On "Jericho" tonight tensions heat up between the residents of Jericho and the neighboring town of New Bern. Several people are shot and injured when they try to steal salt from Jericho's salt mine. Nothing worse than salt free French fries (just kidding) but it looks like Jericho is heading for an all out conflict with its neighbors. This show is one of my favorites and, was to many a surprise hit but the ratings have dropped since it returned from its break. "Jericho" is a well written drama with some good acting and i hope it gets renewed for another season although at the moment it looks like its on the bubble.
>>Tonight at 8pm on CBS
New this month on dvd is season two of the 1970's television hit "Happy Days." This classic show set in Milwaukee in the 1950's is good family entertainment. This is the season where the Fonz becomes a main character and helps Richie as he grows up. Also Richie's older brother Chuck who was in the first season is gone but you won't miss him. This set includes all 23 episodes of the second season on a 4 disc set.
The mid season drama "October Road" has promoted two recurring players on the show to fall time members of the cast beginning this fall. The two players are Lindy Booth who plays "Pizza Girl" and Rebecca Field who plays "Janet The Planet." This seems to be a good sign for this show and looks like the network has faith in the show which helps its chance of coming back after its season ends this Thursday on ABC.
Sanjaya Malakar the contestant on "American Idol" who was the most recent cast off from that show last night read the Top Ten List on the "Late Show With David Letterman." Sanjaya became famous for his less than stellar singing on "American Idol" but remained in the competition because he was a fan favorite and also had people like Howard Stern getting people to vote for him. The 17 year old from Seattle was popular for his goofy charm and right now he is making the most of his fame. On last nights "Late Show" Sanjaya read the a Top Ten List that was titled "Things I Learned From American Idol." Here are three of the funnier items from the list;
>The camera adds ten pounds to your hair
>Voting for yourself 100 times an hour causes some wicked carpal tunnel
>America loves performers with bad hair - right, Dave?

For several years I have read articles asking why "WKRP in Cincinnati" wasn't available on dvd but now it is finally available with todays release of season one. The 1970's comedy about a low rated radio station had several memorable characters such as drunk dj Johnny Fever and the wacky newsman Les Nesman. This dvd set includes all the episodes of the first season including the classic "Turkey Drop" episode. This show is a classic television comedy and im glad its finally available on dvd.
A new hidden camera reality show premieres tonight on NBC at 10pm. The show is called "The Real Wedding Crashers" and was inspired by the movie "Wedding Crashers." In this show improv actors will go undercover and pose as things like wedding planners, waiters, guests or even long lost friends in an effort to pull off pranks on the unsuspecting party goers with the bride and groom the only ones let in on the pranks. If this sounds like an episode of MTV's "Punk'd" that maybe because the show is produced by Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg the producers of that show. Why would a couple sign up for this i have no idea, even if the producers pay for the wedding but it should be interesting to watch.
>>Tonight at 10pm on NBC
First of all i must say i enjoy "American Idol" and have watched it over many seasons but this year seems a little lackluster. Even ignoring the fact that Sanjaya shouldn't have been in the finals and, having to watch him every week. At least Sanjaya made the show interesting in recent weeks the performances have been dull and uninspired to say the least. The Latin Week as well as the week with Tony Bennett were probably the two worse weeks as far as performances went. I have read that it is being said that the talent pool of really amazing singers is drying up for the long running show but i don't think that is the case. On the show this year you have three really good female singers although a lot of the time their performances seem safe and not that exciting. Taylor Hicks last seasons winner didn't have a voice that blew you away but he put in solid performances which were entertaining to watch. I hope that now we are down to the last few contestants they can step it up and make there performances more exciting otherwise we will have a dull finale.
On tonights "Dancing With The Stars" the remaining celebrities and their professional dance partners get to perform two dances each. Last week ex NBA great Clyde Drexler was voted off the show and the former Mrs Mc Cartney fell during her dance will be interesting to see what happens this week.

Sanjaya Malakar the controversial contestant who was the most recent one eliminated on "American Idol" makes a guest appearance on the "Late Show With David Letterman" tonight. Sanjaya who had a popular following on the show even though his singing talent was less than stellar will present the Top Ten List. Sanjaya made it all the way until the top seven finalists with not great singing but helped by people such as Howard Stern and several websites that pushed people to vote for him anyway. In the end he has properly got more exposure by not being the greatest singer and his appearance tonight on the "Late Show" i'm sure will help him.
>>Tonight at 11:35pm on CBS
