SERIES PREMIERE My Own Worst Enemy, 10 p.m. (NBC) Christian Slater has somehow been raised from the dead with a series that the critics are raving about. Trust me; I will be tuned in to watch Alfre Woodard in action.  
 

TUESDAY


The Color of Television: Black Actors on Primetime TV90210, 8 p.m. (CW) I feel compelled to promote this show every week, simply because Tristan Wilds is a cast member. We have to support our people.
SEASON PREMIERE Frontline, 9 p.m. (PBS) Have you made your decision on who you want to vote for during this presidential election? Watch these profiles of presidential nominees Sens. Obama and McCain and get informed.WEDNESDAYAmerica’s Next Top Model, 9 p.m. (CW) Not that I’ve been vigorously following the outcome of this season of Tyra Banks’ ANTM, but smart money says that dark horse Marjorie may come out on top.
Dog the Bounty Hunter, 9 p.m. (A&E) How confusing. This week is the Halloween episode. I wonder how they figured that one out.Presidential Debate, 9 p.m. (CBS) Bob Schieffer plays referee for the third and final presidential debate. Let’s get ready to rumble. THURSDAYCSI: Crime Scene Investigation, 9 p.m. (CBS) A hypnotist uses her skills to rob banks. Why didn’t I think of that one?
ER, 10 p.m. (NBC) If you’re tired of the errant direction “Grey’s Anatomy” is currently traveling on, then you should switch gears and check out “E.R.” After all, it is the show’s last season. Also, make sure you check out new cast member Angela Bassett. FRIDAY

Ghost Whisperer, 8 p.m. (CBS) A ghost is targeting girls on a social networking site. Sounds like they should hire the host from “To Catch A Predator” to solve this one.
The Color of Television: Black Actors on Primetime TVThe Game, 8:30 p.m. (CW) Tasha tries to keep her romance with Rick Fox on the low while he wants to put it out there. It’s usually the other way around, so this should be interesting. 
NUMB3RS, 10 p.m. (CBS) Eight people, including two cops, are gunned down in a coffee shop, leading to a web of blackmail, corruption and romance. Great way to get your weekend started.
