Can't remember if I posted this one already...

...But I needed to make sure I did at least once.

More television notables: December 25-30, 2012

Okay, I'm back from my trip (on which I neglected to bring my TV mags with that I rip off to write these posts)-- so I have a couple more notables.

Tuesday, 12/25

Rizzoli & Isles (TNT; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.

Leverage (TNT; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.


Wednesday, 12/26

Dark Matters: Twisted But True (Science; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.


Sunday, 12/30

Call the Midwife Holiday Special; PBS. 6:30 pm CST (check local listings). Special.

United States of Bacon; Destination America. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Chef Todd Fisher travels the country to get his bacon on.


And, yeah, I am going to beat the horse a little bit more: I watched Attack of the Show's final live episodes from last week and need to say again: Fuck you, G4! 
Soooo: Thursday's show (the rumored final live ep) wasn't live, but a Best Of.  I call "horseshit" on that one. It only gets points because Matt Mira hosted that ep with Candice Bailey.  Mira rocked every episode he guest-hosted-- and every Gadget Pr0n segment-- since Kevin Pereira left, so it was fitting he got the "final episode" credit (well, until the Chris Hardwick-hosted Best Of's that will air in January).
So, last Wednesday was the final live episode-- and those assholes at G4 didn't give Candice a chance to say anything. Complete bullshit.  She mentioned it briefly at the beginning of the episode, and then it wasn't noted at all. 
Way to be classy, G4.
Dicks...

Television Premiere and Notable: December 24-30, 2012

Tuesday, 12/25

The annual Doctor Who Christmas Special (this year's is called "The Snowmen") airs on BBC America at 8 pm CST. 
The Doctor goes into a depression after losing his latest companions and decides to hide out in 1890's England for a while.  Some old friends decide they need to pull him out of the funk. 
--And he may just find someone new to travel with him.

Before that, check out the NuWho Christmas Specials, beginning with David Tennant's intro as the Doctor on "The Christmas Invasion", where the newly-regenerated Doctor must find out what his new body and personality are capable of-- just as the world is being invaded by aliens.  That one's at 9 am CST.

Following that are the subsequent Christmas specials every hour until last year's special from 2 pm- 3 pm.  After that is the first half of the latest, seventh, season that aired this Fall that takes us right up to 8 pm's The Snowmen special.

The Doctor Who Christmas Specials are always great one-and-done episodes that have a little "more" to them. Worth checking out.


And that's pretty much it.

Of course: what else do you need when you've got New Who?
