Thank you.

Thank You Jadzia for a job well done!!

One key show you forgot:

Friday Night Lights: Season Premiere (Directv) 10/1/08

thanks.

Another fun show I thought I would mention, but probably doesn't need to be on the list is Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. The season premiere is Tuesday September 9th on The Travel Channel.

Unsolved Mysteries: Season Premiere: 10/13/08 (Spike)

These are all Thursday shows.

Just a quick headsup about Life. Even though it's premiering on a Monday, it will eventually be moving to Friday nights as it's regular timeslot.

Thanks for pulling this together.

Really excited for these! My Mondays are going to be stacked! Thanks for the list!

much thanks, lady.

I'm going to have buy the MyDVR Expander.

Awesome! Thank you for the information

What's the website that hosts the full TV schedule with start dates?

I guess I missed it, FNL is going to be a DirectTV show only?

Thanks for the list, I will start updating my DVR!

First run on DirecTV. NBC has it later.

Survivor premiere date has been pushed back a week to Sept 25th. Updated the list.

Also added a few shows starting this week.

Jeez, how many chances does she get?

Could we sticky this thread?

Wow, my DVRs are going to get a workout on Monday nights.

Thanks for the list, Jadzia!

Newegg has a great deal on the My DVR Expander.

no Top Gear? when is that show coming?

Great job man. Thanks for this.

It's a first ever 2 hour premiere!

Chris
