Day two of premiere week has come and gone. No matter what genre you are interested in there was something for everyone on the air. NBC's Law and Order SVU aired its season premiere opposite CBS' much anticipated Cane. In truth I watched Cane and recorded L&O SVU. Sex in the City was one of my favorite TV shows so I was interested in seeing Cynthia Nixon's performance. The promo's for the show were chilling and I just wasn't in that frame of mind last night so I chose to record it. I will watch it today when I get home from work…with the lights on.

Cane was great. I will definitely be watching the other episodes, but it was not as good as I had anticipated. I think that some of the characters did not go well together. I think Alex's wife Isabel seemed a little too young to have an 18 year old, (apparently she's still young enough to get pregnant). I also thought they looked a little out of place at the baseball game, looked more like they were dressed for a night out on the town. Overall while I enjoyed the show I thought it was a little slow and they will need to pick up the pace to avoid losing viewers.

Mark Cuban's much anticipated dancing debut also aired last night. As much as we love to hate Mark Cuban he has some moves. If he can behave himself he may make it through a few rounds. FYI, if you haven't seen it, brace yourself he did show off his scar from his recent hip replacement surgery and lets just say it was not in an area I wanted to see. I am a little traumatized.

Tonight look for the premieres of Bionic Woman and Life. While its not my thing I think that the Bionic Woman is very well made and should do well this season.

What shows did you watch last night? Which were your favorites and which were a little disappointing? Do you think the new Bionic Woman will be as good as or better than the first one? Tell us what you think.

I love the NBC Show The Biggest Loser. It's so inspirational. I still can't believe that in one week 62 year old blue team contestant Jerry lost 31 pounds. That's amazing!

At one time or another in our lives we have all tried various diets and we know how hard it is to stick to them, so I commend The Biggest Loser contestants for their weight loss. I have just one problem with the program…the weigh-ins. Every week at the end of the show the contestants weigh in. The women in their sports bras, the men…shirtless. Now my question for you is why is it necessary that they weigh in without their shirts? I do not need to see them in this state to understand that they are losing weight. I get it. I think its humiliating for the contestants, and that it does not add anything to the show. Other diet shows such as Celebrity Fit Club allow their contestants to weigh in with their clothes on, in fact last season a female rapper on the show got on the scale with about five pounds of bling. Is it just me or does this seem wrong to you?

On a similar note, about a year ago I watched an episode of Primetime that talked about the driving motivators to lose weight. One team was given positive reinforcement to lose weight, the other negative reinforcement. The team that received positive reinforcement was given small rewards and praise to get to their weight loss goals, the team receiving negative reinforcement was photographed in their bathing suits/Speedos. If the team receiving negative reinforcement did not reach their weight loss goals their pictures (in bathing suit) would be shown on the big electronic screen at a Major League Baseball game. So who do you think won???...................... The team that received the positive reinforcement. In my humble opinion, by making them remove their shirts, The Biggest Loser is using negative reinforcement to somehow shame them into losing the weight. Every week I would try a little harder just to look a few pounds thinner when the shirt came off. I will continue to watch every week because it’s a good show but is it really necessary to lose the shirts?

Am I just crazy and lacking anything better to think about or is anyone else out there bothered? Tell us what you think.

I was reading Media Week this morning and came across an article that said according to TV Dailies NBC's Bionic Woman and ABC's Cavemen are the highest-rated new network TV programs on this Fall's prime-time schedule in terms of viewer buzz, awareness and intent to watch. This is great news for us at WOAI if the findings turn out to be true. Often times a show has a lot of buzz and a huge cult following such as the Black Donnelly's or Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip but the TV ratings do not support all the buzz.

In my career I have seen many TV pilots that I thought would make excellent on air shows and they flopped and others that I wouldn't spend one moment of my precious time watching that turned out to be hits. And I am not alone, media buyers I know have decided not to buy certain shows because they are certain they will be the first to be cancelled and they end up delivering the biggest ratings of the season.

In the TV Dailies study Cavemen in particular was singled out by several media buyers as potentially the first show to be canceled yet no one really knows how it will all shake out until the shows actually air and viewers make their choices. Last season few media buyers projected NBC's Heroes as a hit, but online buzz predicted that the show would be among the highest rated, and it was. So what shows will stay and what will go? We will have to all wait till the season premiers in September to see which ones make the final cut. While its not my cup of tea I predict that the Bionic Woman will be a big hit. As for the Cavemen, I think initial viewing levels will be high but once the initial curiosity wears off the show will be cancelled. (five episodes…tops)

Which new shows are you looking forward to watching? Are there any that you think will be a big hit? What one show do you have to watch every week?
