20E Friday, March 5, 2010 The Daytona Beach News-Journal GO 386: ENTERTAINMENT Welcome back, regular TV shows N ow that the Olympics are over, it’s time to welcome back your regularly scheduled programming. March marks the beginning of the spring TV season where many of the shows that took a little winter hibernation come out of their caves and join the rest of us. Not sure when your favorite is back on the air? Here’s a little Fanboy checklist. ABC Don’t miss: I finally had a chance to catch up with the network’s reboot of ‘‘V’’ and I gotta say, I kind of like it. I remember the original series when I was a kid and I’ll admit, it’s the first TV show that actually scared the pants off of me. I went to bed many nights waiting for my parents to tear off their faces, revealing lizard-like aliens who eat small animals. And while I don’t think the new series is quite up to the standard of the original just yet, it has promise. Throw in ‘‘Lost’s’’ Elizabeth Mitchell and I’m all in. ‘‘V’’ is back March 30. Premiering: British chef Jamie Oliver brings his ‘‘Food Revolution’’ to your TV set March 26. Also back: ‘‘FlashForward,’’ March 18; ‘‘Dancing With the Stars,’’ March 22 CBS Don’t miss: Aside from the Jenna Elfman comedy ‘‘Accidentally on Purpose’’ moving to Wednesdays starting March 31, the only thing happening at CBS is the premiere of ‘‘Miami Medical’’ on April 2. The show features ‘‘The Tudors’’ star Jeremy Northam and others as ‘‘adrenaline-fueled surgeons trying to keep up the pace at a major metropolitan hospital.’’ Add this to the list of CBS shows I have absolutely no interest in. NBC Don’t miss: Say what you want, but I love game shows. So you can be sure that when NBC debuts ‘‘Minute To Win It’’ on March 14, I’ll be in front of the telly. The show features contestants trying a variety of time-limited stunts for prizes up to a million dollars. And it’s hosted by the Food Network’s Guy Fieri, which may deter some of you who consider Fieri a very large tool. (I don’t.) Also back: ‘‘Trauma,’’ March 8; ‘‘Celebrity Apprentice,’’ March 14 FOX Don’t miss: Anyone who reads this column knows I am a huge J.J. Abrams nerd. So it should come to know surprise that I find Fox’s ‘‘Fringe’’ to be one of the best series on TV. On top of intriguing story lines, all based in real science, the best part about ‘‘Fringe’’ is its stellar acting. Special kudos go out to John Noble who plays the quirky, yet brilliant Dr. Walter Bishop. ‘‘Fringe’’ returns April 1. Premiering: ‘‘Ultimate Recipe Showdown,’’ March 14; ‘‘Sons of Tucson,’’ March 14 Also back: ‘‘Glee,’’ April 13 Side note: Fans of ‘‘Lie To Me,’’ word is that the return of the show is contingent on how soon a new series is canceled. Not good news. Here are some other notable premieres: ‘‘Gossip Girl,’’ March 8 on The CW ‘‘Food Wars,’’ March 9 on the Travel Channel ‘‘America’s Next Top Model,’’ March 10 on The CW ‘‘Sober House,’’ March 11 on VH1 ‘‘America’s Worst Driver,’’ March 14 on the Travel Channel ‘‘The Pacific’’ March 14 on HBO ‘‘Justified,’’ March 16 on FX ‘‘South Park,’’ March 17 on Comedy Central ‘‘Breaking Bad,’’ March 21 on AMC ‘‘Nurse Jackie,’’ March 22 on Showtime ‘‘United States of Tara,’’ March 22 on Showtime ‘‘Saving Grace, March 29 on TNT ‘‘Law & Order: Criminal Intent,’’ March 30 on USA ‘‘In Plain Sight,’’ March 31 on USA ‘‘The Tudors,’’ April 11 on Showtime Check out go386.com/fanboy for the full list.
