March TV Madness

March is shaping up to be good month for new and returning programs. I tried out Fox's The Sons of Tuscon on Sunday night and thoroughly enjoyed this odd show. The key ingredient is Tyler Labine, who I first remember as a terrific co-star on The Reaper. I miss the antics of The Reaper, but Labine is back in form in his new show. While the premise is a little strange - he is being paid by three kids to be their dad while their real one sits in prison - it becomes a blank slate for Labine. Whether this show can keep its steam through more than one season remains to be seen, but it will be a fun ride while it lasts.

Some other shows starting in March include HBO's The Pacific, FX's Justified, and Disovery's Life. Returning shows include Showtime's Nurse Jackie and United States of Tara, as well as ABC Family's 10 Things I Hate About You. Plenty of good TV this month.

Another note: If you are a fan of the TV show Lost, I recommend you check out this Slate site that follows the series closely. You will find some fun insights to the show.
