Sons of Anarchy (FX) — Part 1 of a two-part season finale. I watched tonight’s and next week’s episodes last night, my last-ever Warming Glow screener. It’s good, but there’s nothing mind-blowingly awesome. I was surprised by how neatly certain plot lines got tied up, but other than that all of the notes sound pretty familiar: Gemma schemes, Tara goes crazy, secrets are revealed, and the neutralization of one threat to the club only results in a new threat. Oh, and Lincoln Potter turns out to be a lot cooler than I thought.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show (CBS) — D’oh! I already uploaded the “Sons” banner picture, thus ruining a perfectly good excuse to post pictures of supermodels in ridiculously ornate lingerie. Ah well, inset photo it is. Also featuring performances from Kanye West, Maroon 5, and Cee-Lo Green. (hi-res of Miranda Kerr here)
New Girl (Fox) — Jess (Zooey Deschanel) starts a handbell chorus for teenagers, thereby guaranteeing they will never be popular. I’m not sure if Justin Long is still around in tonight’s episode, but I certainly hated him exactly as much as I expected to in the Thanksgiving episode.
Man vs. Wild (Discovery) — Bear Grylls takes you behind the scenes of the series. I’m guessing the revelations DON’T include him showing the nice hotels he stays at. Zing!
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (CBS) / Scrooged (AMC) — Between these tonight and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” last night, we are now only A Christmas Story away from all the truly great Christmas programming. I was legitimately terrified of the Abominable Snowman when I saw “Rudolph” as a kid.
LATE-NIGHT GUESTS: Kathy Bates and Jay Mohr on Leno; Shaquille O’Neal on Kimmel; Margaret Cho on Ferguson; Betty White on “The Daily Show”; Nathan Fillion and Morrissey on Conan; and Jesse Eisenberg and Piper Perabo on Fallon (I desperately want musical guest Neko Case to sing “Can’t Fight the Moonlight”).

Lincoln Potter, you mean.
Jesus, who let this newbie even post here?
I had a poster of Cornelius Yukon in my room. I loved that motherfucker.
I for one am disappointed Matt didn’t post full spoilers to SOA so we could have one last crazy bitch-fest before he leaves.
Or Yukon Cornelius. Goddamn I’m tired.
Nathan Fillion and Morrissey on Conan holy shit thats one hot ticket!
Bear Grylls can take me anywhere he wants.
Fixed it, Otto. The writer responsible for the error has been canned.
I was more scared of the sound Yukon Cornelius made when he licked that ice pick.
Since the last VS show I’ve sinced moved in with my fiance- for those living with their respective lady friend, what’s policy on recording the show? I’m guessing the policy is ‘don’t’ but just want to make sure.
If Neko Case sang “Can’t Fight the Moonlight,” it would immediately become the most-played song on my iPod.
Time for Raging Rudolph! The MadTV Christmas Classic. Yukon Don Corleone warms my heart.
I still don’t see the appeal of New Girl, especially in light of the Working It post. That may be the most insulting sitcom idea, but New Girl seems to me not to be far behind.
I always wanted to see a Yukon Cornelius live action film. Gene Hackman would’ve been perfect.
A Christmas Story >>>>>>>
A Muppet Christmas Carol doesn’t get enough love.
They’ve been dropping hints about Linc Potter all season, like didn’t he ride a motorcycle in the season opener? Either way I’m prepared to be disappointed despite your hopeful hinting.
that is a tremendous ass, Ms. Kerr, you and your personal trainer are to be commended…Also, SCROOGED! is on tonight…best holiday film EVAR!
Yukon Cornelius carried a knife and a gun. Bad ass and sad that a children’s cartoon character in this day would never be allowed to carry a gun.
They blurred out all of the wardrobe malfunctions in the VS show. I mean, Jesus H. Christ, why did I even bother getting HD TV then?
@UU -
Not only does he carry a gun and a knife, but he had his sidekick rip out all of the abominable snow monster’s teeth and then pushed that bastard off of a cliff. Yukon Cornelius is one badass cartoon character.
SoA line of the night:
“Because I’m smarter than you, Gemma.”
Spoiler Alert….!!
I may have heard it wrong…..but did Tara say she kept “ATM” receipts in her storage unit???
I rewound and the “captions” had it as “TM”.
Blew my mind.
who gets a receipt from a hooker when you buy Ass To Mouth?
