The ABC sitcoms are all in reruns tonight, which is the universe’s way of telling you to go to a local pub trivia contest, read a book, hit up your Netflix account, or surf for porn. If none of those choices appeal to you, here are your meager television choices:
Touch (Fox) — Series preview. Kiefer Sutherland stars as a widowed father whose autistic, mute son can predict events through patterns in numbers. The good news? This is a preview episode airing two months before it’s official premiere, which suggests that the network has a lot of faith in it. The bad news? It comes from Tim Kring, the guy behind “Heroes,” so even if it starts strong, it’s likely to fall apart midway through the first season.
CSI (CBS) — It’s Marg Helgenberger’s last episode. Tomorrow, the TV Gods will repossess her plastic surgery.
Royal Pains — Quick! Without looking it up, who was the star of the ill-fated NBC sitcom “Good Morning, Miami”? Mark Feuerstein or Breckin Meyer? And which one was the star of the ill-fated NBC sitcom, “Inside Schwartz”? And is Breckin Meyer the poor man’s Mark Feuerstein or is it the other way around?
Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy: Extreme American Critters (History) — More evidence to support Danger’s thesis that Cable TV is Full of Liars.
Face Off (SyFy) — I had heretofore never heard of this show, but for a reality show, it sounds cool. It’s about a group of prosthetic makeup artists who compete against each other to create prostheses like those found in science fiction and horror films, like the header image above, which is actually a picture of Marg Helgenberger after her plastic surgery has been repossessed.



Breckin Meyer was Schwarz. Man, that show was terrible.

Totally makes sense. We don’t want to overload the viewers after two weeks in a row of new episodes that followed three weeks of old ones.
For real. What the fuck happened to running a full season straight through? All these week on week off schedules really blow.
I watch White Collar, Burn Notice, and Psych, but Royal Pains, much like that one lawyer show where the two guys look identical and that show where the chick is also some kind of lawyer, looks bland and uninteresting. Plus, Franklin and Bash is boss.
I went from White Collar, Burn Notice, Psych, Royal Pains, and even Monk (yes, guilty) down to just Burn Notice. I think they all seemed to have a formula that you could predict every week. Burn Notice had a formula but you couldn’t always tell how they were going to resolve it.
I watch Psych, which makes me laugh and White Collar, which the wife likes because of Matt Bomar.
Used to watch Burn Notice and Royal Pains but stopped watching those because BN never went anywhere, ever. Royal Pains on the other hand has nobody die. He’s a doctor who cannot have a patient die on him for some reason. At least House mixes it up at times and kills patients.
Burn Notice still has me, even though yes, I know that it’ll probably last forever and not much will ever change. And hey it’s okay. I liked Monk too.
WHERE IS DANGER TO DEFEND???
RIGHT HERE. PISTOLS AT DAWN, DUSTIN.
I hadn’t heard of Face Off until the holidays when some of my family were watching old episodes of the first season in a marathon. It actually was kind of cool, like project runway if you were TRYING to make the judges puke.
The banner pic sort of looks like a lady version of the Fluke Man.
(If you just Googled it, sorry for any potential nightmares.)
I’ll watch this Touch on the off chance Kiefer ties the boy to a chair and punches him repeatedly to learn his secrets.
WE DON’T HAVE TIME.
That chick is hiding her fingertips, but her lips give her away — she’s the asshole that ate my Cheetos!
Oh my, Rebecca Romijn looks terrible
Breckin Meyer was in PARTY DOWN. Argument over.

Yea that’s a video of JK Simmons quotes, not Breckin Meyer. But JK Simmons rocks so hard that I had to go with him instead. Shut up. You’re lucky I even picked a Party Down clip from the same episode.
