TV Geek Army Field Report: a new year of TV geekery commences

Hope everyone had a very happy new year!

Slight format change, wherein I’ll start off with some quick thoughts:

The Bachelor returns
Should be quite a bit of attention paid to the return of Brad Womack for his second go round at love. But hopefully there will be enough backstabbing/cattiness to hold our attention (that’s what keeps us watching, right?)

Antiques Road Show kicks off its 15th Season on PBS
The show will always hold a place in my heart if only for its brief role in the stoner/lowbrow comedy classic, Grandma’s Boy

CBS comedies
I tend not to be the biggest fan of CBS programming (Survivor is a notable exception), which is why you’ll find many CBS sitcoms locked into the Do We Care? category below. It’s an honest question that I’m looking for a response to: do we care?

My Big Friggin’ Wedding season finale
My favorite turn-off-your-brain-and-enjoy-the-mayhem show of the moment wraps its first season with, well, a big friggin’ wedding or two, Jersey style.

And now, here’s what’s doing with tonight’s TV…
