Lego Star Wars (Cartoon Network, Friday) — Ummm, is it wrong that I think this looks kinda good? I’ve put a preview for it at the bottom of the post — it’s like a more serious version of the “Robot Chicken” spoofs, but with LEGO characters. Shut up, I played with LEGO a lot growing up.
Torchwood: Miracle Day (Starz, Friday) — Yes, I’m deliberately tailoring this weekend preview to win the approval of geeks. Acknowledge my pandering!
Attack of the Show (G4, Friday) — This is the one time of year where “AotS” is actually relevant: when it reports from Comic-Con in San Diego.
Breaking Bad (AMC, Sunday) — *breathes into paper bag*
NTSF:SD:SUV:: (Adult Swim, Sunday) — I neglected to mention that the series premiere of this crime procedural spoof — and logical companion to “Children’s Hospital” — aired last night, so I’m putting this here with the hope that I remember to DVR one of the two replays on Sunday night.
Same Name (CBS, Sunday) — Series premiere. Celebrities meet people who have the same (or almost same) name. In the premiere, David Hasselhoff meets Texas landscaper David Haseloff.
The Hooters 2011 International Swimsuit Pageant (Spike, Friday) — Important.
Top Gear (History, Sunday) — Series premiere. This is the American version, with those guys. You know, whatstheirfaces.
Entourage (HBO, Sunday) — Season premiere. My, but it feels good to bury this at the bottom of the post. ICYMI: the ten douchiest moments in “Entourage” history. I also enjoyed Videogum’s excellent response to the B.S. blind item about the “Entourage” cast saving a girl from being raped.

NTSF was good stuff, you’ll get some cheap laughs but the black guy has an odd scrawniness to him that was distracting. Have a good weekend you humps
I’m just saying he looks like a pre-serum Steve Rogers compared to even Paul Scheer
the B.S. blind item about the “Entourage” cast saving a girl from being raped
So if that’s true, that’s one girl they possibly saved from rape, compared to the thousands that they’ve encouraged to be date-raped by the “bros” who are inspired and guided by the douchebaggery that the show flaunts.
I’m 36 and I still play with Legos regularly.
+12 nerd points to Matt for saying “I played with LEGO” instead of “I played with Legos.” The Danish will threaten an international incident if you say “Legos.”
“Same Name” sounds like a reality-show parody sketch that didn’t get past dress rehearsal on MadTV.
I just got home from Comic Con where I saw the Children’s Hospital and NTSF:SD:SUV panels. During the NTSF panel they surprised us by revealing that they are going to film an episode of the show at the panel. Then June Diane Raphael, Paul Scheer and Martin Starr came and sat in the audience in the row in front of me and filmed a scene. It was insane and awesome, this show is going to be awesome
So we have to look to the Cartoon Network (again!) for our television this weekend?
Holy shit. Omar is coming to Community. Can I get a white high five over here?
We missed.
i bet walt finally dies tonight!
j/k! lol!
I watched the Lego Star Wars and i loved the Darth Vader stuff but after the 2nd time it got boring..
