OMG TV: Turbocharged

Posted by Jeff in , , , , ,

8:00 - American Gladiators (NBC)

The semifinals are on, and there’s a new Gladiator debuting tonight.  Let’s take guess as to his name.  Spear!  Hyper!  Rhino!  Pull-tab!  Oh, wait, it’s on NBC’s site, I guess it’s ‘Beast‘ …and he’s seven feet tall!   That’s a full 14 inches over dumbass Rocket, last season’s winner!  Damn.

9:00 - Top Gear (BBC America)

Smart of BBC America to be ramping up their quality programming during the summer - between Top Gear and Spaced, they’re kicking the crap out of our domestic networks.  Tonight on Top Gear: funny accents and steering wheels on the wrong side.  Also: Hammond’s a homo!  HAHAHAHAHA.

10:00 - Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (Travel)

Tony heads to Saudi Arabia to apply his rude ‘tude to OPEC negotiations.  Or, more likely, to eat broiled scorpion or something.

Late Night

Will Ferrell takes his shirt off on Dave, Kyra Sedgwick makes me delete TNT from my channel listing on Leno, Richard “Something about Subprime Mortgages” Bitner is on The Daily Show and Senator Jim Webb swears he doesn’t want the VP spot … ;-) … on Colbert.

OMG TV: Kangaroo Boxing

Posted by Jeff in , , , , , , ,

8:00 - Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (Travel)

Bourdain’s off to Singapore, in what Josh calls a “classic.”  My prediction?  Sex tourism, and lots of it.

9:00 - After the Attack (Animal Planet)

“A 2007 attack by a sea lion that left a teen girl seriously injured; an attack on a teen boy by a kangaroo in 1998.”  There is absolutely, absolutely no way this show is as cool as it seems in my head.

10:00 - Jericho (CBS)

Sorry peanutheads, but your silly little show is OVER.  O-VER.  O. V. E. R.  Done.  Finito.  This ain’t no season finale, it’s a series finale.  All you Skeet Ulrich fans may now return to Skeeter Net.

Late Night

Kate Bosworth is on Letterman (isn’t it weird that she played Kevin Spacey’s lover in Across the Sea, but student in 21?), Abigail Breslin is on Leno (likely to discuss the recent issues with Bear Stearns and the interest rate), and Kimmel promises us The first two eliminated celebrities from “Dancing with the Stars” (what a draw!).  Conan, Stewart and Colbert are on vacation.

Found the image on RelevantMagazine.com - apparently the Orlando Magic had halftime kangaroo boxing.  Word. If my Jericho rant sounded angry, it’s because In Treatment wasn’t on last night and I need my therapy.
