Okay. So it's creepy.
But it cracked me up.

Premieres and Notables: December 26, 2011- January 1, 2012
Whoops.
Last week, I missed the Doctor Who (BBC America) marathons on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day; all culminating with the newest Christmas Special at 8 pm CST on the 25th. Check it out.
I don't know how I could have missed mentioning it last time...
I save Doctor Who for when I'm alert and can only focus on the episode, which puts me behind (namely I haven't seen a new episode since the last Christmas Special). But, of course, waiting also puts me in the position of finally owning the sixth season on glorious Blu-Ray (thank you, Barnes & Noble for your Blu-Ray 40% off sale combined with a nice 30% off coupon, so the final price was merely "high" as opposed to the usual "ridiculous" for a BBC title...), so that's not a bad way to catch up.
You can catch up on the sixth season just by tuning into BBC America Christmas Day...
Okay, on to the bound-to-be short premieres post:
Monday, 12/26
The Closer (TNT; 8 pm CST). Winter Finale.
Rizzoli and Isles (TNT; 9 pm CST). Winter Finale.
Tuesday, 12/27
Texas Multi Mamas; We TV. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Six moms of multiple (twins, triplets, etc) get the families together.
Extreme Couponing All-Stars; TLC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Twelve couponers compete to find out who is the best.
Thursday, 12/29
Hook, Line and Sisters; TLC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Two pro fisherwomen (who I'm guessing from seeing the title are sisters-- unless TLC would lie to us) make a go at deep-sea fishing in Alaska.
Friday, 12/30
Infested! Animal Planet. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Bug-bustin' Animal Planet style.
Interesting to see that bugs don't get the pretty "save the species" shows that other animals do...
^^^Ah, now I know why I missed mentioning the Doctor Who Christmas Special last week: because TV Guide wastes page space on the above bullshit shows and doesn't often mention great TV like the good Doctor's show...
Saturday, 12/31
I haven't seen an ep in a while, but I'm sure Phineas and Ferb (Disney XD) is still awesome. Maybe I'll catch up during the 13-hour marathon that begins at 10 am CST.
Sunday, 1/1
Rachael Ray vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off; Food Network. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Ray and Fieri coach celebs for a cook-off.
Angry Boys; HBO. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Finally!!! A new show I don't feel disgust mentioning this week.
Chris Lilley (of the brilliant Summer Heights High) brings us this new show about young men and the troubles they face in Australia. And, as in previous shows, he plays multiple roles.
I am completely pumped about this show. Highly recommended.
Speaking of Chris Lilley, HBO OnDemand and HBO Go are offering both of Lilley's previous series up until the Angry Boys premiere. I haven't caught We Can Be Heroes yet (I fully plan to this week), but Summer Heights High was genius.
I wrote about it here and here.

Grace Helbig's Guide to Secret Santa Gifts
Okay, this is probably late to help anyone, but I LOVE Grace Helbig-- and this definitely worth watching, even if you don't do Secret Santa.

Unearthed TRON Holiday Special
Like many other late-'70s to early-'80s properties, TRON had a Holiday Special

Star Trek as A-Team
Not bad...
Or how about a Dallas opening?
But why give Star Trek all the fun?
Man, modern TV shows with their "no theme songs" edict are really missing something...
