Big Sexy (TLC) — Series premiere. Listen, I hate the old fashion industry lie that women have to be skinny-skinny to be attractive. I thought Demi Lovato looked kinda hot at the VMAs, and people called her fat, which I thought was ridiculous. But the knee-jerk, polar-opposite approach where truly obese people embrace their bodies and think they’re attractive because they have “attitude” or whatever — as they do on this new reality series — is just as much of a lie. Their extra folds of skin are gross, they make airline travel worse than it already is, and they’re destined for health problems like early onset diabetes. So sexy! F**k you, TLC.
Pretty Little Liars (ABC Family) — Summer finale. Apparently the eponymous liars are being stalked and manipulated by someone known only as “A.” I’m a 32-year-old man, please don’t make me learn about this show.
Top Shot (History) — I support any and all episodes of “Top Shot” — or any programs or movies — that use a Gatling gun, as tonight’s episode does.
Quirky (Sundance) — This reality program searches for engineers/entrepreneurs with ideas to make new inventions. Wasn’t this already a show on a network? I seem to remember something similar already failing on TV.
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Joe Namath is the first guest on Letterman. It’s always worth seeing him interact with other people because he’s such a stooped, broken old drunk. And yet the man has swagger, I can’t deny that. Elsewhere: jeff Bridges and Snooki on Leno; Will Forte and Amy Sedaris on Fallon; reruns and boring stuff everywhere else.

That paragraph about Big Sexy deserves a standing ovation.
Well done, sir.
Serious question though: Who is Demi Lovato? I clicked that link and I still don’t know who she is supposed to be.
She looks good though, if that means anything.
I hated when BBW went from meaning Anna-Nicole-Smith-sized to fat and bitchy.
@sevechild Demi Lovato is a Disney Channel spawn and she’s gorgeous in that pic.
It’s all a continual part of TLC’s rebranding from “The Learning Channel” to “Tubbies, Lardbodies & Cakes”. It’s scat porn for skinny people.
I really don’t care, as long as they’re not calling themselves “curvy.”
CURVY IS A BODY TYPE, NOT A WEIGHT CLASS. STOP MISAPPROPRIATING IT.
Did someone say Gatling gun? Reminds me of the funniest thing I’ve seen all year: “The Deadliest Warrior” episode last week with Lawrence of Arabia vs. Teddy Roosevelt. Yes, there was a gatling gun that won the matchup for Teddy, but the recreation that included Teddy Roosevelt and Lawrence of Arabia Knife Fighting was my favorite TV moment of 2011. I couldn’t stop laughing. I can’t be the only one.
@Patty – But what about “voluptuous”? Is that okay?
Dude, Bourdain last night ROCKED! Catch a rerun, Wendell Pierce and David Simon are featured. Pierce has a big segment in it and they talk about Treme.
For some of us fat girls are on every night.
Them big girls is be sexy, until you sees them on the turlet
They renamed “Heavy” to Big Sexy…?
My 3 year old (girl) pointed to a chubbo in the supermarket parking lot today and said: “Look that lady has a baby in her belly”….
….a baby cake, maybe…..but no spawn….
…I pretended not to notice and continued loading the Cosmic Brownies into the trunk…..
@Dash Rip Rock; I believe, in this case, that the turlet is no longer visible….
I’m getting a chubby just thinking about Big Sexy.
Like all vapid reality shows about dating, this one presumes to tell us that these women are sexy. It could be a good looking model show about ridiculously good looking people and I wouldn’t find them sexy either. Sexy is subjective, and is rarely ever preceded by big.
@AG; except when followed by “bouncey tits” or “beef curtains.”
*adult onset diabetes
Early onset is the one you get when you’re not a heffer.
I’m guessing “Big Sexy” is filmed at an all you can eat buffet.
They should combine Big Sexy with Americas Next Top Model and cal it America’s Nexty Big Sexy. Everyone loses.
Every Tuesday my daughter invites her friends over to watch that show (Pretty Little Liars). I can tell you that having never once laid eyes on it, I’ve been able to successfully predict the “plot twists” about half the time, much to her annoyance. That’s all you need to know about this show.
I weep for the future.
Oh and about Demi – she thick. That’s not a bad thing
So, now there’s a show about fat chicks…being….fat? Are people’s lives really this empty that they just sit around on the couch with their mouths hanging open, staring at this garbage for hours on end? There is no God. America is doomed.
@Jack. I’m convinced in 20 years everyone will have their computer cameras recording themselves in their house 24/7, and EVERYONE will be a reality star. Everyone will follow everyone on twitter, and everyone will be friends with everyone on facebook. And yet, we’ll all be doing the same thing we do whether a camera is on us or not.
