Nashville (ABC, 10 pm) — The series premiere of Nashville airs tonight, and while the idea of a veteran country singer (Connie Britton) competing with a young upstart (Hayden Panettiere) might not sound terribly intriguing, anyone who loves Connie Britton from her Friday Night Lights and even American Horror Story days will likely at least give it a shot. If reviews are any indication, it’s a shot worth taking.
Modern Family (ABC, 9 p.m.) — To help launch Nashville, ABC is airing two episodes of Modern Family tonight, which means one more week without Suburgatory. It also means that, come April, Modern Family is going to be nothing be reruns.
Chicago Fire (NBC, 10 p.m.) — Dick Wolf is trying to adapt his police procedural to a fire department because ORIGINAL. I haven’t been able to muster the energy to watch the screener, but reviews have been somewhere between terrible and watchable, if you squint. I give the pilot 9 minutes before a child is rescued from a burning house.
Arrow (CW, 8 p.m.) — It’s a superhero show, so I’m going to at least give it a shot, and I won’t be alone, as our friends over on GammaSquad will also be tuning in.
Animal Practice/Guys with Kids (NBC, 8 p.m.) — Enjoy it while you can, folks, because while neither show is likely to be the second to be canceled, one of them will surely be one of the first five to go. Look for Whitney in one of these slots by November.
LATE NIGHT LISTINGS: RON SWANSON IS ON LETTERMAN. GO TO THERE. Tyler Perry will be on Leno, Will Arnett is on Kimmel trying to save Up All Night from imminent cancellation, Nikki Reed is on Ferguson, Tina Fey will pal around with Fallon, and Magic Johnson is on The Daily Show.

I still haven’t forgiven the CW for cancelling Veronica Mars, but I’ll give Arrow a shot. I can’t believe I still don’t have the channel in high def.
i have not watched a single minute of any CW show since Veronica Mars got cancelled…. not that it’s been remotely hard.
Keep meaning to post this because I love you all.

How do I send you money? I want to give you money.
That counts as two miracles right? Martin for sainthood.
You sir, are the new Matt.
Bless you sir! BLESS YOU!
*Bicycle bell rings ala Jimmy Volmer*
still though, there should be a law against strippers doing routines in movies and not getting naked. At least Demi Moore, Marisa Tomei and Jessica Biel know whats up (My penis)
Preaching to the choir.
Remember. I hate Jessica Jane Clement because she got implants and immediately stopped flashing her new dyke titties like a bitch.
Animal Practice would be much better with the Seth McFarlane as Lochte title Monkey Doctor.
I want to watch for the Connie Britton, but I can’t because of the f’n cheerleader.
What if I love Connie Britton from her days on Spin CIty
and Hayden Panettiere from this interview where she talked about how her a million foot tall boyfriend fits his dick in her tiny self: [blog.zap2it.com]
Then should I watch Nashville?
Panettiere’s got some serious Photoshop going on there.
The whole thing looks strangely ‘Shopped, like their top halves are too big for their bottom halves.
I was gonna say, where did Hayden Panettiere get the boobs from?
Breasts. By Adobe.
Rumors are she got implants.
Maybe, but I doubt it. The photos I’ve seen just show a good pushup bra and clever photographic tricks, and a shitload of Photoshop time spent fixing the editorials.
Forgot the link. [www.imagebam.com]
The candid bikini pictures of her a while back showed the characteristic “gap” between her breasts that seems to happen with implants.
Until it’s confirmed, though, I’m just speculating.
No love for South Park??? I thought we raised the bar.
South Park doesn’t need love. South Park left the house a long time ago and is doing well on its own. It doesn’t need us anymore, young CABC.
Warming Glow doesn’t do what Warming Glow does for Warming Glow. Warming Glow does what Warming Glow does because Warming Glow is Warming Glow.
Also you don’t want to jinx it. South Park’s been good lately and it hasn’t been mentioned so no jinxing.
Does Chicago have more fires per capita than other major American cities?
It must because Jacksonville Fire just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
I wanna know if the Aussie guy from House is gonna be an Aussie Chicago firefighter.
No, from the commercials (I don’t DVR sports, don’t judge me for seeing commercials) he appears to have dropped the accent, which is weird. It’s like someone you knew for years went and lived somewhere else and you saw them years later with a completely different accent and it’s like a different persons voice.
I’m still pissed about The Chicago Code being canceled. My hometown doesn’t get enough love in TV land.
Arrow looks idiotic, because in the real world, someone wearing a loose-fitting hood like that would be dead about thirty seconds into his first fight with multiple opponents because one of them would probably be smart enough to take advantage of the fact that he’s got literally zero peripheral vision in that thing.
But it gives me the opportunity to picture Edna Mode saying “No Hoods!” so there’s that at least.
Also, “Chicago Fire” would be a great name for hot sauce, or for an STD that originated in Chicago.
I can only begin to imagine how annoying Hayden Panettiere is going to be in this show. It might set a record.
Chicago Fire shows what happens when emergency personnel look like underwear models. Can’t wait for the inevitable calendar episode.
Thanks for the love. Can’t reply to my comment directly for some reason.
Oh, if I was the new Matt I would have the good sense to contribute professionally.
I know she’s only like 4 feet tall but the cheerleader got chicken legs.
Just from the knees down. [img210.imagevenue.com]
The commercials I’ve seen for Chicago Fire have the characters saying the corniest shit in just a 60 second ad. I’m sure it’ll be horrible and that means it’ll be on for 7 seasons.
“Go home Chief”
“I am home”
DAMN. Connie Britton’s TITS all DAY
