Outrageous Kid Parties (TLC) – In tonight’s two-part premiere, a mother spends $30,000 on a Willy Wonka themed, pre-school graduation party. I hate that last sentence so much. This show makes “Sweet Sixteen” look like “The Wire.” (Video and more details here.)
Rescue Me (FX) – OW-AH FI-AHS AHHH MORE DANGE-AH-ROUS AND SEXY THAN YOUR-AH FI-AHS!
Royal Pains (USA) – I’ve watched this show like six or seven times, and I’m firmly convinced that the main character’s brother is one of the most annoying characters on television. It’s a miracle he doesn’t get punched in every episode.
Bedbug Apocalypse (Animal Planet) – No thank you very much to this entire piece of business, Animal Planet. More cute animals, please.
Pint-Sized Preachers (Nat Geo) – On tonight’s episode, a 4-year-old preacher is profiled. Yeesh. If I was a preacher at age 4, most of my sermons would have been about candy and what a dootyhead my brother was.
Love in the Wild (ABC) – Network TV is an absolute wasteland right now. And I’m the guy who just wrote blurbs on some of the crappiest cable shows you could ever imagine, so you KNOW I must be serious.
Conan/Kimmel (TBS/ABC) – Most of the late-night shows are in reruns this weeks, but Conan and Kimmel are new, with guests Paul Rudd and Joel McHale, respectively. That’s right, two of my mancrushes are on TV tonight. If anyone needs me, I’ll be drinking red wine and swooning.
After the jump, my favorite Paul Rudd GIF.




There’s a joke somewhere combining pint sized preachers with outrageous kids parties, but damned if I can find it.
Since Lopez got the axe Conan has been cramming so much content into his show, either out of fear or maybe having more money, that it has really been great again the past 2 weeks. Conan has a not care attitude about him I haven’t seen since his late night glory or last tonight show month.
Chelsea Lately isn’t in repeats. She only keeps me for a half hour and lets me go to bed early. Anne Hathaway.
That’s actually a pretty appropriate headline, because I was thinking of having some Cheddarwurst for dinner tonight.
/wishes he had a Cheddarwurst right now.
Total cocktease with that title, DG. I thought there’d be stuff on grilling smoked meats in the Upper Midwest tonight.
Paul Rudd, much like corgi puppies and Maru, is an endless source of delightfulness.
When I read “Paul Rudd GIF” I immediately hoped it was him swinging around the pole from WHAS. Disappointment averted.
“Dooty”?
I love a good Boston joke as much as the next guy, but Rescue Me takes place in New York.
*adjusts glasses, finishes chai*
So I assume “Rescue Me” is not very realistic? I don’t think a show about a bunch of firemen sitting around and doing steroids, working out, nailing chicks, and rescuing the occasional 80 year old who falls down in the garage would be very riveting.
Yes, Rescue me is set in NY ya fackin tahd – that’s the whole point. Although it should be said that Leary is actually from Bahston and has Irish and American citizenship. Last nights ep was really freakin’ dark. I don’t know if I can watch this season without developing my own special drinking habit.
