Wednesday Night Prime Time Just Got Tougher to Choose

I was very excited to hear that on Wednesday there is a new show on ABC from Shonda Rhimes, who created "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice." The name of the show is "Off the Map" and it sounds like a great twist on a medical drama where the usual hot and sexy doctors travel abroad to help the less fortunate. For more details about this show, please check out my fellow Featured Television Contributor, Mandy Robinson's article about this new program which debuts on Wednesday, January 12th at 10 p.m. eastern time/9 central time.

So one week we can watch the new show and decide if we want to take it on as a new favorite. But wait just a minute! The following week is January 19th, and the season debut of "Hot in Cleveland" with Betty White and company on TV Land. We have to see this and find out how Elsa made out after she was arrested for having a large stash of treasures that her late husband embezzled and she never turned them in after he died. If you are new to this program, you can check out my weekly write ups from last season starting with the pilot here

Another show that will be put into the mix now is "Blue Bloods" starring Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg. You can read an article that I wrote about the program here. Now I don't know why CBS decided to switch this wonderful program to Wednesday 10 eastern/9 central because it was such a bright spot on Friday nights.

Starting on January 19th, the same time as "Hot in Cleveland" begins and "Off the Wall" continues to their second week; there will be choices to make. Unfortunately a DVR or TiVo will not solve the problem in its entirety. You can watch one show and record one more, but two are the limit. So I may just have to watch "Off the Wall" in another room if I still like it after the premiere. But I will definitely be reporting on "Hot in Cleveland" as I did last season. What will you be watching?
