Re: *SUMMER 2009* - New & Returning Shows Premiere Dates
Jadzia, do you have the schedule for Diamonds? I have it set to record Sunday, but I don't know when it airs again or how many episodes it is. Any insight?
I'm so glad I looked at this bc I forgot all about Michael & Michael Have Issues. I read about it a long long time ago and it completely slipped my mind. Can't wait.
Thanks for taking the time and making this list (you should make it a sticky).

There were previews for Big Brother 11 during the survivor finale last Sunday. But they didn't give a premiere date yet.

Re: *SUMMER 2009* - New & Returning Shows Premiere Dates
Thanks. I'll make sure not to let it sit on the dvr, just in case it is longer than 2 parts.
All that's been said so far is July. No specific date as of yet. I just looked for info and found that they just contacted the houseguests (to let them know they made the show), so they probably can't say a specific date just in case there are any set backs.

By The Futon Critic Staff (TFC)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- The 11th season of "Big Brother" will premiere Thursday, July 9 at 8:00/7:00c on CBS, network sources confirmed to the site this afternoon.
The series will then continue on Sundays at 8:00/7:00c and Tuesdays at 9:00/8:00c, a slight deviation from last summer's initial schedule of Sundays at 8:00/7:00c, Tuesdays at 9:00/8:00c and Wednesdays at 8:00/7:00c. (Two weeks later, the latter edition moved to Thursdays at 8:00/7:00c in place of "Greatest American Dog.")
Meanwhile, "The Big Bang Theory," "The Mentalist" and "How I Met Your Mother" are set to move to their new fall homes starting next month.
"The Mentalist" will shift to Thursdays at 10:00/9:00c beginning June 4. Repeats will still continue in its old Tuesday, 9:00/8:00c home until "Big Brother" takes over on July 14.
"Big Bang" likewise will jump to Mondays at 9:30/8:30c starting June 8 with "Mother" assuming the 8:00/7:00c slot on June 22. "Rules of Engagement" will fill out the night at 8:30/7:30c.
In addition, "48 Hours Mystery" will expand to twice a week starting June 2 with episodes airing Tuesdays at 10:00/9:00c and Saturdays at 10:00/9:00c.

Any news on the Showtime live footage? I used to keep turn that on while I was on the computer or playing the ps3. Got to hear some good fights and see some crazy people boobies.

I'm pretty sure it gets good ratings and costs next to nothing for ShoToo to put on since they are already filming live 24/7.

ABC bringing back 'Better off Ted'
'Surviving Suburbia' can't survive new time slot
By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER
ABC is bringing back "Better off Ted" for a summer run, while "Surviving Suburbia" couldn't survive its new time slot.
Alphabet still had six episodes of "Ted" left from its midseason run earlier this year; those segs will now air Tuesdays at 9 p.m. starting June 23, behind new reality competish "The Superstars."
The Victor Fresco-produced laffer, from 20th Century Fox TV, then returns in midseason, where it will be paired with "Scrubs." Alphabet ordered 13 more episodes of "Ted" for next season.
As for "Suburbia," show's remaining segs moved to Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. effective this week but the show's new time period bow averaged just a 1.0 rating and 3 share in the demo.
Starting next week, ABC will instead air back-to-back episodes of new animated comedy "The Goode Family" at 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
The Bob Saget starrer "Suburbia" comes from MRC, as does "Goode Family."
Also in the ABC scheduling realm, Alphabet will start airing its remaining original episodes of another recently axed comedy, "Samantha Who," next month. "Samantha" will run Thursdays at 8 p.m. starting June 25, paired at first with ABC's final episodes of "In the Motherhood."
Once the last three episodes of "Motherhood" are run, ABC will pair the "Samantha" originals at 8 with repeats at 8:30.
