OMG TV: Short people got no reason to live

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

BCS Championship Game

8:15 EST (FOX)

I really don’t care about college football.  Really really really.  Let’s hold Obama to that dumb campaign pledge about revising the way the championship is set up, because we definitely don’t have anything better to be doing.

30 Rock

9:30 (NBC)

Peter Dinklage guest stars!  What?  Who’s Peter Dinklage, you ask?  Why, he’s that guy ⇒⇒⇒

Come on, he was in The Station Agent?

Oh, you were too drunk to remember anything from that movie besides the “funny short guy”?  Well, that’s pretty much all you need to know.

Late Night

Kate Winslet is moody and depressing on Letterman (just like her movies! get it?), Dustin Hoffman hopefully out-explicits himself on Leno, Howie Mandel should not, despite his past television experience, be let near children on Conan, Dana Perino only has a couple weeks left of lying with a straight face on the Daily Show, and Lawrence Lessig pirates “shares alike” bootleg copies of Colbert’s christmas special on, well, Colbert.

OMG TV: Trainspotting and other holiday favorites

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

8:00 – Heat (Bravo)

It’s Pacino vs. De Niro, and don’t worry, it’s definitely not Righteous Kill.

8:00 – I want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown (ABC)

Good God, what the hell is this one?  From 2003, apparently, and it centers on ReRun, the piece of shit from when Peanuts jumped the shark in 1973.

8:30 – How I Met Your Mother (CBS)

I finally did it: I watched an episode of this, Josh’s favorite show, Doogie & The Gang or whatever it’s called.  And you know what?  Not half-bad.  Not half-bad.  Not enough to get me to turn away from Antique’s Roadshow at 8:30, but it was still something.

9:00 – Trainspotting (IFC)

Nothing will put you in the holiday spirit more than mind-numbing tales of crippling addiction.  (There’s some Intervention episodes on A&E too.)

9:30 – Charlie Wilson’s War (HBO)

Tom Hanks fixes Afghanistan!  Philip Seymour Hoffman shouts a lot!  Aaron Sorkin pens!

Late Night

Adam Sandler tells Letterman some Bedtime Stories (get it? get it?), Kate Winslet seduces a 16-year old Leno, Amy Adams and Eddie Izzard both have the privelege of discussing events of the day with Conan, and The Daily Show and Colbert are done for the year.
