This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King and appreciated their beautiful skyline.

Each Tuesday we will feature new music that should (or whatever) be on your radar.

Labor Day may mark the end of summer for most, but for TV fans, it's the beginning of the Fall TV season that really signals the end of summer and its often crappy TV offerings. Instead, we've got the return of OLD crappy shows and new (possibly) crappy shows to look forward to. Like tonight, when Fox jumps the gun on all the other networks with its Fall season premieres of "Prison Break" and "K-Ville."

Just because all the Fall TV shows have aired their season finales doesn't mean there's nothing to watch; it's just stuff the networks don't think is good enough to air during the "real" TV season. And granted, a lot of it is crap. But sometimes crap can be entertaining--any TV fan can tell you that.

Despite its horrible image quality, annoying upload limits, and MySpace-worthy commenters, we have to admit, we love YouTube, especially when it gives us the opportunity to watch Fall TV pilots weeks before they're supposed to air, thus saving us the annoyance of setting those TiVo season passes for new shows that might very well be crap.

At last, things have calmed down a bit with the Fall TV season. Most shows have premiered, ratings are in, judgments have been cast, and choices have been made. However, in some cases, we're beginning to doubt those choices.

The Fall TV season has officially begun, and we've been programming our TiVos and setting Season Pass priorities with the research and concentration usually reserved for complex algebraic equations (a subject which we admittedly flunked in high school). Needless to say, we're both parts excited and exhausted, so let's just get started with our look at some of the week's premieres. (Luckily, Sunday has already passed, and we're hoping you overlooked the series premiere of "The War at Home" on Fox, which was truly a painful thing to behold.)

The final selection of official Fall TV Season Premieres have finally found their way to the boob toob this week, and one of them is actually worth the wait.
