Whoa! Time sure flies. Sorry (to my half-dozen readers) this is late. But to just let you know my commitment to this blog: I could be watching Prison Break on the big screen TV right now-- but I'm writing this post.
Feel blessed...
Monday, 1/29
Sorry you missed it: the Miss America pageant, hosted by Mario Lopez.
Tuesday, 1/30
Camp Reality; Fox Reality. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Former reality show contestants face off in a series of challenges. Johnny Fairplay is now using someone else's fifteen minutes of fame because his ran out with Kill Reality.
Some sh** shows on MTV premiere tonight; one actually has something (just barely) to do with music. Check out the website because I'm boycotting the network.
Wed, 1/31
Top Design; Bravo. 10 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Yet another crap reality show from a formerly respectable network. If the title doesn't give it away, this one is about: interior designers. I'm excited; how about you?
The Supreme Court; PBS. 8 pm CST (check local listings). Series Premiere.
Four-part special on the history of the court.
America's Ballroom Challenge; PBS. 7 pm (check local). Season Premiere.
I'd dismiss it, but PBS is airing it. Maybe there is some value to it.
Thursday, 2/1
On The Office, Michael hires a Ben Franklin impersonator and a stripper for Phyllis' wedding shower. 'Nuff said.
Paul Reubens guests on 30 Rock as a foreign prince. I watched Pee Wee's Playhouse on [adult swim] this summer as well as have been watching Pee Wee's Big Adventure with my kids, and I have to say I'm glad Reubens is working again. He's a genius.
After the jaw-dropper end two weeks ago, you gotta be there for Ugly Betty this week. Ca-razy!!!!
The Sarah Silverman Program; Comedy Central. 9:30. Series Premiere.
Mildly funny, but mostly offensive for offensive sake (and I'm not an easily offended person-- unless the show/bit just sucks-- then I'm offended). I'll check it out, but I don't have high hopes for this show.
Friday, 2/2
Jon Stewart guests on Jack's Big Music Show, which totally kicks ass. It's on Noggin at 11 am. Let's just hope he doesn't sing (his appearance on Elmopalooza wasn't his finest hour). Thankfully, "pros" get the best musical spots on the show. This episode features a video by alt rock band Flaming Lips members Steven Drozd and Steve Burns (formerly of Blues Clues). Wouldn't it be awesome if the dude is covered with tats now?
Saturday, 2/3
I hate how BBC America runs some of it's shows (the amazing first epsiode of Bodies airs this week-- with no mention of when the other five air next), but you may want to check out the first three eps of the fourth season of Coupling on BBC America from 3-5 am this morning. Yes, the show does have a continuing plot, but you can catch up as you watch (I did it this summer). The first ep was great. It follows the gang as the episode shows the same 9-1/2 minutes from a different point of view three times. It's a definite taste of the brilliance of the show, and, hopefully, the network will air the rest of the series soon. This is highly recommended, and puts American comedies to shame.
Sunday, 2/4
A little thing called The Super Bowl has scared away almost all the shows tonight. Take a rest and watch the game. Or catch up on shows you're behind on, like I will.
