Whats Hot On TV

This Tuesday is an odd day for TV, just because it feels like we’re trying to get caught up. With some shows just premiering, but old and new, and some in their infancy, starting just a few weeks ago, they took a week off last week for the Presidential Debate. It makes you wonder if they’ll lose viewers that haven’t invested enough in them to wait and search for them.

1. Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. As a martial artist, this is extremely interesting to me, and even appealed to me before I even thought about getting into martial arts. Bruce Lee is more ore less the be all end all of martial arts, yet for some reason I’ve never seen this. Consider it ready to be DVRed. 10:40 AM CT Encore 2

2. The Bonnie Hunt Show. Guests include Simon Baker from The Mentalist, JoAnna Garcia, Mark and Bill, the most recently eliminated from The Amazing Race, and Sea World animals. Well, they can’t have animals that need water on here, so it kind of limits the sea animals they can have, doesn’t it? Syndicated, check local listings.
