Summer was fun etc., but we've been riding unreasonable levels of excitement for the fall TV season; us high culture junkies are in need of a fix. And this fall more than any other -- riding the well documented successes of the Alexandra Patsavas cabal and the "'Young Folks' Effect"™ -- the shows are out to hook you with their super hip music tastes. Take Gossip Girl, the new Josh Schwartz show aimed at trendy youngsters, kicking off right away with ... "Young Folks." Trend-setting stuff, right at the open. Or Dirty Sexy Money, the new Donald Sutherland show which featured a limo scene soundtracked by ... "Young Folks." Okay, no, let's go to Californication, the David Duchovny-starring Showtime series with inter-segment segue music that's ... right, a legal rip of "Young Folks."
Creative TV types, what'll they come up with next.
Of course there was a lot more than just PB&J popping up on shows this week, so for this very special PREMIERE WEEK EXTRAVAGANZA edition of Show Tunes, we've rounded up tracks appearing in shows' premiere eps (and from this week which had seasons already in progress 'cause why not) and broken 'em down into a cute little list.
