Update: CBS sitcom programming will be in rerun tonight. A special on the storm will air at 10 p.m. EST.
Scare Tactics (SyFy, 7 p.m.) — The horror-prank show returns with a marathon of all-new episodes, including “Pregnant with a Mutant,” “Blown to Green Peaces,” “Barnacle Boy,” and “Touched by an E.T.” Tracy Morgan is the perfect host for this series — any of those could be Tracy Jordan films.
How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8 p.m.) — “Robin is concerned that Barney’s new wingman is a dog.” Nope, not scraping the bottom of the sitcom plot barrel at all. Unless it’s a dog…WITH A BLOG. Then I’m all for it.
Stephen King’s Storm of the Century (Encore, 8 p.m.) — Well, that’s just insensitive.
2 Broke Girls (CBS, 9:30 p.m.) — Cedric the Entertainer guest stars as Earl’s estranged son who hopes to become a comedian. I’ll skip the easiest joke, and go for the slightly less easy one, instead: bold move of 2 Broke Girls to book the big guest stars before November sweeps.
Revolution (NBC, 10 p.m.) — I wrote this entry last night, just in case the power goes out in Brooklyn, where I live, tomorrow, which is now today. Woah. Anyway, even the idea of going a single day without electricity, let alone the rest of my life, like on Revolution, makes me go a little something something. Within 24 hours, I’d be pulling my hair out and screaming, “EVERY LAST MAN FOR HIMSELF.” Someone would murder me soon after.
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Denzel Washington on Letterman; Simon Cowell and Britney Spears on Leno; Chris Rock on Kimmel; Tom Hanks on Ferguson; John Goodman and Padma Lakshmi on Fallon; Krysten Ritter, Blake Griffin, and Bob Mould on Conan; Bob Woodruff on Stewart; and Malcolm Gladwell on Colbert.



I just saw Jim Cantore get sucked off a seawall in Red Hook, NY and die in the water.
I’m sorry, I meant to say I saw Jim Cantore suck someone off on a seawall in Red Hook, NY so he didn’t have to die.
Damn auto-correct. I meant to say that Jim Cantore sucks.
Scare Tactics is my second favorite show. My first favorite is Infarto, TV Azteca’s less inhibited, more poorly produced clone. Also, it sounds like Fart.
I was really into “Storm of the Century” when it was first on ABC. Now I just sort of feel like an abused spouse.
I just read that HIMYM will be a repeat because of the storm or storm coverage from their Facebook Page…. is this true?
I saw that Stephen King movie when I was about ten, and the only thing I remember is one line where a creepy old man says to a kid “You’re too damn short to play basketball, Jimmy”. It’s been a recurring line among my friends since then. Hehehe. Too short.
Homeland it is.
November sweeps started last Thursday, so I guess it wasn’t so bold of a move for 2 Broke Girls.
There was no ’2 broke girls’ tonight ! was there?! I don’t really care but……….
Did Josh Kurp just betray my undying trust and love for him ?!?!?!?!
Due to Hurricane Sandy, CBS decided to air repeats of its comedies Monday night. In the place of Hawaii 5-0 they aired a Hurricane Sandy special. Hawaii 5-0 will air November 5th. Which is funny because it was a Halloween episode.
