Chuck (NBC) — Steve Austin, Stacy Keibler, and Nicole Richie all have guest roles. That marks the first time I’ve ever written “Steve Austin” and “Nicole Richie” in the same sentence. It’s also a huge downgrade from last week’s guest star, Old Spice spokesman Isaiah Mustafa.
Real Housewives of Atlanta (Bravo) — Season 3 premiere. Quick tally of the “Real Housewives” cancer — Orange County: six seasons. New York: three. New Jersey: three. Atlanta: three. D.C.: one. Presently in production: the first season of a Beverly Hills edition. Guhhh. Fortunately, this cat picture can cheer me up.
Dancing with the Stars (ABC) — David Hasselhoff and Michael Bolton were the first people voted off. Well played, America.
The Big C (Showtime) — Bryan Cox guest stars as Laura Linney’s cranky father, proving that Showtime knows a hell of a lot more about casting grump old dads than CBS. Lookin’ at you, “Bleep My Dad Says.”
Mike and Molly (CBS) — The DVD of Wet Hot American Summer has a special cut of the movie that adds fart noises throughout the film. I can’t wait for this show to get the same treatment.
The Event (NBC) — This has been getting some buzz over the last couple of weeks, but I’m going to keep ignoring it for now. Monday nights are football-watchin’, anyway. (Psst, live-blog of Jets-Patriots-Dolphins at KSK.)
Money Hungry (VH1) — Season finale. Hey, remember this show? Summer TV feels like a hundred years ago.

I’ve actually found Mike and Molly to be tolerable.
It’s at the very least the best of the new offerings of sitcoms we’ve tried watching. The supplementary characters are pretty trite, and most of the jokes are fat jokes….but who doesn’t love fat jokes?
Bryan Cox guest stars as Laura Linney’s cranky father
I would have preferred the former deranged linebacker, Brian Cox, but whatever.
I don’t trust The Event, or anything that’s trying to be the next Lost. Pass.
Also, UGH, Patriots. The only team I hate as much as Duke.
jets-pats was sooooo two weeks ago…
but really, it was. i can see how you’d get jets and dolphins confused, though. they are both silver, have fins, and use sonar.
Maybe it wasn’t the game he got wrong, but the part about the blog being “live”.
I think Derpinwall described The Event best as “a confidence scheme.” Seriously guys, keep watching it! There’s a payoff!
“The Event” is a crappy name for a confidence scam. If you’re going to be cryptic, at least add a few adjectives, like the classic “Jamaican Mechanic” and my personal favorite “The Tennessee Pigeon Switch.”
Have you SEEN Stacy Keibler’s legs?
Whoops, sorry. Fixed.
Can’t get into Mike and Molly, I want to like it but can’t. I like Chuck especially Agent Sarah…but why Nicole Richie? why? She sucked when she was a guest before (I have to omit star)…But I am giving Hawaii Five O a chance and it’s slowly growing on me…Don’t forget…Rules of Engagement is on tonight…what? it’s funny, the assistant to Spade is funny…so is David Puddy…high five
dachsund, I hate to admit it, but I actually chuckle at Rules of Engagement too. The whole Bank thing was funny last week “What do you know about scoliosis?” “Nothing.” “Well read up. Because they think you have it.”
On one of our very first dates (possibly 3rd?) – I made my wife dinner and we watched Wet Hot American Summer. She laughed and laughed and let me get to Second Base.
I knew right then she was the one.
I don’t think they’ll have to add a fart track to Mike and Molly. They just have to tell the sound editors to stop silencing them in post-production.
Chuck is brutal.
I have to admit I laughed at this week’s trailer for “Rules of Engagement.”
“We have to be on our best behavior for the adoption agency.”
“Well if they can’t accept the real me, then I don’t want to buy one of their used babies.”
I still didn’t watch though.
