FRIDAY NIGHT Premiere

Addendum to my previous premieres and notables list-- because TV GUIDE suuuuuucks and didn't mention it anywhere in this week's issue:

Friday Night Lights; NBC. 8 pm. 3rd Season Premiere
Yes, this is the season that aired on DirectTV in the Fall-- but it's new for everyone who doesn't have that TV provider.
I've heard from a number of sources that this season is an improvement over Season Two, and brings it back to being one of the best shows on TV. Recommended.

Take Some SOUP

I've written about The Soup a few times, and if you haven't checked it out, this week's episode is crazy.

I wrote to a friend of mine just this week that The Soup has all the reality show nonsense I can handle in one week. Thankfully, host Joel McHale brings a lot of humor to this clip show that proves that humanity is doomed to destruction.

I don't know what's worse about these reality shows: that the subjects of them are that repulsive/messed up-- or that people watch that crap week after week (and sometimes in all-day marathons).

And it's not limited to reality shows. This week's Clip of the Week comes from ABC's 20/20 and features one of the most jaw-dropping subjects I've ever heard about. I'd like to see what the kid thinks of that clip in 20 years.

Watch The Soup and see what I'm talking about.

This week's ep still repeats a few times. The network is E! (home of some of the worst of these types of shows) and here are the times (CST):
Monday, 2:30 am
Tuesday, 1:00 am
Tuesday, 7:00 am
