My Faith in VH1 Has Been Officially Shattered
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this clip:
Are you kidding me?! They had a stripper on Rock of Love Bus? A stripper? I can't believe VH1 would stoop so low as this. It's a goddamn travesty.
I mean, Bret Michaels agreed to do this show as a means to find the love of his life, and the producers think a stripper is what he's looking for? I give Bret lots of props for not just walking off the show after that little display. I can tell he didn't want to draw too much attention to the situation and elected to pretend to be really into the stripper pole dance instead of embarrassing anyone, and that just shows what a classy guy Bret is.
Bravo to Bret Michaels and boo to VH1.

Backstage on Britney's Tour
Not terribly funny-- but terrible things happen to Brit, so, you know...

Premieres and Notables; March 9-15, 2009
Monday, 3/9
Dancing With the Stars; ABC. 7 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Ugh...
That '70s Show's Laura Prepon shows up on How I Met Your Mother (CBS; 7:30) playing one of Ted's old flames from college. And you know what that means, right? Yep, some scenes from Ted, Marshall, and Lily's college days.
John Glover guest stars as Sylar's father on Heroes (NBC; 8:00).
Castle; ABC. 9:02. Series Premiere.
Nathan Fillion stars as an author who teams up with a cop (Stana Katic) to solve crimes. And if the barely believable premise didn't sell you, I understand the two flirt quite a bit (gotta have sexual tension), which I'm sure will be stretched out way beyond its interesting parts. The uninteresting-sounding show must be why TV Guide didn't even list the show in its premiere pages (just kidding-- other pure shit gets mentioned).
It's too bad we've seen shows like this a million times before. And it's a crime that Fillion got stuck on another doomed series.
Wednesday, 3/11
The Chopping Block; NBC. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
British chef Marco Pierre stars in this reality competition about... food!
Ghost Hunters; Sci Fi. 8 pm. 5th Season Premiere.
South Park; Comedy Central. 9 pm. 13th Season Premiere.
Season 12 was a big disappointment for me. Hopefully Stone and Parker get back to what they once did better than anyone else.
Thursday, 3/12
Kath & Kim (NBC; 7:30). Season Finale.
I'm willing to bet money they meant Series Finale.
Warriors; History. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
Host Terry Schappert explores the world of warrior people. First up are the Vikings.
Friday, 3/13
Wife Swap (ABC; 7 pm) celebrates its 100th episode.
Really? It sure doesn't seem like this show has been on forever.
Jockeys (Animal Planet; 8:30). Season Finale.
Wow-- that season didn't seem to last long...
Battlestar Galactica (Sci Fi; 9 pm) airs the first of its two-part series finale. I won't recommend starting to watch it now if you haven't seen it before, but for those of us who have been watching (or crammed the entire series into a six-month DVD watching spree like I did) are both excited and sad to know this is the end. Questions will be answered, the story will be tied up-- and then it will be gone.
I hope to write a bit more about the series later, but don't let that stop you from buying/borrowing the DVD sets now. Or maybe checking the schedule to see if it reairs from the beginning. This is one of the best sci fi television-- no, check that-- one of the best television shows ever. Highly Recommended.
Saturday, 3/14
Will Ferrell: You're Welcome America. A Final Night With George W. Bush; HBO. 8 pm. Special.
The show has been a hit on Broadway. I'm not if we need to see it at this (moot) point, but HBO must think something's there.
The Graham Norton Show; BBC America. 9 pm. Season Premiere.
Sunday, 3/15
Kings; NBC. 7 pm. Series premiere.
The amazing Ian McShane (Deadwood; but I hope like Hell you already knew that) stars in this "reimagining" of the story of David (from the Bible). I've heard the series itself has a cliche or two too many, but that McShane is a wonder to watch. There are lots of great actors on TV right now-- but McShane is in the cream of that crop. If you haven't watched him work, check this show out.
Will Ferrell guest stars again in Eastbound and Down (HBO; 9:30 pm) as car sales dealer Ashley Schaeffer.
