With any luck, I’m beginning a new update schedule. I plan to have picks online between Midnight and 2am central time most days, though of course every so often things will be delayed.
Remember that if you like these picks, I appreciate any donations you can make to help me pay for server space, my net.connection, and such stuff. I’m unemployed at the moment, so I don’t have the spare cash I used to have to throw at this hobby. You can donate as little as $5 or as much as $50, it’s all appreciated. Check out the Paypal and amazon links in the sidebar to donate. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! Your emails and job leads are also appreciated more than I can say. Y’all rock.
And now, the picks:
Lionel Richie performs on The Early Show (CBS, 7am-9am).
Up early and not interested in those darn morning network shows or talk shows? Why not watch Lois and Clark (TNT weekdays, 7am) or Northern Exposure (A&E weekdays, 7am and 1pm) before heading off to work? There are worse ways to start your day.
Maybe by now you’ve seen every single episode of Something So Right (USA weekdays, 8am), but if not– there’s still time as it’s still airing on USA in the morning. Jere Burns and Mel Harris star in this cool sitcom about a modern blended family. Shirley Jones and Bob Barker guest star in today’s episode.
I haven’t mentioned TNN’s lineup of old shows in a while, so in case you haven’t noticed (or have forgotten), they run two episodes of WKRP in Cincinatti (TNN weekdays, 8am and 8:30am) each morning. Also episodes of The Wonder Years (TNN weekdays, 9am, 9:30am, 10am and 10:3am). Today’s episodes of The Wonder Years are the final three episodes (TNN, 9am, 9:30am, 10am) and the pilot episode (TNN, 10:30am).
Tom Selleck guest stars as Thomas Magnum on Murder, She Wrote (A&E, 9am and 3pm).
