Jingle All the Way (Hallmark) — From Daemon’s TV: “A spirited Husky puppy looking for a home at a Christmas tree farm instantly bonds with a young boy visiting with his parents. As the boy rides away, unable to keep him, the pupescapes and embarks on a snowy journey to find his friend again.” You had me at “husky puppy.”
The Walking Dead (AMC, Sunday) — Fall finale. It’s the last new episode until February, so enjoy your zombie ownage while you can.
Boss (Starz, Friday) — On a night when the networks are airing Hollywood blockbusters and everything else is in reruns, Starz is airing a new episode of its struggling drama.
The Simpsons (Fox, Sunday) — John Slattery (Roger Sterling on “Mad Men”) provides lends his voice to an executive who teaches Homer how to be a corporate account suit. I know most die-hard “Simpsons” fans no longer watch it, but the last two seasons have been a bit of a renaissance for the show.
Shark Attack Experiment: LIVE (Nat Geo WILD, Friday) — This may be your first and only chance to watch humans get mauled by sharks on live TV. And while I’m on Team Shark all the way, I’d hate to see the Bikini Shark Bait girls lose one of their lovely legs.
Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse (TBS, Friday) — Series premiere. A fresh and necessary new take on Perry’s film Why Did I get Married? I guess this is what happens when networks don’t make sitcoms about black people.
Kourtney and Kim Take New York (E!, Sunday) — Season premiere. Kim got a ton of bad press for her sham marriage to Kris Humphries, so naturally the purpose of this season will be to paint Humphries as a lousy husband. I’m sure it will be a completely fair and authentic portrayal.

Can they really be called “die-hard fans” if they haven’t kept watching for the past two seasons/ if so, Simpsons’ fans are the wussiest ‘die-hard” fans ever.
walking dead fall finale? is this when frank darabont got canned? so the next series of episodes is sans darabont?
Jenner/Seacrest Scam Part II – Kris Humphries is part of it – (the bad guy) bought/ paid for. If Kardashian-generated publicity is true we’re going to see how badly he treated Kimmie – if you’re stupid enough to tune in. If he plays his part well, sympathy goes to poor Kimmie and the family once again takes the public for a ride while making millions and laughing at the stupidity of those who watch their shows and buy their products.
More like enjoy a bunch of people sitting around and talking about how to find some little girl that’s been missing for 72 fortnights in zombie infested wilderness.
So will something actually happen on Walking Dead this week then? That’d be neat.
@crowder : yes. This is the last Darabont episode.
As long as it’s not the last Lauren Cohan episode, I’ll be happy. I hope when the zombie apocalypse hits i can get me some horny farmgirl action.
It’s a shame Boss hasn’t found a wider audience. Not that being on Starz hurts its chances. *rolls eyes*
Everything about it is superlative. The acting, the story, the drama, the titties…
Matt, have you watched The Walking Dead this season?
There is absolutely NOTHING to enjoy, and very little zombie ownage.
(There’s quite a lot to make fun of/being irritated at though.)
Also, is Boss really worth it? I had hard a time going through the pilot and haven’t catch up since.

Starz really is the new Skinemax. Only that channel could take a show about Kelsey Grammar’s struggle to control Chicago politics and wind up with something with 4-5 steamy sex scenes in each fucking episode.
When the gubernatorial candidate and the hot blonde aide went at it in public for the fourth straight episode, my wife asked “Why are they doing that?” “Because this is Starz, the home of Spartacus: Tits and Ass, of course.”
I have to agree that Walking Dead isn’t as great this season. There’s been a few cool zombie kills, but things have been moving so goddamn slow. Here are some things you probably don’t care to read that I feel about this season: 1. Andrea is boring, maybe she’ll be a little cooler now that she can shoot and isn’t trying to kill herself. But I was FURIOUS when she shot Darrell. That smug look on her face when she thought she’d killed a zombie, I could have slugged her. Dale fucking told her not to do it. 2. Shane is annoying, I wish he’d either leave or start being less of a dick. 3. Sophia… bleh. I don’t even care about the kid anymore. They’ve spent this whole season dicking around in the woods. If she was honestly that stupid to wander off and not stay near where Rick told her, she deserves to be walker-bait. I don’t want to say “obviously they’ll find her alive” but..obviously they’ll find her alive. 4. Herschel (sp?) really needs to get got. Pushing out the survivors, keeping secrets, believing that the walkers are still people in need of a cure… Don’t see this ending well for him, and I don’t want it to. That’s not a complaint I guess though, since I’m sure something will happen in the finale. 5. I hope Glen gets more play beyond “the scavenger and quick little guy”. I’m glad he’s been bumping uglies with cute hick chick, though. 6. Laurie’s lying to Rick also makes me want to slap her… you know, all the women in this show do things that confound me. Maybe that’s actually really good writing at work? Realism.
I really like what I’ve seen of Boss so far.
Which is to say Kathleen Robertson’s boobs on the internet.
Really bummed that “Jingle All the Way” that’s on isn’t the Schwarzenegger/Sinbad classic. I would watch that this weekend.
So, did the sharks eat them?
Remember, Homeland is on Sunday. Watch it.
I’m sure Kris Humphries was a terrible husband, he wasn’t good enough to start on a team that went 24-58 yet he has the gall to call someone else talentless.
Boss is an awesome show. So what if there’s sex, Grammar is awesome on that show. The only unbelievable bit is that Grammar would be breaking bread with all the different neighborhoods and ethnicities in Chicago.
