Hoarders (A&E) — Season premiere. Tonight’s subject is doll-hoarder Phyllis, and dolls have to be one of the most terrifying things to hoard. Like, the rat-hoarding episode definitely gave me the creeps, but there’s something antiseptic and unsettling about rooms filled with thousands of dolls. All those dead eyes. (image from a previous doll-hoarding episode) Also premiering on A&E: a new season of Intervention.
Nurse Jackie (Showtime) — Season finale. Jackie dodges a drug test and forgets a wedding cake. That actually sounds like a stereotypical-yet-funny premise for a sitcom episode, but don’t worry: Showtime will bleed most the fun out of it.
Countdown (Current TV) — Premiere. Keith Olbermann is back on TV, kind of. Is Current really a channel?
The Bachelorette (ABC) — The adventures in Thailand continue, with eight of the 11 remaining contestants having to face off in a Muay Thai tournament. Now THAT’S a good reality show: a martial arts tournament in which the champion is given a woman to fornicate with.
United States of Tara (Showtime) — Series finale. We may have won this battle against Diablo Cody, but the war is not yet over.
Rebuilding Titanic (NatGeo) — Shipbuilders attempt to rebuild exact replicas of parts of the Titanic using only the methods available when the original ship was built. You won’t find anything more pointlessly elaborate and boring on television tonight.

“You won’t find anything more pointlessly elaborate and boring on television tonight.”
Baseball Tonight get cancelled?
The In Betweeneners premiered it’s second season in the US on BBC America this past SAT. This show is seriously funny. I’m not “sophisticated” enough to appreciate British comedy for the most part. But this show is always worth a few good laughs even for an unrefined American.
Oh, god. It could only be worse if those dolls were clown dolls.
Or Japanese love pillows. That’d be pretty awful, too.
Dolls are cleaner than cats.
But they will not dispose of your body should you die alone in your house. I don’t know what to think.
So Nurse Jackie is a sitcom played straight and Diablo Cody’s faux feminism fails to find an audience? Sounds intriguing, at least Keith Olbermann is off the…WHAT THE FUCK? DIDN’T WE JUST GET RID OF THIS GUY?
I sure hope there isn’t anyone out there who’s hoarding ventriloquist’s dummies. That would give me nightmares for…well, pretty much for the rest of my life.
Is this ‘Countdown’ the same as the one over here? Given letters, told to make the longest word you can while awful music ticks down? Maths Corner?
What took you guys so long? It’s been on here for so long that the original presenter died.
Tig from SoA would love the dolls show.
Sooo, Bourdain re-runs punctuated with a new ‘James May’s Road Trip’ it is.
I saw a clip Patton Oswalt tweeted where he obviously has some influence on the dialogue in his scene, but at the same time I cannot fathom the idea of watching US of Tara even if was the Patton Oswalt Show.
Now THAT’S a good reality show: a martial arts tournament in which the champion is given a woman to fornicate with
Hell yeah! None of this Bachelorette feelings bullshit. It really loses that je ne sais quoi when the girl gets to sleep with the dude she’s actually attracted to instead of the victor.
