WEEK 8 Highlights (October 28-November 3, 2013)

[proxio]

THIS WEEK: This week will be the first full week of sweeps this season as we are inside of Halloween week here in NITRO and we've got two major premieres to celebrate the autumn holiday. This is perhaps the most exciting week in NITRO history as we have a bunch of stuff happening this week including the start of a new era starting on Sunday with WFL Football going against the NFL and we have a 9-network race for the first time since 2010 as RTN our newest network begins their run and ROD unleashes their second network WCN both inside of the Federal Division.

BIGGEST PREMIERE: We have a pair of big premieres both airing on ICE this week as we have the premiere of the new revolutionary live mystery soap "Who Wanted Nichole Dead?" which premieres this Monday as viewers will be able to watch a 33 year old murder mystery that spans between three generations of the baby boomers, generation X, and Millennials finally go through the process of being solved. This soap stars Lori Loughlin who reprises her character Jody Travis from the old daytime soap The Edge of Night. You the viewers follow the clues and figure out who wanted Nichole dead. The other huge premiere is our first big TV movie event of the season in the Halloween reboot entry "Hospitality" which focuses on Michael Myers' homicidal niece played by Phoebe Tonkin who wrecks havoc all over a Chicago hospital to find her uncle Mike. The series is produced and directly by horror queen Danielle Harris who will actually be acting in both Hospitality and Girl Games 2 which premieres right before Hospitality. Hospitality premieres on ICE at 9pm on Thursday night. Also the fourth Janit O'Day spin-off "Heather" premieres later this week on SBC. You can catch the 3-day premiere event on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

MONDAY: Monday just got a bit of a jolt as Lily Collins has been connected to a little bit of controversy with the Shenae Grimes angle as she promises to reveal a secret of her's during the live taping of Angry Landlords which airs at 9:30pm so we'll see if she does so since the show is improv and not scripted writing.

THURSDAY: In what could be argued as the biggest night of television we've seen so far this season when it comes to competition between networks we have some major premieres coming from quite a few networks all relating to the horror genre as we celebrate Halloween on this night. The scariest night in television is right here in Psycho Bitch Night as we start things off with the biggest TV movie event in 3 years when the first Girl Games movie premiered and now the sequel premieres as they kept their viewers waiting for 3 years now at Girl Games kicks it all off on ICE at 7pm then the big one at 9pm as the Halloween franchise goes from the big screen to the small screen as Phoebe Tonkin stars as Michael Myers vicious little niece. Over on ROD we will have the premiere of the fourth part of the When a Stranger Calls franchise and following it will be the Sleepaway Camp reboot Angela's Sleepaway Camp starring Stella Sisters star Lennon Stella and Pretty Little Liar Ashley Benson and following that will be a special edition of the new primetime soap hit Sheila Carter as part 1 of a special two-part episode kicks off there at 11pm. Over on SBC we'll have the huge series premiere of Heather based on the hit TV movie franchise starring Sabs star Jessica Szohr as Heather Daniels and Angélica Celaya as the cop who continues to try and hunt her down as this is night one of the 3-night premiere and Tough Chick gets the Heater boost afterwards.

FRIDAY: If it's Friday then it must be another good showdown between ROD and SBC and Fridays mean that ROD's evil cold duo of Sheila Carter and Quinn Fuller are back to kill off more victims in the Los Angeles area in this increasing popular primetime soap that finally gave us a non-ICE network program that reached past 70 million viewers last week but this week is different because we have Quinn's brand new rival Heather Daniels making her Friday night debut over at SBC as we will have a very interesting matchup as SBC changes up their whole lineup by making TGIF stronger against ROD's surging comedies as Full House and Step By Step enter the 8pm hour and adult comedies Topanga and Sam & Brian: Friends takeover the 9pm hour. Sheila Carter completes a special two-part episode.

ICE will bring in a special Friday edition of The Carpenters Hour featuring Detroit Week to go against Sheila Carter. SBC will move their comedies up an hour earlier and will cap the evening off with Jaws getting the Heather Experience boost. ROD made a couple of changes too as The Carpenters Hour Juniors will lead-off replacing Sara Sampaio's variety hour and Miss Roderick will air its elimination episodes right being Sheila Carter. Over in the Federal Division on PDN we will have a couple of sporting events as Mia Lasanti makes her ICE debut as she is in exhibition action getting ready for the time trials and in late night a figure skating showcase.

SUNDAY: In November of 2013, NITRO viewers all over the world will witness the birth of a new era. For the first time in 43 years since the American Football League merged with the National Football League nobody has had a plan to compete with the NFL well that all changes starting here in September 2013 as the ICE Phederation would be under the direction of a new Chief Executive Officer who had a new plan. That plan was to take down the male dominated pro sports league and use females in the same sport to compete and assassinate it once and for all. Over the last 5 years we have seen a changing of the guard in a once male dominated industry as a new breed of young females have taken over NITRO. It all started with the Allison Shields versus Alyson Stoner war in the summer of 2009 which changed everything as we know it forever and on Sunday officially starts the birth of a new era known as The Bold and the Beautiful Era an era that was five years in the making.

In primetime The Carpenters Hour hold Detroit Week and a selection show and on TEN Hayden Panettiere's new variety show kicks off after NFL coverage.


NEXT WEEK (NOVEMBER 4-10, 2013): November Sweeps continues with another huge week of action as Tuesday launches the start of Kelly Green Tuesdays on ICE as Saved By the Bell spin-off Kelly Kapowski debuts and the start of the first competition pageant of the season kicks off from Ford Field in Detroit. ROD starts the competition shows for Miss ROD on Wednesday in Nashville. We are expected to see more TEN and RTN premieres as more of their schedule gets rounded out. On the night before Night of Champions starts another competition season of The Carpenters Hour at Yankee Stadium in New York on Sunday.

FUTURE NOTABLE PREMIERE (NOVEMBER 5, 2013): Tiffani-Amber Thiessen worked with Dustin Diamond on her new Saved By the Bell spin-off Kelly Kapowski which will be ICE's last comedy premiere of the fall supposedly. Kelly Kapowski will follow her character who establishes a relationship with her niece who has the same exact name as her and how she is a pain in the ass to live with convincing her friends to live with her up in Seattle. The first episode premieres on Tuesday at 9:30pm live from Ford Field.
