We’ve already seen new shows start and new seasons debut on channels like FX and the CW, but this week the broadcast networks roll out a ton of premieres. Enjoy the first of this week’s plus-sized listings.
The Playboy Club (NBC) — Series premiere. The terrible tag line makes me laugh. “Don’t let the fluffy tails fool you.” What’s there to be fooled by? “Viewers, please be advised: despite the ears and fluffy tails, the animals on screen are not rabbits but actually WOMEN IN BUNNY COSTUMES. Please do not assume this is a show about woodland creatures.” (Also on NBC tonight: The Sing-Off.)
2 Broke Girls (CBS) — Series premiere. I’m turned off by the premise and the way CBS always make New York City look like Los Angeles sets, but I’m turned on by Kat Dennings. I’ll give it a try.
Hawaii Five-0 (CBS) — Season premiere. Terry O’Quinn joins the cast as a SEAL officer who wears woodland camouflage that the Navy stopped wearing like six years ago (here’s the current edition). Wouldn’t it be cool if Navy SEALs could turn into the Smoke Monster? We would have wrecked bin Laden’s compound WAY sooner.
How I Met Your Mother (CBS) — Season premiere. The excellent cast and Josh Radnor begin their seventh season begins with back-to-back episodes.
Two and a Half Men (CBS) — Season premiere. Handsome hobo Ashton Kutcher replaces Hollywood’s most infamous F-18.
Dancing with the Stars (ABC) — Season premiere. Hope Solo and Elisabatta Canalis good; Nancy Grace and Chaz Bono bad. Full roster of dancers here.
Castle (ABC) — Season premiere. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IS BECKET GOING TO LIVE? Yes, of course she is.
Hell’s Kitchen (Fox) — Season premiere. This is the one where Gordon Ramsay yells at people. It is somehow different than the other two reality shows with Gordon Ramsay yelling at people.
Roast of Charlie Sheen (Comedy Central) — I know I complain a lot about how Comedy Central changed roasts from being an honor to making fun of celebrity door mats, but at the end of the day, this is a night of jokes about drugs and hookers. That’s just good programming. (P.S. Check out Burnsy’s feature on the best Comedy Central roast jokes OF ALL TIME.)

2 Broke Girls/Kat Dennings tits. Yes. I would watch that show without sound. Nay, I will probably watch that show without sound.
Ah, I love how we agree about HIMYM’s cast…and Josh Radnor’s unusual inclusion within it.
So, will this Playboy show delve into the life of Lane Pryce’s jumpoff?
Again, the premise of this show is that a girl who looks like Kat Dennings can’t find a rich guy to slavishly support her?
Kat Dennings has huge tits and the blonde chick (Beth Behrs) has a somewhat big nose. But she is still pretty much a knockout.
Spot on, Matt.
I enjoy watching Castle, but it was really annoying when they shot Beckett. We all know she’s going to live so why do they need to create unrealistic drama.
The only way the writers can redeem themselves is if we get to see someone rip her shirt off before performing CPR.
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IS BECKET GOING TO LIVE? Yes, of course she is.
Come on, man. Spoiler alert.
No love for Josh Radnor? Did you try watching Mad Love, where they had Jason Biggs as the poor man’s Radnor? Made the original look better
Have you been to BUD/s or any of the teams lately out in Coronado? They still wear them you idiot. SPECWAR wears woodlands, NWUs are worn by the fleet.
