Warehouse 13
9:00 (Syfy or whatever)
How the hell do you pronounce Syfy anyway? See-fee? Si-fi? Syuff-fuff? Sikkle-fickle? Series premiere of a new Soff-foff original tonight, be there!
Burn After Reading
8:00 (HBO)
Many like to pan the Coen Bros. when they dabble in comedy, but how can you not adore Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s performances in this film? And J.K. Simmons!
South Park
9:00 (Comedy Central)
It’s been a rough day on all of us what with the Michael Jackson Memorial and, more importantly, the Michael Jackson Memorial Coverage. Unwind with a little time in the cruder parts of Colorado.
Late Night
Samuel Motherfucking Jackson and Entourage’s Kevin Connolly are on Conan (with Andrew Bird), Brüno desecrates Letterman’s set, and then I hope you liked last week’s Stewart and Colberts the first time, because they’re on again!

The best $5 you can spend in Los Angeles on alternating Monday nights would of course be Human Giant performing at the UCB Theatre. Tonight’s show featured a most excellent live DVD commentary on Rambo featuring, among others, Stallone’s fluffer. Nice.
Many, many more links after the jump. Keep reading

8:00 – Rocky III (AMC)
Announcement from AMC: In light of yesterday’s historic election results, the end Rocky III has been reedited to let Mr. T win. That is all.
10:00 – South Park (Comedy Central)
Matt and Trey chime in with some election humor. Election humor? That is so yesterday. And the 700 days before it. New national meme: hobo humor. (Side note: Gawker runs down some of South Park‘s past forays into Doonesbury territory.)
10:30 – Chocolate News (Comedy Central)
Giving David Alan Grier’s show another week isn’t just compassionate charity, it’s an investment. Because if we keep watching, it has to get better, right? Right?
Late Night
Tom Brokaw calls the election on Letterman, Samuel L. Jackson yells a lot on Leno, Dennis Hopper has an acid flashack on Conan, Fox News flack Chris Wallace flacks on the Daily Show, Ambassador Andrew Young retains his title despite not being an ambassador since the gosh darn seventies on Colbert.

8:00 – Barack Obama’s Variety Funtime Half Hour (NBC, CBS, BET & Fox)
When flush with cash, some presidential campaigns blow $150,000 on outfits for a former beauty queen yokel. Others buy up a half hour of network time. New York magazine and SNL have both weighed in with their predictions, but the real question is, why isn’t this on ABC? Is Obama going to pretape his message so he can catch Pushing Daisies?
8:37 EST – World Series Game Five… again (Fox)
Hopefully. If this crap in Philly keeps up, we’re going to have to send in FEMA. Then again, on the bright side, we at least get some hilarious Selig faces everytime he has to explain another dumb aspect of this dumb series.
10:00 – South Park (Comedy Central)
Picking up where last week’s excellently Peruvian Flute Band themed episode left off, the town goes all Cloverfield as hamsters invade. Sure, why not.
Late Night
Alec Baldwin hopefully looks less creepy than he does on his book cover while visiting Letterman, Sarah Silverman attempts to avoid another London incident on Leno, Tracy Morgan continues the 30 Rock love parade on Conan, some cat named Barry Hussein is on The Daily Show, and The Wire creator David Simon goes Baltimore style on Colbert.

There’s nothing good on tonight, but when trying to find the least offensive programming, you might stumble onto a minefield. So let’s instead tell you what not to watch:
8:00 – So You Think You Can Dance (FOX)
Two hours! Of crappy dancing!
9:00 – Grey’s Anatomy (ABC)
Two hours! Of whiny doctors!
9:00 – The Devil Wears Prada (HBO)
Two hours! Of stupid New Yorkers being mean to each other or something!
Terrible. Just terrible. Why not try some lovely Pistons at Celtics at 8:30 on ESPN, or perhaps the classic South Park episode “How to Eat with your Butt”, on Comedy Central at 9:30. And then, if you can survive long enough, there’s…
Late Night
Richard Lewis on Conan. Back on the list of things to avoid, you’ve got Sarah Jessica Parker on Letterman and Terry Bradshaw on Leno.
