Whats Hot On TV

Who would have thought Cloris Leachman at 82 years old would become water cooler talk? Nevertheless her outrageous antics on Dancing With the Stars have put her there. I don’t think she’ll be leaving the show anytime soon, as I’m sure many people are voting for her for just the plain entertainment value. I expect even more people will tune in to see her tonight, as some that would normally not watch the show will just turn it on to see her.

1. Early Show. Jewel and Bill Maher are the guests. I saw Maher in concert this summer, and you can bet he has a lot of thngs to say about the current political climate, and this was before we had even heard of Sarah Palin. 7:00 AM CT CBS

2. Today Show. Jenny McCarthy and Jennifer Hudson. McCarthy was on Oprah last week with boyfriend Jim Carrey, promoting a book on parenting her child with autism, and she is just an amazing person. She is much differnet than the girl we saw on MTV a decade ago, or at least she seems so. 7:00 AM CT NBC

3. The View. Jennifer Hudson is making another appearance here, as well as Disney’s Selena Gomez and one-time View cohost Lisa Ling. Ling is promoting a report on heroin in the midwest that will be on Nightline tonight. 10:00 AM CT ABC

4. Weekend at Bernie’s. I don’t know what it is about this movie. It’s incredibly silly, but I guess sometimes in life you just need “silly.” The dead guy’s head hitting the buoy over and over never fails to amuse me. 2:30 PM CT HBO Comedy

5. The Ellen deGeneres Show. Lance Bass and his professional dancing partner, Lacey Schwimmer, from Dancing With the Stars are on, and I hope Ellen gets to the bottom of this. I want to know why DWTS doesn’t mention that Lacey was a finalist on So You Think You Can Dance. Syndicated, check local listings.

6. The Big Bang Theory. Leonard gets jealous about Penny’s new guy and takes up with Leslie in a rebound thing. 7:00 PM CT CBS

7. Chuck. One of the few season openers tonight that pits Chuck against Michael Duncan Clarke in a guest role. He figures his spy gig is over and asks Sarah out. 7:00 PM CT NBC

8. Dancing With the Stars. Ted McGinley left surprisingly early last week, and Jeffrey Ross not so surprisingly. One thing’s for sure tonight, Cloris Leachman will be a hoot once again, and probalby isn’t going anywhere. 7:00 PM CT ABC

9. Gossip Girl. Elena gives Serena and her new friend, Poppy, seats to Fashion Week, and Blair isn’t too happy about it. 7:00 PM CT CW

10. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Cameron loses her memory after a software glitch and ends up in a halfway house. 7:00 PM CT Fox
