Carbon Footprint

Hosted by Al Gore, this enlightening weekly documentary describes 1001 ways that humans are killing the environment.  Carbon Footprint includes dramatic reenactments of ordinary people as they knowingly and unknowingly destroy the environment, and dramatic enactments of the effect on plant and animal life throughout the globe.

Puppy Love

Elliot Houseman (Zach Braff) is a shy bachelor making a go of it on his own in New York City.  Elliot works in a cubicle and lives in an apartment building that doesn’t allow pets.  But that doesn’t stop him from adopting one cute little Labrador puppy!  Between hiding his pet from the other residents and concentrating on working with a giant crush on his coworker Belle (Amy Smart), Elliot finds himself in hilarious situations week after week.

I’m Still Standing

As a writer on a sitcom based in New York City named “Blues Mothers” about a writer on a sitcom based on Elton John’s life and named “Pink Sunglasses”, Dex Moser incorporates moments from his own life into his work.  Critics love “Pink Sunglasses” and have called it “one of the greatest twice-embedded sitcoms ever written.”

She Said Yes!

Chelsea Handler, Laura Prepon and Taylor Swift anchor this spinoff of last year’s hit “Are You There, Chelsea?”  Peyton Mackenzie is a gal living on her own in New York City with a job at Macy’s, a budding Broadway career, a fiancé named Dakota, and an apartment across the hall from two attention-hogging sisters.  Follow Peyton as she struggles to become a relevant Broadway player and tries to convince Dakota to move up the wedding date.

Benny

This daring and groundbreaking new comedy shows the world from four-year-old Benny Tompkins’ point of view.  In a world that appears so big, Benny is just trying to learn the basics and make sense of what is going on around him in New York City.  Nominated for a pre-Emmy for camera work and scenes involving overheard grown-up discussions, this series is sure to put a smile on your face.

Blank Slate

John Blank never knew his father, and his mother abandoned him at an early age when she couldn’t handle the memory of the rape that conceived him.  Now John lives alone in a dark corner of New York City investigating rapes that have gone unreported or unsolved by the police.  Without knowing who their vigilante is, the victims are avenged as John Blank serves as judge, jury and possibly executioner in the faces of rapists and other monsters on the mean streets.

Dateline NBC: Exclusively Wife-Killing Husbands

Same show as regular Dateline seen on Fridays, but with a more accurate title.

Ad and Multiply

The second of NBC’s three new documentary series is presented with limited commercial interruption.  Narrated by Jack Black, this series features the most popular television and radio ads from the previous week.  On this family-friendly show you can see a weekly Top Ten countdown of the most paid for commercials.  Will your favorite commercial make it to number one?  Tune in and see!

Children of the Corn-Fed

This series documents the epidemic of obesity among the children of the Baby Boom generation.  Based in the Mid-West, see how the Baby Boomer’s active and honest lifestyles filled with manual labor such as farming and factory work led to prosperity, only to also lead to a scourge of overweight and spoiled children.  Hosted by your grandpa, hear about why this country is failing and how everyone got so “G** damn fat,” with special mentions of those “[redacted] sons of b*tches who moved into town last year.”

DSI: Miami

David Caruso stars as former homicide detective Umberto Venezuela, who leads a crack team of investigators (Death Scene Investigators) and forensic experts in solving crimes on the streets of steamy Miami. Together they scrutinize the evidence to bring heinous criminals to justice.

It’s Not Pronounced ‘Bowling Ball’

Stephanie Duckling is a housewife on a mission.  Her goal?  Getting by.  Living with her husband Alan (Mark Wahlberg), her two-year old daughter and her infant twin daughters, Stephanie (played by newcomer Stephan Bowlinball) juggles a demanding job, a suspect daycare, exploding diapers and extended family (with guest appearances by Ellen DeGeneres as Stephanie’s mother-in-law and Kate Upton as Alan’s ex-wife).  Enjoy a colorful portrayal of life outside the suburbs in this family drama featuring musical numbers and celebrity cameos.
