Ordinarily, when a big summer holiday rolls around (Memorial/Independence/Labor Day), I try to find a list of all the TV marathons that networks roll out instead of airing new programming that people aren’t going to watch. Big-ticket holidays also give me a chance to get on a miniature soap box and say something uplifting about how America, despite its warts, is a damn fine place to live and the best country in the world.
But I don’t particularly feel like doing either of those things right now. I’ve got beer to drink, sunshine to soak up, meat to grill, and fireworks to watch. If you insist on watching television this weekend, HBO’s got the season finale of “Treme” on Sunday, along with another new episode of “True Blood.” Other than that, I got nuthin’. Why are you even looking online for TV to watch, anyway? Everyone should just put their swimsuits on, go outside, and work on their tan. Yes, even the fatties.
Have a great weekend. I’ll be back with more TV news and dog Photoshops on Tuesday morning.

“Everyone should just put their swimsuits on, go outside, and work on their tan. Yes, even the fatties.” The last time I did that, the CIA came by my house and told me the glare from my pallid skin was blinding their spy satellites. They made me go back inside. That’s where my beer was. I was happy.
Independence Day, fuck yeah.
Have a good one GloMos, try not to blow any fingers off while playing with fireworks this weekend.
@UU I think you meant to say “GloBros”…
Celebrate the independence of your country by blowing up a small part of it.
You lucky bastards. You know what the 4th of July is for us? A work day.
Happy Fourth and may blowjobs be especially prevent this weekend. Oh, sorry; and may many “box lunches at the Y” be served (for equal time).
Just my holidy wishes. Thank You.
@Smegga
I believe you got off work recently for a wedding, so no whining
Happy 4th, mofos!
I’ll be back with more TV news and dog Photoshops on Tuesday morning.
I wish one day Matt would photoshop TVs into pictures relating to dogs news and turn the whole system on its head.
Happy Independence Day, or as I call it, bust-my-ass-to-get-a-project-done day so I can take the rest of next week off and have the waves to myself.
I like the sound of GloBros. What hast thou wrought, Danger Guerrero?
@Can’t Use My Real Name Anymore – You guys have it every year. The last big wedding before the William/Kate one was before I was born.
/Continues whining
@Otto
Conveniently, I just caught that episode in reruns a few days ago. I’ve always loved how the storekeeper cuts off once the other patron leaves with a simple “follow me…”
started yesterday…so hungover…must grill…I wish I could conveniently detach my head and leave it in the fridge for a while…HAPPY 4th…definitely overdo it this weekend
Happy Fourth, everyone! And remember, if your neighbor’s flag is smaller than yours, it means he hates America and is with the terrorists. Be a patriot, not a pinhead (because those ARE the only two things you can be). Call Fox News immediately and turn him in. Jesus will reward you with riches for defending His favorite country.
Happy Canada Day!!!
Happy Fourth y’all.
Ah, Fourth of July on a Monday. I’m already nursing my second straight day of being hungover, and we haven’t even gotten to the actual holiday yet.
Apparently Tiffani Thiessen was on something called “Watch What Happens Live” (weekdays, 11pm on Bravo…who knew?) playing a game of ‘Shaved by the Bell’. It’s not nearly as sexy as one would hope.
?Why yes, I have been drinking; why do you ask?
Things I learned this morning:
1. The theme song to HBO’s John Adams sounds a hell of a lot like the theme song to HBO’s Game of Thrones.
2. Budweiser tall boys only get more delicious after three days icing in a cooler.
@Otto– same thing goes for hookers, too.
AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!!

Did anyone watch “Falling Skies” last night? I’ve seen the show twice and that was enough. It is the After School Special version of an alien invasion. It is unbearably cheesy.
Yeah I saw Falling Skies, and I’ve also had enough. There’s just no need for the religious handholding at the end of every episode.
I was enjoying some of it, but too much of the show pisses me off.
Yup, it’s the alien apocalypse set on Walton’s Mountain where only the stupid survived.
Falling Skies is okay, but yeah, it’s super cheesy. And I suspect that it’ll stop being interesting at all once they reveal why the aliens are here and what they’re doing with the kids.
My money’s still on alien/human hybrids.
AEVC again: Yes the characters routinely do incredibly stupid things, there are alot of annoying teenagers, complete lack of urgency, and don’t even get me started on JesusGirl. I’m afraid Terra Nova will be more of the same. What happened to Spielberg?
