populate the schedule, providing a smaller amount of reruns. The bad news: Legally Blonde 3: Blonde Justice will not be shown due to the annual MLB All-Star Game. I know, you can’t stop crying.

  • God bless CBS for keeping some scheduling normalcy with their weekly 8 pm repeat of NCIS. In this episode the team investigates a … wait for it … murder. This is not followed by The Mentalist at 9 pm. Instead, that slot is being taken by Big Brother.
  • NBC (sixth place out of five networks) begins its schedule with a repeat of last Wednesday’s America’s Got Talent, followed by a new craptastic edition of the variety show. At 10 pm the network repeats the Law & Order: SVU episode guest-starring Carol Burnett. I could swear that I wrote about this repeat a few weeks ago.
  • Only one rerun on ABC this week — the 9:30 broadcast of Scrubs. This episode (”My Full Moon”) featured only two of the original cast: Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison. And, according to Jason’s review, was somber, but good. I agree with Jason.
  • Over at the CW (which, I believe, they are still considering a network) 90210 continues its repeat run. This week you have your typical ‘fake baby care for class assignment’ plot, your typical ‘friend makes bad choice about other friend’s out-of-control drug use’ plot, and your typical ‘high school collapses down Hellmouth’ plot. Oh, wait, that was from a different (and far more entertaining) show.
