The Bachelor (ABC) – My “Recently Viewed” on IMDb includes “The Bachelor,” “Toddlers & Tiaras,” Gary Busey, Tarzan the Ape Man, and Jake Lloyd, of The Phantom Menace “fame.” Honestly, “The Bachelor” is the one I feel the most shameful about. (Banner pic courtesy of Forever Alone.)
Castle (ABC) – Do you ever feel guilty about not watching a show, even though an actor or actress you love from another role is the star of it? That’s how I am with “Castle,” which I’ve never seen an entire episode of, because Mal Reynolds, from “Firefly,” is one of my favorite TV characters. Tonight…won’t be the night I tune in, though. Blazing Saddles is on.
BCS Championship Game: Alabama vs. LSU (ESPN) – After tonight, we can stop pretending to care about college football and solely focus our attention on the only pigskin that matters: ARENA FOOTBALL. Are you as excited about the March 9th season-opening clash between the Pittsburgh Power (featuring Ike Taylor, probably) and Orlando Predators as I am? RIP Albany Firebirds.
Mobster Confessions (Discovery) – The episode description reads, “A New York street thug becomes entranced by the power of the Gambino crime family, until they turn on him.” Just once, I want that sentence to end with, “…until they turn on him, to give him some puppies and candy.”
Caged (MTV) – Props to Clinton from Badtvblog for the pic after the jump. “Caged,” a reality show about a bunch of Louisiana kids fighting in, well, cages, could really use an appearance from Castor Troy himself. Or at the very least, the show’s dialogue should be nothing but quotes from Nicholas Cage movies. “PUNCHING ME WON’T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN HONEY.”
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Mark Wahlberg, Heather Morris, and Snow Patrol on Letterman; Janet Jackson (washed up musician – check), Larry the Cable Guy (terrible comedian – check), and Eli Young Band (awful band –check, and mate) on Leno; C-Tates, Ben Flajnik, and Uh Huh Her (that sounds like the worst thing ever) on Kimmel; Howie Mandel and Randy Houser on Ferguson; Mark Wahlberg (again…), Napoleon Dynamite (the cast, I think?), and Surfer Blood on Fallon; David Cross, Seth Green, and Gavin DeGraw on Conan; George Lucas on Stewart; and Melissa Harris-Perry on Colbert.

Castle is an OK show. Having said that I stopped watching it since the ‘will they wont they’ bullshit is a tired mechanic and the whole show is formulaic and predictable. The two main characters are likable, the red head daughter is almost legal, and that is about it.
Are you saying you don’t OWN Blazing Saddles? What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here?
Or is it like the Godfather, where I own it, but every time it’s on I watch it even if it’s edited for TV?
The latter. “They hurt Buddy. LET’S GET ‘EM, GIRLS!”
Josh. Mal Reynolds is your fave and you referred to Cage as Castor Troy —-Blackw-hiteP-lanet.C0MIt’s a person’als place where to- connect with beautiful and excellent people! a nice best place for bla-ck whit-e sin-gles, to interact with each other…no games or extremes in front of true love. .
So are you going to tell us what station Blazing Saddles is on or not?
Only if you tell me where the white women at.
“A wed wose, how womantic.”
Oh, ‘Blazing Saddles’ is on AMC at …8pm?
“It’s twue! IT’S TWUE!”
/may have referred to his pro team as “the Kansas City Faggots” on more than one occasion
The British Shameless series 9 debuts tonight on Channel 4. Thank you Internet *smooch*
I’m not watching LSU/Bama in protest of the BCS monopoly.
Also, I traded my wife “The Bachelor” for “every NFL game on TV regardless of the time or importance.” I’m comfortable with my decision.
It’s probably more the second reason.
Why is ABC showing a rerun?
I mean espn daw horsefeathers
Oh, Josh. Mal Reynolds is your fave and you referred to Cage as Castor Troy. I need my fainting couch. You’ve given me the vapors.
I have no idea what “the vapors” are, so I can only assume you spelled “sploosh” wrong.

I was going to say that it’s a sad night when the best thing on TV is an old movie, but “Blazing Saddles” is better than pretty much anything on TV on any night.
The Layover – Travel Channel: San Francisco (NEW EPISODE)
Holy shit, they showed Tony drunker than I can remember in recent memory.
So far, I’d say learning about the new railroad going through Rock Ridge is better than the LSU/Bama game. It seems that Rock Ridge is getting a controversial new sheriff.
@JoshK, much respect for the RIP shout out for the Albany Firebirds, 1999 Arena Bowl Champs.
‘Touchdown’ Eddie Brown approves of this post…
yes, yes he does.
Never forget.
Where are you now, Mike Pawlawski?
“A New York street thug becomes entranced by the power of the Gambino crime family, until they turn on him.”
Switch the order of those last two words, and you’ve got Bravo’s newest hit show, “Getting Whacked.”
Mike Pawlawski is HOSTING A TV SHOW! This requires a feature interview! [outdoorchannel.com]
“He played for one season in the NFL and went on to play in the Arena Football League for most of the 1990s. Before retiring from the game, Mike also spent a year with the now-defunct XFL.”
I love everything about that paragraph.
