What a month
Battlestar
Galactica premiere.
Doctor
Who premiere.
Sarah Jane
Adventures premiere.
Torchwood
finale.
NUMB3RS
resumed.
Bones
and
House
resuming.I think this is what
they call "spoiled for
choice."It's been a long, hard
winter on telly, due to the writer's strike (which don't get me wrong, was
totally necessary) and various other things. But now things are cranking up,
and I'm beyond overjoyed.On
American television in the month of
April:
BSG premiered last Friday.
You can see the episode by following the linky over to SciFi.com. The fan-wank
over the final Cylon is at epic
proportions.That's also where
Doctor
Who season
4
will start with the Christmas Special
on April 18 and the first real episode a week later, and the
Sarah Jane
Adventures start on April
11. (That's this Friday!) This is the earliest time after the British premiere
that the U.S. has viewed
DW,
just barely more than the gap between the Brit and Yank showings of
TW.
With any luck, next year they'll acknowledge the futility of any time gap (given
the Internet) between showings in the two countries and we'll get
TW
and the
DW
bank-hols specials the same weekend, if not day, as the
U.K.Anyone who wants to
re-watch the end of Doctor
Who season
3
or see the final episodes of this
year's Torchwood
should hie themselves over to
BBC-America. This Saturday (April 12) they'll show the first two of the
three-part
DW
season ending, followed by the penultimate two episodes of
TW.
The fun starts at 6 pm EDT / 5 pm CDT. If I'm reading the website correctly,
there should be a way for you to watch those episodes right there, at least the
DW
eps.
Warning:
anyone who has seen the British versions of
DW
and
TW
but has not experienced the cuts made to squeeze in the amount of commercial
time necessary for the American market may be quite disappointed. Looking
forward to seeing John Simm rock out maniacally to Scissor Sisters again? Ain't
happenin'. Buy the
DVDs.NUMB3RS
started showing new episodes again last Friday. (Yes, conflicting with
BSG.
Let's hear it for both being available on their respective channels'
websites.)Bones
starts with new episodes on Monday, April 14. 'Bout bloody time. We haven't
had a new episode since the "Christmas" ep in
mid-freakin-November.House
moves to Monday nights starting April 21, and will start showing new episodes a
week later.This is
great.
