Sunday Nights are New on the CW

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

This Sunday, October 5, 2008, the CW has a whole new line up of shows. At 5 pm ET 4Real, at 6:00 pm ET In Harm’s Way, at 8:00 pm Valentine, and at 9:00 pm Easy Money.

4Real is a reality show in which celebrities are taken around the world on adventures by host, Sol Guy, to meet with young leaders who are making a change in their communities. In the first ep, Cameron Diaz visits a 27-year old medicine man and tribal leader in Peru. The point appears to be showing young people that they can make a difference. Other season 1 guest celebrities include Mos Def, Joaquin Phoenix, Eva Mendes, Casey Affleck and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

In Harm’s Way is another reality show with host Hunter Ellis about people with high risk jobs. The first episode is about US Coast Guard rescue units in Alaska.

Easy Money

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

I’ve seen the new show Easy Money described as simply a drama, but elsewhere as a dramedy, which hopefully means it just won’t take itself too seriously. I’m not sure how it can be too serious, considering the cast includes Laurie Metcalf, Roseanne alumn, as the martriach in a family of loan sharks.

The premise of Easy Money reminds me a little of Arrested Development, where one family member has to take over running the family business, in a family full of eccentrics. In this case, Morgan Buffkin (played by Jeff Hephner) ends up in charge of Prestige Payday Loans, a successful short-term loan business. Not only does Morgan have doubts about his ability to run the business, and about the business itself, he also has to start dealing with all the craziness of his family members.

About Watching The CW

The CW was born in September 2006, and inherited a mixture of programming from its parents the WB and UPN. The CW has a diverse line up from Monday night comedy to Friday Night Smackdown. In between the laughs and the wrestling are alternate reality or fantasy based shows (Supernatural, Smallville), ones that are fit to bursting with bright young things (Veronica Mars, One Tree Hill) and don't forget all the wannabes trying to make it in reality programming (The Beauty & the Geek, America's Next Top Model, Pussy Cat Dolls). This blog will review, recap, share spoilers and other cool finds related to the CW's programming.
