Last year, a promising new show was sent seemingly to its death when FOX executives decided to air new episodes on Friday night. Friday nights are known as the place where television shows go to die. In this case, every show that was scheduled on a Friday night eventually was cancelled.
This past Tuesday was the 2009 BET Hip Hop awards. It featured some of hip hop's most talented artists. The show was hosted by Mike Epps of "All About the Benjamins" and "Next Friday" fame. He is a stand-up comedian and actor. Epps began his career on Def Comedy Jam back in 1995.
When it comes to terrifying mankind, space aliens have been overshadowed lately by vampires and zombies. But Tuesday night, the extraterrestrials launch an inspired rally in "V," a captivating new science-fiction drama from ABC. Based on a 1980s miniseries, "V" (for "Visitors") tells of a close encounter with an alien race, which arrives via massive spacecrafts that hover ominously over every major city on Earth.
