Screened News

What to Watch: Weekend

The Newsroom! (and Some Other Shows)

1. Comedy Bang! Bang!

10:00pm on Friday, IFC

This week a film student directs a segment with Don Draper, I mean, Jon Hamm and a guy who eats bicycles. I'm not sure which is more appealing out of those two.

2. Community

8:30pm on Friday, NBC

It's a repeat, but what better time to get used to Community being on Friday night.

3. Arachnoquake

9:00pm on Saturday, SyFY

What is an arachnoquake? An earthquake that unleashes killer spiders in New Orleans, of course. It is on of SyFy's hybrid films, so I think we know what to expect…. awful awesomeness!

4. The Newsroom

10:00pm on Sunday, HBO – Series Premiere

Aaron Sorkin's newest show that follows the life of a cable news anchor who has a public meltdown, causing a lot of his staff to quit. Let's hope this is more like The West Wing than Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

5. True Blood

9:00pm on Sunday on HBO

The Authority ponders whether they should take Bill and Eric up on their offer to hunt down Russell Edgington. My vote is yes.

6. Falling Skies

9:00pm on Sunday, TNT

I'm not sure if anyone is watching this post-Alien invasion show? If you are, should I be?

Pumped for The Newsroom.

My Dad and Stepmom love Falling Skies.  They also loved Jack and Jill.  So I assume it sucks.

I wish I had HBO...

Can not wait for Newsroom and Legend of Korra S1 ends on Sat =(

Lurkeroon June 22, 2012 at 6:22 p.m.

I guess they are getting people ready for Community on Fridays...sigh

Also, no Korra? I know its not a regular for this column, but I figured it would get a mention for the finale.

@MrMazz: Yeah, Legend of Korra was awesome. Can't wait for the Season Finale! :'(

Finally! The Newsroom is my most anticipated show of the year, so I really can't wait. DON'T DISAPPOINT ME TV SHOW!!!

Really though, even if it's not as amazing as all of the trailers have been, it's still great to see the still somehow underrated Jeff Daniels get a starring role in a big thing like this.

Falling Skies is a great show. Completely forgot it existed until last week though, because the time between s1 and s2 was so long. heh

obscurefanon June 22, 2012 at 9:31 p.m.

Aaron Sorkin doing political issues again on HBO? Take all my money now and donate it to this show. Don't know what they'll do with 27 bucks but it can't hurt.

Daemonon June 23, 2012 at 10:34 a.m.

Pumped for Arachnoquake. No wait...minimally prepared for Arachnoquake. I might have to catch the second broadcast of it in the wee hours though as I may be hitting up an American Astronaut/Forbidden Zone double feature tonight.

Dig Deeper into Community

A diverse group of oddball students form a study group at Greendale Community College. Together, they try to survive not just their classes, but an overeager dean, psychotic teachers, high stakes paintball tournaments, and their own personal differences.
