OMG TV: Paging Dr. Braff, Dr. Braff to the cancellation ward

Scrubs

9:00 (ABC)

Remember back when everyone thought Scrubs was finished because Zach Braff had just made Garden State and was now a “filmmaker”? So much for that, eh? New season, new network, two new episodes.

Blazing Saddles

8:00 (AMC)

You know, the whole movie is just one big allegory about the 2008 election. Obama’s the sheriff, Howard Dean’s the governor, uh… Biden’s Gene Wilder… err… Iowa is the horse. Hmm. Let me get back to you.

Rock of Love Charm School With Sharon Osbourne Reunion

8:00 (VH1)

I have no idea what any of those words above this sentence mean.

Late Night

Kevin James is confused for a real live mall cop on Letterman, Queen Latifah finally reveals what exactly she is royalty of on Leno, Kate Hudson is awfully pretty on Conan, Michael Wolff writes books about Rupert Murdoch on The Daily Show, and Matt Miller writes books about somethin else entirely on Colbert.

OMG TV: There’s a fiesta in my pants

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: Presidential flashcards?

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

I’m afraid I need to start with some really terrible news: due to NBC being an absolute corporate whore, Will “G.O.B.” Arnett is no longer the voice of KITT in the new Knight Rider. He’s being replaced by Val freakin’ Kilmer, who has ballooned to such proportions that he’s really only suitable for voiceovers. At least this might free Arnett up for the rumored Arrested Development movie. Onward!

The Oneders8:30! – That Thing You Do! (E!)

Screw you. This movie is fantastic. Steve Zahn at the top of his game, an ambiguously-sexually-oriented Tom Hanks, and look! There’s even a cover band!

9:00 – Lost (ABC)

One of the castaways has the chance to win a million dollars when special guest Regis Philbin winds up on the island! A must-see new episode.

9:00 – Syriana (HBO Signature)

George Clooney’s fingernails had it coming. Stupid sexy Clooney.

Late Night

While Vince Vaughn was famous enough for Letterman last night, his buddy Jon Favreau can only rate a Ferguson appearance tonight. The delectable Kate Hudson is on Dave, as is Jack Hanna (though maybe as a retrospective or something? Didn’t he get a stingray through the chest?).
