Smash (NBC) – Series premiere. As all six loyal NBC viewers can attest, the network has been pushing the mess out of this musical drama. I have made an executive decision that I will watch this show. I have also made an executive decision that Katharine McPhee is very, very pretty (see inset, part of this new GQ profile).
How I Met Your Mother/2 Broke Girls/Two and a Half Men/Mike & Molly (CBS) – The two worst shows in CBS’s Monday night lineup have the number two in them. “Number two” also means poop. I am very perceptive.
Alcatraz (FOX) – Did they ever catch that dinosaur in “Lost”? If I ever caught a dinosaur, I would name him Ozzie.
The Bachelor (ABC) – Apparently Whatshisnose has a date with one girl on a deserted island tonight. I bet he gets lucky. You know, because of “the implication.” Also because these girls seem pretty easy.
Pretty Little Liars/The Lying Game (ABC Family) – “ABC Family, the worldwide leader in dishonesty-based programming.”
Gossip Girl/Hart of Dixie (CW) – As far as I can tell, every male character on “Gossip Girl” is pretty much just Oliver from “The O.C.” And when I say “As far as I can tell,” what I mean is “Based almost entirely on snippets of conversations I’ve overheard while navigating Old Navy.”
Finding Bigfoot (Animal Planet) – SPOILER ALERT: No dice.
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: LL Cool J and Pitbull on Kimmel; Sarah Michelle Gellar on Letterman; Mark Harmon and Martha Plimpton on Ferguson; The Rock on Fartface McGee; Kristen Bell and Bret McKenzie (Flight of the Concords) on Conan

5pm at WG, time for a beer!
Maybe this will mean they’ll stop show that same goddamn promo every 5 minutes. Just out of pure spite I hope this Smash fail miserably and McPhee starts her long awaited porn career. A Fella can dream can’t he.
I love Dennis’ implication speech.
I made the executive decision while watching McPhee on American Idol (don’t judge me – my wife watches football with me, I watch Idol with her… sigh… ok, go ahead and judge) that I would never support her in any endeavor. She is the epitome of what I hate in the music industry.
My penis supports the executive decision.
It took me a moment to register “Fartface McGee” as Jay Leno since I’ve totally blocked his existence out of my mind… until now, at least.
Seriously, “Smash” lasts, what, 3 episodes? A television musical about the behind-the-scenes machinations of Broadway? Literally every gay man in America would have to watch this for it to even stand a shot at 4 episodes.
/obligatory “not that there’s anything wrong with that”
I think you are SERIOUSLY discounting this show’s chances. “Glee” is a trash heap and it’s still been on the air for a few years.
I ran into four or five middle aged women this past weekend who were pumped to watch Smash.
Yeah, my wife’s already got the DVR set up to record it. Doesn’t mean she’ll stick with it past an episode or two, but apparently the promos have worked.
/is hoping that the creators have included South Park style subliminal messaging in all the musical numbers.
//seriously they should because even gay men would totally be down with that.
To be fair, DG, Glee started out cute and pretty clever. But it’s been a shit show since about half way into the first season. They killed themselves by focusing on Top 40 singles and theme episodes instead of, you know, plot and consistent characterization.
I like a good musical, though, so I’ll give Smash a fair shot.
i already watch one show just because of an attractive lady, shameless. i’m not making it two, particularly when that other show involves singing.
“Finding Bigfoot” (Animal Planet)
Um, what happened to the site-imposed moratorium on speaking about Khloe Kardashian?
Bravo, sir! Bravo!!
The dinosaur on “Lost” was found. And he was framed on Terra Nova for murder BY DINOSAUR.
If Jimmy Kimmel were to off LL Cool J and Pitbull on his show, he would be the greatest late night talk show host ever to have lived period.
Downloaded the pilot om iTunes despite my hatred of Glee. It wasn’t terrible, Kat McPhee is attractive, I will give it another look.
I’m still amazed that the same actor who played motherfucking Captain Ronald Spiers in Band of Brothers is on the show. Money’s money. I guess.
/Judge all you want.
On Gossip Girl.
Katherine McPhee is certainly prettier than a hooker.
I haven’t seen anything this white and gay since Clay Aiken showed up to my Halloween party dressed as a ghost.
