Tonight on the tube: New Futurama and the Sox force Game 7

Comedy Central

Comedy Central

5:00p/4:00 Central

  • The New CW Sunday begins early at 5:30p/4:30 Central with Casey Affleck’s excursion to Pawnee-Oklahoma to meet with and learn about the Native Americans who make this their home in a new 4Real.

7:00p/6:00 Central

  • Then, In Harm’s Way takes a look at the dangerous profession of war photographer. Alternately, NBC kicks off their night of football with Football Night in America, while ABC offers up a fresh America’s Funniest Home Videos. Is there anything we haven’t seen yet ever on this show?
  • CBS’s 60 Minutes offers up stories of bullfighting brothers in Spain, warfare in Afghanistan, and the multi-billion dollar bank bailout in the US.

8:00p/7:00 Central

  • At 8:15p/7:15 Central, that game finally gets started on NBC with the Seahawks at the Bucs on Sunday Night Football.
  • So is anybody watching The CW on Sundays? The night was leased out to an independent contractor, and now they’ve put production on hold for their scripted series on the night, including Valentine. Tonight, the gods help a movie star and theater owner find love.
  • Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies are kicking back at home and hoping for an extra inning affair as the decisive ALCS Game 7 kicks off tonight. The Red Sox are trying to fight their way back into another World Series while the Rays strive to get into their first ever.
  • Relationship struggles and physical injuries mar this leg of CBS’s The Amazing Race. A home-based daycare center is in serious trouble, as are the kids who live there, when Ty and ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition tackle a house with a crippling mold problem.
  • Comedy Central airs the second feature film in the Futurama movie series. Futurama: Beast With a Billion Backs is two hours of futuristic fantastical-ness (yes, that’s a word because I say it is)! Awkwardly, Matt Groening’s other little series, The Simpsons, is also all-new at this time on FOX. In tonight’s episode, Bart switches place with a rich kid who looks just like him … and shenanigans ensue. This followed by a King of the Hill in which Hank protests the building of a new mansion in Arlen.

9:00p/8:00 Central

  • The bratty women choice continues as you can decide between WE’s Bridezillas or the lovely ladies of VH1’s Rock of Love Girls: Charm School. At least the latter group of ladies are learning some decorum.
  • Bobette has to bare more than she wants about son Morgan on a new Easy Money over on The CW.  You know, another one of those shows that no one’s watching apparently. But it’s on against some powerhouse competition.
  • For example, millions are going to tune into ABC to watch the women get jealous of Bree’s burgeoning success on Desperate Housewives. And millions more will be on FOX as Mort, Brian and Stewie find themselves in Nazi-era Poland. That one’s followed by Stan becoming his boss’ go-to-guy on American Dad.
  • An old roller skating case gets re-opened on CBS’s Cold Case. Or, for real police work, check out The Biography Channel’s Watching the Detectives.
  • On the pay channels, you’ve got a choice between a new Dexter or True Blood. While Dexter is trying to convince Rita that he’s serious about his marriage proposal on the former, the latter features redneck vigilante justice on vampires, demon exorcisms, and painful revelations about Sookie’s childhood.

10:00p/9:00 Central

  • Lifetime offers up a new Army Wives while The Biography Channel looks at the women in law enforcement on Female Forces.
  • Alternately, VH1 is throwing out a new The Pick-Up Artist, while E!’s The Girls Next Door are prepping to move out of the mansion in real life. Maybe the boys of Artist will learn enough moves to pick up Kendra. If they can stand her laugh.
  • Helpful tip from CBS’s The Unit: don’t pretend you can turn cocaine into paint or you might wake up a hostage. Showtime’s tips are much easier. Don’t do anything Hank Moody ever does on any episode of Californication.
  • Former inmate and now top Chef Jeff Henderson tries to help others transform their lives on a new The Chef Jeff Project on The Food Network. From inmates to crazies, The Discovery Channel’s Storm Chasers is back as the team continues to try and get inside a tornado. Sure, there’s tons you can learn from that vantage point, but I thought Dorothy made those dangers pretty clear.
  • While Holly begins her own search for William Walker’s other son, Ryan, Kitty stages a garage sale to try and rid her house of all the memories of William’s presence on a new Brothers & Sisters on ABC.
  • But if funny is more your recipe tonight, HBO’s comedy block begins with a new Entourage, followed by the fourth installment of sketch comedy Little Britain USA.

11:00p/10:00 Central

  • Then stick with HBO for the animated comedy The Life & Times of Tim. If you liked Dr. Katz, you should give Tim a try. If you’ve never heard of Katz, then I’m ashamed of you but you still might like Tim.
