Video Music Awards (MTV/VH1, Sunday) — Of course, MTV hasn’t played music videos in years, but it’s an annual rite of summer: MTV spends a week praising itself for creating this awards show and remembering all the CRAZY and UNPREDICTABLE moments before airing something that’s less an awards show than it is repeated attempts to create the next CRAZY and UNPREDICTABLE moment for next year’s montage. I’m sure I’ll end up writing about it Monday, unless Hurricane Irene can save me by knocking out New York City’s power grid. Fingers crossed, people. (Video below: cat in a wedding dress doing Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” performance.)
Doctor Who (BBC America, Saturday) — Summer premiere. The more love I see for this show, the harder I dismissively wank in my little corner of the internet. But hey, at least Hitler gets punched.
Man Vs. Wild (Discovery, Friday) — Season finale. Since when is this on Fridays? The season concludes by looking at the average humans behind the camera.
Jersey Shore (MTV, Sunday) — MTV’s airing a new episode to lead into the VMAs. I no longer make the effort to watch “Jersey Shore,” but I’m addicted to MTV’s official Tumblr for the show, which is nothing but endless, sweaty, mattress-throwing GIFs. A+.
George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview (NatGeo, Sunday) — The former president opens up about his decisions following the terrorist attack. It will be almost as intellectual as the VMAs.

Doctor Who hasn’t been good in a LOOOOOONG time, anyone who says otherwise is either fapping to Amy Pond or has a residual girl boner for David Tennett.
BTW: Residual Girl Boner is a cool band name for a lesbian metal group.
Doctor Who looks like some high school student film, I’ve tried, I really have been impartial to past viewings but I had to quit.
Lady Gaga’s cat just copied that video.
Jeez, you can’t even WATCH the Jersey Shore without coming down with something. In the case of those Tumblr gifs: epilepsy.
“fapping to Amy Pond” preeeetty sure you don’t need the show for that.
“It will be almost as intellectual as the VMAs.” What are you trying to start here? This isn’t KSK.

If Tyler from Odd Future is at the VMAs, my money’s on him for the crazy moment. That kid is nuts.
Creating your own GIFs as a marketing ploy is lame.
“Creating your own GIFs as a marketing ploy is lame.”
How about as fapping ploys? Of course a much different site and subject.
There better be a GIF of The Situation Frerotting himself tomorrow morning. I don’t know if it’s Snooki-punch good, but it is pretty amazing.
Most people don’t get Doctor Who. Make the mistake of just putting Dr. Who and it’s just like you are hitler.
Amy Pond is a hottie. Still love it how she was found naked outside of her hotel room.
I think we all wish there were pictures of that.
