Louie (FX) – Every Thursday I tell myself that maybe I won’t watch this show because I’m not in the mood to feel uncomfortable, then I watch it and am blown away. (Alan Sepinwall’s take here.) Louis CK is also on “Conan” tonight, so you can watch this at 11pm, then jump over to catch his interview there.
Jersey Shore (MTV) – Despite being a wholly artificial story concocted to drum up publicity, I will continue to follow the Abercrombie/MTV donnybrook like it’s the Cuban Missile Crisis, if only so I can do more bro-y posts about it.
LA Ink (TLC) – Oh hey, this show got canceled today.
Children’s Hospital/NTSF:SD:SUV:: (Cartoon Network) – More comedies should be fifteen minutes. I get more legitimate laughs out of Children’s Hospital than almost anything else on TV.
Man v. Food (Travel Channel) – I covered this on my Tumblr a while back, but the guy on this show who does all the eating challenges must do unholy things to hotel toilets like 5-6 times a week.
Burn Notice/Suits (USA) – Remember yesterday when I said the brother on “Royal Pains” was the most unlikable character on television? I take it back. It’s everyone on “Suits.” I don’t want to be a lawyer, you guys.
After the jump, the video for “Holding Out for a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler, because it is one of the most ridiculous music videos ever and I want to share it with you.

“Suits”* = fetish porn for everyone who reads Above the Law*.
* – denotes something I dislike very much
I’ll see your Bonnie Tyler and raise you one Patty Smyth in “The Warrior.”

…the guy on this show who does all the eating challenges must do unholy things to hotel toilets like 5-6 times a week…
I’m guessing that its in his contract that he’s not allowed to do a “Man vs. Toilet” spinoff.
Where is Matt? Did something happen I don’t know about? Is he playing tractor chicken on the streets of Brooklyn?
Also let’s get serious. Jersey shore is the only thing on tonight.
@ Kung Fu – Matt’s on vacation until Tuesday and I’m posting crappy music videos until he gets back.
Louis CK gives us ugly guys a reason to hope.
Remember when Johnny 5 was racing alongside the docks of NYC after the bad guy in Short Circuit to that song?
That scene alone is better than anything on tonight.
@Kung Fu: What do you mean Jersey Shore is the only thing on tonight? The Eagles and the Steelers are playing in a preseason…
Carry on.
I love Louie, but I actually find myself laughing more each week at Wilfred. It’s very dark and weird, but when it hits it’s funny as hell.
While that video above and “White Boom Boom”‘s nominations are both good… one need look no further than Ms. Tyler herself to find an even more ridiculous video.
Have you SEEN “Total Eclipse of the Heart”.
/tuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn arouuuuuuuuuuuuuuunddddd bright eyes
@Alcoholics Gratuitous
I remember this scene, it was the most glorious scene in existence.

Wait… Children’s Hospital is funny now? I remember the first episode or two I saw was exactly like everything Rob Corddry did on the Daily Show: A couple laughs, but mainly grimacing at all the jokes that miss.
I raise you another Bonnie Tyler:

Ah, guess I should have read PaleHos.
I also liked Klosterman’s take on Louie: [www.grantland.com]
Whats this “TV” everyone is talking about?
