Ah, fall – leaves change, adorable jackets get taken out of storage and my TiVo officially remembers why it hates me. Yes, it was kept in pretty good shape during the off season thanks to “Weeds,” “The Middleman” and thrice weekly “Big Brother” airings, but nothing could properly prepare my DVR for the return of fall television.
And it all starts tonight, as I discovered, with my first fall TV scheduling conflict. I’ve got the series premiere of “Fringe,” a major episode of “Big Brother” and the second coming of “90210” all at 8 pm tonight. What’s an overstimulated boy to do? Well, for now I am going to skip “Big Brother” since I already know who won the Veto (click here if you want to know too!)
But that only deals with one instance. What about the rest of the schedule? Well, let’s go day-by-day and talk about the biggest time-slot battles and what to do about them!
