The Vampire Diaries (CW) — Fall finale. Formerly credible band My Morning Jacket play a high school’s homecoming dance. No less believable than vampires, I suppose.
Vietnam in HD (History) — The final two episodes — “A Changing War” and “Peace with Honor” — conclude the series. I can’t wait to watch this entire series tomorrow during Veterans Day. And even though I’m taking the day off, don’t worry: Danger Guerrero will be in to give you some corgis and a weekend preview.
Community (NBC) — I saw something really cool on Tumblr that compared last week’s gay-riffic episode to one of Stefon’s clubs on “Saturday Night Live.” “The city’s hottest club is COMMUNITY. It has everything: Blogons. Wet wipes. A guy dressed like Tron. Fabulous cross-dressing phenomenon Urbana Champagne. Black Hitler. And what’s that in the corner? Is that Inspector Spacetime? No. It’s an astronaut making paninis. The first 500 people through the door get an ivory toupee.” (Tonight’s episode: Annie moves in with Abed and Troy.)
Thursday Night Football (NFL Network) — Raiders at Chargers. There’s gonna be a live-blog at KSK, but I’m going to miss it because I’ve got tickets to Louis C.K.’s show tonight. Happy birthday to me, bitches.
Braxton Family Values (We) — Season 2 premiere. I didn’t even realize Toni Braxton had a reality show with her four sisters (Tamar, Traci, Trina, and Towanda).
Beavis and Butt-Head (MTV) — Get some TP for your bunghole, because Beavis’s alter ego the Great Cornholio returns in tonight’s episode. When I was 15, I laughed so hard from the “bunghole” line that I cried. I regret nothing.



Wasn’t it Champaign?
By the way, nice job on The Classical piece today, Matt.
Louis CK’s new stuff is great. I was at the show in Baltimore and he killed. Enjoy it.
Boy was I surprised when I read a sentence that began with “I saw something really cool on Tumblr” and ended with a thing that I actually thought was really cool.
Yeah, it was Urbana-Champaign. Just like the city I live in!
And what’s that in the corner? Is that Inspector Spacetime? No. It’s an astronaut making paninis.
nerd on: that could also be an inspector spacetime joke with dr who`s last season finale in mind. Also let´s kill black hitler.
Hey, let’s correct the spelling of a town that can’t spell it’s own name(s) properly and is home to R.E.O. Speedwagon.
On another note Vietnam in HD is wrecking my shit, and your piece on the Classical drove home that these aren’t completely vestiges of the past.
/UIUC allum, allowed to mock Chambana
Nerd On: That’s a real call Argentino made. Double chest slap, double high-five.
MMJ on VD?
Good heavens, I thought I’d missed Michael Jordan (or Michael Jackson’s corpse) doing some sort of mixed martial arts with a venereal disease. Don’t scare me like that.
Community was pretty good last night, but I was disappointed by the lack of giff-able Allison Brie moments.
FYI, I watched the two Vietnam in HD episodes and…wow. Just, wow. I have an ever greater understanding and appreciation of what my dad went through there. Excellent viewing…
