OMG TV: Well, that was a mistake

Worst. Oscars telecast. Ever.
The awards themselves were fine, even good (though Diablo Cody, ughhhhhhhhhhh), but that was the most half-assed show awards show I have ever seen. Queen Latifah wouldn’t let that shit fly at the People’s Choice Awards. But we’re over it, seriously, so let’s get back to our regularly scheduled programming.
8:00 - A Raisin in the Sun (ABC)
No, this isn’t a side effect of ABC’s constant stream of advertisements (”The money doesn’t BELONG to us, it’s your MOTHER’s money”), but more a side effect of Diddyitis. No matter how ridiculous, misguided, or poorly produced, we can’t help but pay attention to whatever Diddy does (Making the Band excepted). And he’s promised that his performance will be even more “impactful” than Sidney Poitier’s! We’d be crazy not to watch.
8:00 - The Rundown (FX)
The Rock, Stifler, and Christopher Walken. Surprisingly, this isn’t based on an SNL sketch.
9:30 - In Treatment (HBO)
It happened. We got hooked to In Treatment. HBO is giving away weeks worth of the show via iTunes, and it only took a couple hits for the addiction to become full-blown. The voyeuristic thrill I’m getting from eavesdropping on these conversations is almost enough for me to go into therapy myself. Oh God, this is coming off as a cry for help, but I’m fine! Really! Where are you taking me?!?
Late Night
At long last, my dreams of beautiful Will Ferrell and Michael McDonald love are to be recognized on Letterman tonight. In the off chance they don’t duet, maybe Will Arnett and Flava Flav will on Conan. Eric Bana broods a while on Leno, and Stewart and Colbert are still on vacation. To be fair, Stewart deserves a little time to himself after last night (okay, now we’re over it).
