OMG TV: There’s a fiesta in my pants

fiesta-bowl

Top Gear

8:00 (BBC America)

The trio of British gearheads travel to the Land of the Rising Sun, in what I’m sure will be the best car-related programming to come out of Japan since 3 Fast 3 Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Fiesta Bowl

8:15 EST (FOX)

Yes, it’s the bowl game that is also probably something on the dollar menu at Taco Bell!  Watch Ohio State battle Texas, and watch as the victorious coach gets dunked in nacho cheese.

How I Met Your Mother

8:30 (CBS)

It’s a repeat of this season’s opener, which means you can relive that glorious month that was September 2008.  Hey, remember when McCain suspended his campaign?  Is there anyone cooler than Michael Phelps?

Late Night

Kate Hudson is nearly famous on Letterman, Terry Bradshaw keeps hoping Failure to Launch 2 will sustain his acting career on Leno, Benicio del Toro is on Conan for 5 hours, Richard Lewis is the guest from hell on Ferguson, David Gregory meets the fake press on the Daily Show, and John King continues to stalk the Comedy Central crowd on Colbert.

OMG TV: Wither Snoopy?

Posted by Jeff in , , , , , , , , , ,

8:00 – It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Let me preface this by saying that I love Peanuts, Snoopy, Charles Schulz and all that good stuff.  That being said, the comic strip is starting to disappear from newspapers, the voice of Snoopy died last month, and Linus had that unfortunate anti-semitic DUI incident.  How much longer does the Peanuts franchise have?  Do kids these days even know Peanuts?

8:00 – House (FOX)

Look, nothing’s going to beat last episode’s hot-naked-lesbian action, or last episode’s Wilson-back-in-action action. Tonight’s character scuttlebutt involves Cuddy adopting a baby or something.  Adorable!  But it sure ain’t lesbians.

8:00 – NBA Basketball: Cavaliers at Celtics (TNT)

King James faces the reigning champs as a new season of the NBA gets underway.  Stick around after for the Trailblazers at Lakers, and watch the hilarity as Greg Oden busts his knee for the season two minutes into the first quarter.

Late Night

Regis Philbin is on Letterman, Seth Rogen and David Gregory are charmingly everymannish on Leno, Tina Fey rekindles her romance with Conan, Steve Martin calms his happy feet on Jon Stewart, and Sherman Alexie does whatever authors I’ve never heard of before do on Colbert.
