Dresscue Me; Planet Green. 9:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A designer takes her clients vintage-clothes shopping.
Thursday, 4/21
Community (NBC; 7 pm CST) has a clip show. Except the clips are not from old episodes.

Doctor Who; BBC America. 8 pm CST. 6th Series Premiere.
I enjoy this show, but I'm a bit surprised by just how excited I am for this new season.
I really dig Matt Smith's turn as The Doctor. Goofy, funny, but with an attitude that I would normally consider "bad ass" if he wasn't so likable. One of my favorite examples of this is when he simply said to a young boy who asked if he was afraid of monsters: "No. They're afraid of me."
Series Six ("Season Six" for us Americans) opens with an ambitious 2-parter not only set in America, but (for the first time for the series) filmed in America as he travels to 1969 to help Nixon turn back aliens who are hypnotizing the world's populace.

Treme; HBO. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
I'm embarrassed to say I haven't watched the first season yet, but I've heard very good things.
After Lately (E!; 10:30 pm CST). Season Finale.
The first season goes out with a bang with Tori Spelling, Dr. Drew, and Justin Beiber (who has had some great interviews with Chelsea) all showing up.

Friday (Brock's dub)
I'm not really about trying to further humiliate this poor girl. I mean, I haven't even seen the original (other than a couple seconds-worth of snippets on shows like The Soup).
But I thought this was pretty funny.

Tolerance for our times
Smut Cave used its 40th episode "anniversary" to give us a song about acceptance.
Take it to heart as ebony and ivory can mean sexual synchronicity.

Bulldogs NCAA Champs!
Wanted to be one of the first to congratulate the University of Minnesota- Duluth Bulldogs Men's Ice Hockey team for bringing the NCAA Division I Championship to Duluth-- finally.
First-ever such championship for this team. My longest-loved team finally reached the top!
I may live in Wisconsin now-- but I'm proud to say I'm still a Duluth boy at heart.

Extreme Couponing; TLC. 8 & 8:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
I'd watch this because I've saved shitloads of money on DVDs using coupons, but because they didn't call it "X-Treme", I just don't think the show is extreme enough...

Breaking In; Fox. 8:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Slater goes the comedy route since his last two dramas bombed. I've been reading that it's actually a great fit.

You're So Hot with Chris Mintz-Plasse and Dave Franco
One of the sickest, most vulgar things I've ever watched.
And I couldn't stop laughing.
If you have the stomach, give it a try. It's well beyond R-rated, though. Just a warning.
