BSC Round-up: Sept. 26, 2010

Fall is officially here.  All our shows are back, college football is in full swing, the mornings even down in the coastal South are sharpening their teeth on almost-cool temperatures, and the lazy days of summer have given way to the energy of the changing season.  Around BSC, too, business has picked up.  We’ve got columns, TV, movies by the truckload…light on book content this week, but I guess everyone was so busy hitting pilots of all the new shows to decide what was worth watching that no one had any time to read. I know I didn’t.  If you were too busy fast-fowarding through commercials on your recorded programs or drinking heavily to forget the disheartening loss your favorite team just suffered to check in every day, let your fears drift away.  I’ve got your cheat sheet, my weekly run-down of our original content so that you can be sure you didn’t miss something awesome.
