This image has absolutely nothing to do with any television show that’s on this weekend; I just like the idea of it being at the top of the page until Monday. That’s right: even though it’s Labor Day weekend, there will be new posts on Monday. So come by and look at them and click on stuff, or eventually people will stop blogging on holidays. You don’t want that to happen, do you?
Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam (Disney, Friday) — The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato make a final musical appeal to tweens before the Jonases enter complete obscurity and Lovato becomes a club-hopping starlet famous only for upskirt and nip slip photos snapped by paparazzi. Wait, did I just write “DEMI LOVATO NIP SLIP”? So I did.
The Soup (E!, Friday) — This is how I keep up with all the terrible crap I refuse to watch. It’s an invaluable show for a television blogger.
Tennis: U.S. Open (CBS) — Unfortunately, the heat wave in New York City finally broke, so your chances of seeing someone die on court aren’t very good. BONUS: See the video below for the greatest tennis promo ever made.
College Football (ESPNs, Saturday) — Plenty of games to watch, but the Tebow-obsessed media would like to tell you all about Miami (OH) versus Florida. What’s that? Tim Tebow is in the NFL now? Then the lead story is HOW WILL FLORIDA DO WITHOUT TIM TEBOW?
Jerseylicious (Style, Sunday) — Season premiere. It’s like “Jersey Shore” crossed with that show about hair-cutting on Bravo, minus the charm of “Jersey Shore” and the name recognition of Bravo.
Leverage (TNT, Sunday) — Season finale. Has anyone ever seen an episode of this? What’s it like?
Rubicon (AMC, Sunday) — I’m pretty sure that this will be the last episode of “Rubicon” that I watch. God knows I tried with this show. I mean, I like shows that aren’t rushed, that take their time to develop stories and characters. But “Rubicon” makes “Treme” look like Crank.

Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam: The Jonas Brothers make the jam fruity while the Demi Lovato nip slip makes it tart.
It’s an invaluable show for a television blogger.
Invaluable means valuable?! What a country!
DG puts the lotion…
It was going to be a pure cherry jam but then Kevin got married.
/it’s probably still cherry
DG, that was priceless. +1
Yeah, Rubicon. I should have bailed when it turned out that important spy messages were being sent via *newspaper crossword puzzles.* In 2010. But I keep watching in the futile hope that this will turn out to be as good as Breaking Bad Men.
OK, that US Open video’s pretty damn sweet — and I’m guessing made by Picnicface, who brought you Powerthirst. [www.youtube.com]
Leverage is a rip-off of a far superior BBC show called Hu$tle. timothy hutton can take his oscar and shove it up his ass. he’s no mickey bricks
I caught one episode of Leverage and it was terrible. Oh, the characters bust each others’ balls and Hutton’s character is God Almighty.
/dismissive wanking motion.
The plot and story itself was so generic that I could feel brain cells die. Of course, I was recommended the show by an idiot so joke’s on me for watching the whole episode.
Is Rubicon a show about peeling off and replacing the stickers so that everyone thinks you solved the puzzle? Because I’d watch the shit out of that.
Q: How many hipsters does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 1. Oh, you thought I was gonna say something about an obscure number? Nah, that joke used to be funny, but it sold out.
“Leverage” is decent. Escapist TV with neat and clean episodes. Nothing award winning or ground breaking, but I’d rather watch that than anything else on TNT. I don’t think everything has to be the best thing on TV to watch it.
/Hutton shouldn’t of won his Oscar though.
//But do Oscar’s really matter anyway?
Yea, I gave up on Rubicon a week ago. Seems pretty cliche as your far-fetched “mystery shadow organization that no one knows about somehow sends messages completely in public that any avid crossword puzzler would pick up on.” Ah well, 2 outta 3 badass shows on AMC is still way better than any other channel save F/X.
so how come this is one of the rare uproxx blogs i still don’t need to be a member to comment on?
My Dad and I watch Leverage. It’s not bad, but it’s no Hu$tle.
Yeah jerseylicious and camp rock are awesome. Not.
I’ll be watching mad men.
“Leverage is a rip-off of a far superior BBC show called Hu$tle. timothy hutton can take his oscar and shove it up his ass. he’s no mickey bricks”
O rly? Good to know. I’ll have to get my hands on this cause I’m a pretty big Leverage fan. I mean, it’s a pick-up-and-play kind of series, sure, but I’m entertained almost every week.
Nice, who doesnt just love big KaBooms!

Rubicon blows big boring dicks.
Its true that Leverage is to a large extent indistinguishable from Hustle but its not like Hustle was original in any way in the first place
@pippy
yeah hu$tle didn’t claim to be, hell the first season referenced the sting… what 5 times?
