— Hellcats premieres tonight on The CW (and ‘A’) but I’m still not sure if I’ll check it out. I’ve had the screener on me for awhile but decided to watch some other stuff instead. I’m all for hot girls in cheerleader uniforms, but why waste an hour tonight when I can check out Maggie Q kick ass in a bikini tomorrow night in the Nikita reboot instead? Big Brother airs its eviction episode a night early this week. Tomorrow will be a big night, another episode of Big Brother, plus the season premiere of The Vampire Diaries and the 2-hour season finale of Rookie Blue. Still have to figure out what to watch live, TiVo and timeshift.
