WHAT TO TIVO

Gaius Charles and Kyle Chandler star in NBC's 'Friday Night Lights: Season 2'

Friday Night Lights (Season Premiere) -- 9/8c on DirecTV Ch. 101

Finally, a reason for me to be happy that my building requires DirecTV. (Pardon my tangential venting, but I can’t be the only one whose ‘signal’ goes out every time there’s a light drizzle within a 5-mile radius!) Tonight’s episode is the first since Friday Night Lights was punted (yesss!) from NBC to the leading satellite provider’s network of roughly 52,000 channels. Again, it’s an exciting premiere, but if you’re an America's Got Talent fanatic, there’s no chance you’re forgoing that show’s finale for the football drama’s third-season premiere. TiVo now, enjoy later.

2007 Fall TV Preview Private Practice

Private Practice (Season Premiere) -- 9/8c on ABC

This, too, is a big, highly anticipated season premiere, but in my opinion, Private Practice, more than of tonight’s shows, is a must-see-at-a-later date--meaning it can definitely wait to be viewed at your leisure with little to no risk of overhearing a recap. Save it for Thursday night to watch in Grey's Anatomy’s stead (since the Palin-Biden debate bumps Grey's for this week).
