Justified (FX) – ALERT: In light of last week’s events, the Boyd Crowder Hair Threat Level has been temporarily elevated from “Child Using a Balloon to Produce Static Electricity” to “Cartoon Electrocution.” (NOTE: Writer VJ Boyd will be joining us again for tomorrow’s discussion.)
Dancing With the Stars: The Story So Far (ABC) – Prior to tonight’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars,” ABC is airing this behind-the-scenes special. I guess it makes sense given the show’s popularity, but if we ever invent a time machine, I call dibs on sitting down with TV execs from the 1970s and explaining the concept of an hour-long special about the inner-workings of a show where C-list celebrities compete in a ballroom dancing competition that airs during primetime on a major network.
Raising Hope/New Girl/Breaking In (FOX) – On tonight’s episode of “Raising Hope,” Burt’s candidacy for a position in a church group is at risk unless he can find a replacement seeing eye pig for one of the blind parishioners. That was a fun sentence to type.
NCIS/NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS) – Some friends and I recently had a fun discussion about what show on CBS’s schedule is the most CBS. These two shows were tossed around, as were comedies like “Two and a Half Men” and “2 Broke Girls,” but we decided that “CSI: Miami” was far and away the most CBS show. Feel free to discuss this in the comments.
Con Air (TNT) – I could honestly watch a full-length documentary about Nicolas Cage’s accent in this movie. How he chose it, how long he worked on it, how the other cast members felt about it, what the studio executives thought about it, etc. It’s fascinating that something that terrible got by so many people and into a big-budget Hollywood movie, and I must know more about it.
Storage Wars Texas (A&E) – From TV Guide: “A visit to Lewisville leads to a feud over a player piano.” Jesus, what is this? 1890?
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Ashton Kutcher, Justin Bieber, the latest “DWTS” cast-off, and All-American Rejects on Kimmel; Jason Sudeikis on Letterman; Mitt Romney and Megan Hilty on Leno; Shaq and Lily Collins on Fallon; Josh Hutchinson and Simon Pegg on Conan.



I didn’t think much of the folks on Storage Wars (and I live right in their back yard). But Storage Wars Texas is more redneck than that show about hillbillies who are millionaires. (You DO know there’s a show about hillbilly millionaires, right?).
Storage Wars finds: Lost artwork, vending machines, guitars. Typical unit can go for thousands.
SW Texas finds: Dirt. Grime. Trash. Typical unit goes for $70.
I’d discuss the “most CBS” thing, but I think you hit it. CSI: Miami has 1)Archetypal overacting hero, 2)Police Procedural, 3)Initials in the name, 4)Is a spinoff, Is watched by NOBODY you know yet has ratings better than your favorite shows, 5)Inspires a thousand sarcastic, non-loving memes.
Nailed it, especially #4.
And when do Dickie and Boyd finally draw blowdriers at 20 paces?
Breaking In is great, but if the hottie thief is really gone from the show, I might not continue to watch.

I need to know where we’re placing Dickie Bennet’s Hair Threat Level.
It’s currently at Pedostache, but with warnings that it might escalate to Civil War Re-Enactor.
Really, ’cause I thought it was a eurotrash club rat. I need to get with it
but his hair is somewhere between crazy soccer hooligan and down and out meth head.
Put. The Bunny. Back. In. The Box.
I believe Nicolas Cage had the same accent coach as Reinier Wolfcastle in Radioactive Man.
“Up and atom.”
“Up and at dem.”
“Up and ATOM”
“Up at at DEM”
“UP AND ATOM!”
“UP AND AT DEM!”
“…..Better.”
I enjoy Raising Hope and New Girl.
That is all.
Are we all still on #TeamBartender? Just making sure. I’m also looking forward to the spinoff starring Dickie Bennet’s Hair and Boyd Crowder’s Hair in a madcap comedy thrillride adventure.
If there is one thing to be said for Jeremy Davies….that mother fucker grows the best mustache this side of everyone’s weird uncle.
I tell myself Cage’s accent in that movie is proof that Jerry Bruckheimer actually has a sense of humor.
Director: “Hey Nick, can we talk about that accent?”
Bruckheimer whispers loudly: “Shut the fuck up and leave him be!”
Director whispers back: “But it will completely distract viewers.”
Bruckheimer: “Have you read this script?”
If you brought up “Dancing With the Stars” to 1970′s TV executives, you would change the course of mankind as we know it and be hailed as a god of the medium. Imagine that competition? Fred “Rerun” Berry vs. Abe Vigoda vs. Roman Gabriel vs. Cathy Lee Crosby?
Mind. BLOWN.
I am really looking forward to Raylan giving someone his trademark “Bourbon Glare” before blowing him away tonight.
Michael Ironside! Squeeeeee
If Tom Skerritt shows up I’m never deleting this episode
Yeah, I about pissed my pants at that moment.
“What a DICK!”
Best. Quarles shit. Ever.
Not bad for a husky fellow.
I’d like to add an addendum to the Cameron Poe accent discussion, and that is: would any DMV actually approve the vanity plate “AZZKICKR”?
