It’s an unusually busy Sunday night on TV tonight. New episodes of familiar shows, season premieres, and one new series. I’m really curious: How will you be spending your TV time tonight?
For me, the big event is the return of Breaking Bad, which has a third-season opener full of menace, humor, and excitement, as Bryan Cranston’s Walt and Aaron Paul’s Jesse face fresh stress and the aroma of meth-to-be-made. Woo-hoo!
Not that I want to influence your vote or anything. Perhaps you’re more intrigued by the current cast of Celebrity Apprentice, with Donald Trump’s rug vying for attention with the hair explosion that is Cyndi Lauper?
Will you be watching Undercover Boss, with “the CEO of an online shipping giant” going undercover to find this week’s “unsung heroes” — i.e., the people who actually do the physical work, as opposed to the boss?:
Or are you hooked on this season’s Desperate Housewives? I must admit I abandoned that ship near the start of this season. Much as I was enjoying Dana Delany and Eva Longoria Parker’s performances, the mis-use of Felicity Huffman and general repetitiousness have turned me off.
But maybe you’ll be watching ABC after the housewives, when Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution premieres. As I say in the current issue of EW, this is one of the better, more real-seeming reality shows in a while. It’s worth it just to see Brit chef Oliver meet stiff resistence from a town that’s considered the “most unhealthy place in America.”
Or, as I suggested yesterday, perhaps The Discovery Channel’s Life?
So I ask: What will you be watching tonight? Vote and comment below. Thanks.

Life on The Discovery Channel
That will be a great watch! Nothing does it like Discovery HD.
I would if I had cable, but I will stick to Dancing til Dawn – a great made for TV movie from 1988 starring Alyssa Milano, Tracey Gold, Christina Applegate – I have been looking for it everywhere and finally got it on dvd!
Definitely Life! My kids are excited, because their Spring Break starts tomorrow, and I’m letting them stay up for it.
The Amazing Race. Brothers & Sisters.
I’d like to watch Life and Breaking Bad, but I don’t have cable so I’ll watch The Simpsons instead.
Desperate Housewives def!!! it’s on fire these days. Then I may tune into the 1 1/2 marathon of The Simpsons on the local channel here

The Pacific on HBO, which you’ve largely ignored?
Huh? I reviewed the first episode, and will review tonight’s…
I’m all in for The Pacific and Breaking Bad.
What’s that got to do with anything? You reviewed Breaking Bad as well, but still included it in the list above.
Testy, testy, guys, lets take a time out, no? Ken also left off the video for Life, but you don’t see anyone complaining. I suggest TV Guide if you need a programming list.
I found the absence of The Pacific on this list of must-see Sunday night TV quite conspicuous as well, suzq. Especially considering that Tucker omitted it for the likes of Donald Trump’s hairpiece and some Z-list limey chef.
Ever since we dropped HBO from our TV package, theres nothing on Sunday nights anymore. Sob.
Breaking Bad all the way. and btw, Donald Trump is an creep who should not have a show.
I second that!
The Simpsons, The Amazing Race and Life
Breaking Bad & The Pacific
Desperate Housewives as long as the Katherine/Robin story is on-going. That’s what brought me back.
I hate “reality” TV.
The Amazing Race
The Pacific
Brothers and Sisters
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on ABC Family, 8pm.
the pacific and “Life” (although I wish it was the cancelled NBC series returning!)
Hah! I agree…
Me too!!!
Sons Of Tucson
The Amazing Race
Undercover Boss
