OMG TV: Sweet taste of failure

8:00 – Empire Records (Fuse)
Now hear this: no more ‘the quirky neighborhood business is going under, we need to save it!’ movies, ever, ever, ever. If memory serves, however, pre-Bridget Jones Renee Zellweger does play a total slut in this movie, so there’s that.
9:00 EST – NCAA Championship Game (CBS)
Well, we’ve had the enjoyment of watching the dreams of 63 teams be crushed so far, and now there’s only one dream-crushing left to go – but it is a big’un. Watch as one team climbs up to cut down the net, while the other climbs up to hang themselves. (I’m going to meet my suicide joke quota early this week.)
9:00 – Dr. Giggles (CHILL)
I don’t get the Chill channel, and I have no idea what this movie is about, but it earns my seal of approval for what I imagine are obvious reasons.
Late Night
Thomas Hayden Church lets us in on Wings movie version rumors on Leno, Steve Harvey is upstaged by the excellent musical stylings of Hot Chip on Conan, Bob Saget (“That is WRONG!”) hits up Ferguson, Stewart has Nathan Lane, Colbert goes toe-to-toe with Jesse Ventura, and Letterman has the week off (slacker, but apparently he needs the rest).
