It’s September and that means that the new fall schedules are upon us. They seem to be starting slightly later year on year as most of the companies seem to be shying away from pulling all of their aces out of their sleeves at once, so the big fanfare greeting this arguably the most important season in the schedules seems to be gradually receding, none the less there is still plenty of good new stuff to entertain us. Including these two returning favorites:-

September 20th sees the quicker than usual return of this re-make of the classic British comedy, only a few months after its’ first run. Though it is in some aspects a Steve Carell, fresh from his summer smash “The 40 year old virgin”, starring vehicle, it is in essence a true ensemble piece, as Carell’s Michael Scott is helped or should that be hindered in running Dunder Miffin’s stationers by the usual cast of hopeless individuals once again. The usual hapless japes abound as Scott in his own inimitable way attempts to keep the company on an even keel and just occasionally very occasionally he succeeds!! If nothing else it assures Scranton Pennsylvania TV immortality!!

As you’ll know by now this isn’t an insult!!! But the return for a second run of the popular weight loss show. Top comedienne Caroline Rhea once again introduces us to the 14 hopefuls as host and guides us weekly through their many trials and tribulations as they battle to lose weight. The only thing they’ll want to be gaining is the $250 000 first prize!! Thus guaranteeing that the winner will not stay a “big loser” for long!!

The critics of this and other reality type shows will no doubt be willing to line-up to knock “The Biggest Loser”, whilst overlooking the positive impact a show such as this can have on not only the 14 contestants but the millions of us watching at home. All the exercises and diets featured are safe and approved by the many experts and consultants that are on the show. Plus there are many nutritional and healthy living tips for us to digest. Thus proving that by watching “The Biggest Loser” we all end up “Big Winners”!!
