OMG TV: Sweet Caroline

Posted by Josh in , , , ,


There, now you’ve seen everything you need to see in

8:30 pm EST – Saturday Night Live: The Best of Alec Baldwin (NBC)

But I may tune in anyway and marvel at why no one realized his comedic potential long before 30 Rock.

8:00 pm EST - American Idol (FOX)

I know, I know, but my new roommate loves Idol and as a result I have been watching for the first time ever. It is actually pretty good! At least, I can see why it is a cultural juggernaut. Tonight is Neil Diamond night, which means The Diamond Cutter himself will be on hand to coach the contestants in his songs. Will the person who gets “Sweet Caroline” wear a Red Sox hat? Maybe a surprise appearance from David Spade? Can’t we think of a better nickname for Neil?

9:00 pm EST – Reaper (CW)

So it wasn’t until doing today’s OMG TV that I realized Reaper was even back on the air. Man that show is going to get canceled. Apparently I only missed one episode, but still, if I forgot about it then who could possibly be watching this thing. Check it out — please? This guy is awesome as the devil. And this girl is really hot as the annoying best friend/love interest.

Late Night

Letterman has Robert Downey Jr and Leno has Dr. Phil, there might have been a hilarious joke about those two guests 10 years ago, but now Downey has his shit together and is a much more boring interview. Furguson has Kathy Griffin and Conan has Jeff Garlin (imagine that baby? ewww). And finally, Stewart has Newt Gingrich and Colbert has Anne Lamott.

TV Guide Tuesday Jan 15

Let’s cut the crap. You’re probably going to be watching the two hour American Idol premiere tonight, ostensibly to make fun of the pathetic attempts by Philadelphians to evolve out of their primordial ooze and sing. But somewhere behind your jeering mask of irony lies a 6-year-old choir boy who would give anything to be the next Clay Aiken. Listen: friends don’t let friends Idol.

Al Gore’s Head7:00 – Batman Begins (FX)

Somebody watch this and explain this whole Ra’s Al Ghul thing to me, I still don’t get it.

9:00 – Futurama: Anthology of Interest I (Comedy)

Rumor is Al Gore is going to announce his candidacy during his guest spot in this 8 year old episode of a canceled TV show.

10:00 – Pioneers of Television: Late Night (PBS)

Writer’s strike got you down? Had that hankering for a little Jack Paar recently? Check out this fawning overview of late night network television that covers all the greats – and probably Jay Leno too.

Late Night

Letterman’s got Denzel Washington and Don Rickles, and Drew Carey is stopping by Craig Ferguson to reminisce about their Drew Carey Show days/ask for a loan.
