All New Monday Night Tonight on All Networks!

As if magically appearing to take the bad taste out of your mouth after the nearly-universally panned Emmy Awards telecast last night -- panned for a bad show, not bad winners -- tonight offers up an amazing array of brand new series, new episodes of old favorites, and the return of the cult favorite that seems like it's been away forever.

ABC has new live Dancing With the Stars and a new Boston Legal. Fox gives us new episodes of Terminator and Prison Break. CW unveils new eps of Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. CBS entices us with season premieres of its terrific Monday night comedy line-up of Flaming Nose favorite The Big Bang Theory, the growing-on-us How I Met Your Mother, the sorry-but-I-can't-stand-it Two and a Half Men, and the very first ever episode of Worst Week, followed of course by CSI: Miami.

In the most hotly-anticipated Monday night treat, NBC comes on strong with three hours of Heroes, starting with a one-hour Countdown to the Premiere -- shouldn't that be Re-Premiere? -- and then a special two-hour season opener that fans of the show evidently will love.

Happy Monday!
