Getting My Priorities Straight

Sorry for the late update, you loyal dozens, but The Telegraph believes it's more important I cover the actual news.

Anyway, just a quick note today to report that ABC finally wised up and pushed "Knights of Prosperity" up to 8:30 p.m., thus avoiding direct competition with "American Idol" (Fox, 9 p.m.). Still, it might be too little, too late to boost "Knights'" chances of staying.

I have to admit, I've been underwhelmed with "Knights" considering the amount of hype it got during the TV press tour in the fall. The concept is decent, and so is the execution, but I don't think it compares favorably to NBC's "My Name Is Earl," a somewhat similar themed show of the misadventures of a group of lovable losers. It really doesn't help that "Earl" has had a strong sophomore year to boot.

WEDNESDAY'S BEST BET: Welcome back, Dr. Brennan, you were missed. "Bones" (Fox, 8 p.m.) returns to the air in what should be a relatively cushy slot preceding "AI."

I think Supernatural is more underrated than Bones, since the plots are as interesting as the characters. Bones is a bit more convuluted, but is saved by the chemistry between Bones and Booth, and the Squids.

Thanks for reminding me, Friday Night Lights (NBC, 8 p.m.) is also new and all of you dozens of blog readers are ordered to watch it!

And, too many good choices on TV is much better than the alternative.
