Here are the upcoming 2011-2012 Network Season shows I’m planning on checking out.

Upcoming shows on NBC, I’m planning to check out.

Up All Night
Looks like it could be a winner, and with Lorne Micheals involved I’m sure it will be well taken care of by NBC.

Whitney
Don’t really know who Whitney Cummings is, but the preview looks promising has some really funny moments and lines, just hope those aren’t the only ones. Totally obvious laugh tracks scare me today though…

Grimm
Cool freaky stuff always gets me interested. Sort of like a Buffy/Angel show with fairy tales. No wonder the executive producers were from those shows…

Awake
Guy lives in two worlds after an accident, one where his wife died and kid lived, and one where his kid died, and his wife lived. Could be interesting, but I’m sure it will be canceled because it will be to difficult for people to follow.

Upcoming Shows on ABC
First a couple takes on shows I’m not planning on watching. But honestly most of their new stuff looks pretty bleh.

Work It…
This was done in the early 80s and was called Bosom Buddies, we don’t need it again.

Pan Am
I see that all the networks are trying to find a show equal to Mad Men, I might watch this since it sounds interesting, but really seems like a copy cat.

What I will be checking out on ABC, with much skepticism…

Apartment 23
I’ll check it out because of James Van Der Beek is playing himself and I want to see how that turns out.

Once Upon a Time
Producers from Lost involved, I’ll take a look. But we will see…

CBS Upcoming Shows

Person of Interest
Michael Emerson… Need I really say more? But it’s not my typical show to watch.

2 Broke Girls
Kat Dennings… Other than that eh, we will see.

The CW Upcoming Shows.
Um, nope, sorry, there is nothing worth watching on the CW anymore.

Here is a list of what I’m looking forward to returning next season.

Community
Big Bang Theory
The Middle
Modern Family
How I Met Your Mother
The Office
Happy Endings
Fringe
Glee
Chuck
Raising Hope
Burn Notice and Eureka, but they are Summer shows that should be starting back up very soon.

RIP to these shows that died too soon.

Traffic Light
Perfect Couples
Mad Love

Here is another video, something goofy I did back when Kelly and I went to Zion with my parents last year.  I was pretending to be a tour guide while driving up to and through the tunnel in Zion.

I know I didn’t mention this yesterday but it’s been pouring here in Southern California all week, some of the worst rains I’ve seen since 2005. Fortunately the house has held up well. Now on to the continuation of the Weekly Cool Links #21.

Cool Tech
For the last couple years I’ve used XBMC installed on my old Xbox as my be all media player for our living room, but with news from the most recent CES I just might look into replacing it sooner than later. Here are the devices I’m looking into.

Patriot Box Office Media Player
HDX BD-1
Asus O!Play HDP-R1
Popbox
Boxee Box (by D-Link)

The Boxee Box would be the one that is most like my current setup, since it’s based off the XBMC, but I’m not very happy with D-Link after various issues with some of their devices I’ve had in 2009. Right now it’s a wait and see approach, the Patriot Box Office is at Fry’s now for $130, but it seems a bit under whelming.

Cool Stuff
I know you thought I was done with 2009 lists after 21.1 but I had to share the Top 10 Everything of 2009 by Time. And the last mention of 2009 in this post, Gamasutra’s 99 Best Free games of 2009. Last week I watched this awesome video from TED about the intelligence of crows, it’s really eye-opening and will get you to look at crows in a whole different way. Of course this picture of search terms might make you wish you were a crow (women want their men to propose, and men want their women to give them head). If all that has made you feel a little less smart, check out this periodic table of elements with pictures!

Cool Advertising
Companies aren’t happy with just names, now they want to own colors… This is just plain wrong.

Cool Food
Kelly and I have done our best to start eating in more often, and it’s sites like No Takeout that help me plan our meals, they give a complete menu, shopping list, and game plan to get your meal done and on the table. Of if I’m just looking for a recipe based off of items I have there is Supercook or a new site I found call Cooking By Numbers.

Cool Videos
