JPTV: What I'm Watching Tonight

Returned from vacation to a stack of screeners, which means I'll be catching up on my Future TV for a while, including Showtime's The Tudors, FX's The Riches, ABC's October Road and--saving the classiest for last--The CW's The Pussycat Dolls Present the Search for the Next Doll. Something tells me this is one singing contest where dirty photos online won't get you in trouble.

    I'm boycotting the Pussycat Dolls show, just because it's going to be depriving me of my bethrothed - Veronica Mars - for a couple weeks. Damn you CW...and damn you more if you dare to contemplate cancelling VM.

    James, any word on the new pilot for ABC that Christopher Guest is directing and Mitch Hurwitz (Arrested Development!) is writing?

    I am so jealous - I have been waiting for the Tudors for what seems like ages, please share your thoughts on the mini-series!!

    Chaddogg, I am guessing you mean the remake of "The Thick of It," though I wasn't aware of Guest's involvement. I believe it's still at the script stage. Hurwitz sounds like a good fit, less because of his Arrested Development experience than Larry Sanders, as the British series was kind of the Larry Sanders of politics.

    idigress, I want to withhold judgment until I've seen all the episodes I've been sent. But rest assured that Jonathan Rhys-Meyers did not put on 200 lbs. for the role.

    James,

    You mean Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is playing Henry VIII? Ooooo! This makes me wish I weren't so cheap and could afford HBO!
