This is bad. This is really bad. Nothing on TV (you're thinking). I'm stuck here in office (you're thinking). And summer's halfway over (you're thinking). And still nothing on TV. So bored that I've come over to TVzone to see what this Gay Guy has got.
So, I'm here to provide some relief in these slow, slow moments. Here's my own personal list of TV-related stuff to get excited about (or perhaps not) over the next few days. This is just what comes immediately to mind. I'll add to the list when something else pops into my midsummer-addled brain ...
* Lewis Black's Root of All Evil - second season begins tonight (10:30, CC), and whether or not Black is your cup of whatever, he does assault two assault-worthy targets tonight -- ultimate fighting and blogs, which we're told, are "nothing more than the collection of pointless personal minutiae and the blogger's cat dressed as Harry Potter ... They've reduced us to a first-draft culture...they're the root of all EEEEVILLL."
* Press release from Cartoon Network or SOMEWHERE announcing that the skinned and mutilated cat that's been on Gawker.com all week -- the so-called Montauk Monster! -- was really just a slick promo for a new show, and that "no animals were injured in the production of this slick promo..." Don't know what I'm talking 'bout? Head over to Gawker, which has gotten more traffic over this one item than anything since the post announcing Britney and Lilo were having an affair ... Everyone's got a theory, but yesterday Gawker decided it was the victim of a CC hoax. Ah, summer on the beach ...
* "Pam Girl on the Loose," E!, Sunday at 10. TV this bad doesn't come around often, and you have to watch this to prove all your theories that the world is going to hell and justify to your spouse why you just demolished the expensive new flat-screen with a sledgehammer. She/he will wanna know and you'll sputter, "Girl...on...the...LOOSE!"
* Jurassic Fight Club: What a rip. This aired last night and I tune in expecting to see some new and toastier version of EliteXC and it's about dinosaurs. "When you look at the skull of a majungothulus, it's designed like the head of a big horn sheep.." Not excited about this anymore...
* Courtney Galiano: This is big. This is very big. Tonight's the pre-finale finale of "So You Think You Can Dance," and then it's all over next week. Commack Courtney is among the final six, and is a terrific dancer, and may well end up the winner of this whole shebang. We await.
* The Olympics: Nine days, 10 hours, 15 minutes...20 (give or take) seconds...until the summer event of all events. I can await...I can await...I can't await...I can't await...
