2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony; NBC. 6 pm CST.

Hell on Wheels; AMC. 8 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
It wasn't the greatest show I watched last year (yet it was very solid), but the characters make it worth coming back every week.  And main actors Common-- and especially the magnetic Anson Mount, carry the series very well.  They're both just fun to watch.
And I also have to give props to the best antagonist from last year: The Swede (who hails from Norway; one of my favorite gags).

Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne; Comedy Central. 9 pm CST. Special.
Hosted by Jane Lynch.

Animal Practice; NBC. 9:38 pm CST. Series Premiere/Sneak Peek.
A comedy set in an NYC animal hospital, starring Justin Kirk (who always brings-it on Weeds-- even when he doesn't have much to work with) along with Tyler Labine (who kills on every show he's been on). 
Now I just have to hope the show is decent, for both their sakes.

The Dark Knight Rages

Lucius Fox pwned

I love Lucius Fox from the Dark Knight trilogy; one of my favorite characters.

Sorry, Lucius...

Biden to Honor Fallen Soldiers

Sorry it's just a link.  I guess Blogger isn't important enough to have a button to embed the story.

Anyway, this is why I love The Onion.  So outrageous, you just have laugh at the brilliance of it.

Repubilcans Stalling Obama's Agenda by Moving in Slow Motion

Sometimes The Onion's parodies hit so close to reality, it's hard to tell the difference.
