New TV Shows Starting March 2
March starts bringing us new TV again–with brand new shows and returning old favorites. This Monday, March 2, we get one of each:
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, NBC, 12:30am Eastern/11:30pm Central: The long-awaited changing of the guard from Conan to Jimmy is here. Reported first guests were Robert DeNiro and Van Morrison, but now they’ve also thrown Justin Timberlake into the mix. Considering Timberlake’s ridiculously funny sketches and videos on Saturday Night Live, we may be in for some craziness. And I certainly can’t predict how the DeNiro exchange will go. This is definitely one to watch.
Rules of Engagement, CBS, 9:30pm Eastern/8:30pm Central: One of those rare birds on television–not only is it a traditional sitcom, but it’s funny. Following a group of friends in varying stages of life–single, engaged, and long-time marrieds–Rules of Engagement gives us three different perspectives and lots of great banter. Audrey (Megyn Price) and Jeff (Patrick Warburton) have great rapport, with comfortable, drawling zingers directed at one another–but in the end it’s still all about the love. And both couples have fun tormenting the eternally single and sleazy Russell (David Spade), who dishes it right back. The show is clever and fun and good for steady laughs.
Enjoy the shows!
