Road to the White House
Tuesday, February 5th, all evening, CNN
In past years it was called “Super Tuesday,” but this year it’s been upgraded to “Super-Duper Tuesday” since 24 states will be voting. By the end of the night, it should be pretty clear which two candidates will be battling it out for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in November.
Lipstick Jungle
Series Premiere, Thursday, February 7th at 10pm, NBC
This may just be the show to wean you off those obnoxiously-edited Sex and the City reruns on TBS. Plus, Brooke Shields.
Dexter
Sundays, 10pm, CBS
If you missed the first season of this show, about a cop who happens to be a serial killer (but only of bad guys), and have been annoyed because your friends won’t stop talking about it, you are in luck. CBS will be rebroadcasting season 1 this month.
Bernard and Doris
Saturday, February 9 at 8pm, HBO
Susan Sarandon plays the Paris Hilton of the ‘80s—tobacco heiress Dorris Duke. Ralph Fiennes plays her butler, who goes on to take control of her fortune. The made-for-HBO movie focuses on what happens in the interceding few years.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Mondays, 9pm, Fox
The movies focused on John, but the show is all about Sarah, with Lena Headey playing the character that made Linda Hamilton a star.
The Oscars
Sunday, February 24 at 8pm, ABC
Care to place a bet on whether it’s happening this year?
Paradise Hotel 2
Season Premiere, Monday, February 4th at 1am, Fox Reality Channel
Yes, the writer’s strike has brought us to this. It’s like musical chairs for singles,
only the “chairs” are actually trashy hotel rooms. The PG rated version airs on
MyNetworkTV at 9pm, but hold out for the MA cut on Fox Reality at 1am.
Nashville
Friday, February 15 at 2am, Turner Classic Movies
Robert Altman’s classic about country music hopefuls somehow
manages to say a lot about our current celeb-obsessed culture.
Last Restaurant Standing
Series Premiere, Tuesday, February 12th at 8pm, BBC America
This new one takes nine couples and challenges them to open up a
restaurant at warp speed—seven days. The result is as entertaining as Top Chef.
Breast Cancer Diaries
Saturday, February 23rd at 3pm, the Documentary Channel
It’s a terrifying statistic, but 1 in 7 women will get breast cancer. This is a
look inside a handful of their lives, by former ABC and CNN correspondent Linda Pattilo.
The Millionaire Matchmaker
Tuesdays at 1pm, Bravo
Like the Real Housewives of Orange County meets Blind Date.
