A Hit of TV: Fall TV Preview, Day 10/11/12 - Sunday Shows

Basically, I am combining this weekend's posts into one big post because I am lazy, but here you go nonetheless, here are three weekend shows that should be pretty good this fall.

First up is the newest season of the Amazing Race, which premieres Sunday, September 26th @ 8:30pm. I always like the Amazing Race, so this season should be no different. There are a couple teams of note, including what I've read are a pair of "YouTube sensations" (never seen their videos), a pair of hot doctor girlfriends with rhyming names (Nat and Kat) and self-proclaimed scary looking people who think their tattoos will give them an advantage (unless your tattoos can book your plane tickets and translate other languages for you, calm down because it's not like people have seen tattoos before). Here's a peek at the teams:


Also, take a look at this clip from the coming season. It looks hilarious:


Also returning that same Sunday at 10pm on CBS is Undercover Boss, which became a guilty pleasure of mine last season. Basically, the show is about an executive within a large company (like 1-800-flowers.com or Hooters) who goes "undercover" and finds out how the "little guys" are doing at their jobs. It can be pretty entertaining, but sometimes a bit of a letdown. The Hooters episode promised some good retaliation on behalf of the CEO when he found out one of his chain managers was a misogynistic, exploiting a-hole, but when the CEO confronted said a-hole, it was rather lackluster and he wasn't he fired on the spot!!! Aye scamoles, man! Anyhow, it should be a good, mindless hour of TV.

Finally, I am going to stick with CBS Sunday nights and remind everyone that their favorite news program hosted by a geriatric panel is back. That's right, 60 Minutes will return this fall on Sundays at 7pm (or following the NFL game of the week). Expect more hi-jinks from your favorite grumpy, nonsensical grandfather Andy Rooney as gives his take on various things in pop culture, politics, or whatever else might be on his mind. I actually really enjoy 60 Minutes, so don't get me wrong here. I just think it's a funny combination of people hosting the program. Program....that sounds like a word one of the panel might use...it's very antiquated... Anyhow, CBS has a good Sunday night coming up.

I said good day, sir!
