OMG TV: Turbocharged

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.
