The Hour (BBC America, 9 p.m.) — It’s already aired in Britain, and many of the hardcore fans of the splendid The Hour have probably already seen the entire run via other means, but for those of us who still watch British television in America the old fashioned way, The Hour wraps up its second season tonight, and according to all the Brits who yelled at us for leaving The Hour finale off of year-end lists (because it hadn’t aired yet), it’s gonna be a remarkably good (maybe devastating?) episode.
Whitney/Guys with Kids (NBC, 8 p.m.) — I kind of wish that the networks would give us a longer break before they return with their first-runs, so we can continue to catch up on what we missed in 2012, but since this is Whitney and Guys with Kids and I’m not watching them anyway, I say: Have at it. Burn them all off.
American Horror Story (FX, 10 p.m.) — In tonight’s episode, we meet the Devil. So, it should have a lot in common with every episode of Whitney.
Nashville (ABC, 10 p.m.) — I gave up on Nashville a couple of episodes ago because the damn show is too slow-moving, so I can’t imagine anything worse than a clip-show catching you up on all the nothing that happened during the first half of the season?
Top Chef (Bravo, 10 p.m.) — It used to be that I never missed an episode of this show, but with all the spin-offs, I kind of grew weary, and I haven’t even checked in this season yet. How’s it faring so far? Should I bother?
LATE NIGHT LISTINGS: Kathy Griffin is on Dave, probably to talk about going down on Anderson Cooper; Kevin Hart is on Leno; Fred Armisen sits down with Fallon; and everything else is still in reruns.

The Hour finale gave me FEELINGS. I can’t keep them all bottled up. Someone please be my friend and watch this damn show.
This season of Top Chef is better than the last few, in my opinion. It has gotten a little gimmicky the past few episodes, but nothing like the Texas edition
I completely agree. My only complaint is that they brought back Josie, who is just the worst. But at least this season has other likeable contestants. Whereas Top Chef: Texas was made up almost entirely of terrible, terrible chefs and people.
Also fuck the guy with the handlebar moustache that can’t figure out how to cook pork.
I think this season is a really good one so far; I especially liked that they had an elimination challenge that was a part of CHRIS PRATT AND ANNA FARIS’ BABY SHOWER. I got so giddy during that episode. Also, I agree about Josie – when they showed her “professional” football picture I shivered in disgust.
I still like Top Chef and think the new season is pretty entertaining. I don’t watch the spinoffs specifically so that I don’t get burned out on the original.
Top Chef Masters is better than regular Top Chef.
Top Chef Masters has a lot less reality competition bullshit (arguing, name calling, bitching etc…) and a lot more mind blowing food made by all brilliant chefs. So it’s a lot better as a cooking show, but as a reality competition, some might find it boring.
And yes this season is pretty fun, I don’t eat fish & seafood though and they’ve been cooking way too much of it (being in Seatlle and all) so it’s not too appetizing for me. But the return of Stefon and the asshole veteran chef from Dallas are pretty entertaining.
I like Stefon now. And I’m kind of rooting for the old asshole from Dallas (John). Also, what is the deal with Stefon and Kristen (the hot asian chick)? I guess they’re just super flirty with each other? It’s kinda weird.
I agree with everything you guys said. I’ve been rooting for the Asian chick and “Most hated Chef” guy, and I’ve been the on the Stefan bandwagon since the beginning.
And JR is right about Top Chef Masters being about the food. That’s what I prefer about it. If I want to watch dumb semi-scripted reality drama, I’ll watch Duck Dynasty.
Top Chef has been really good, plus the chick who continues to win is a cutie.
I like Top Chef, and I also watch Top Chef: Last Chance Kitchen online (where the chefs who are eliminated cook for a chance to get back on), and I’m rooting for CJ there. Because I’m always going to root for a super tall dude with only one ball.
What, no Amish Mafia? Get with the times, man.
They be gettin’ crazy
Gettin’ buggy racy
Plus, the main guy kinda looks like Chaz Bono. In other words, it’s fucking awesome.
Also, Moonshiners is pretty great. It’s kind of like Gremlins. Think of hillbillies like Mogwai, and moonshine like water. Pour enough of it into them, and they hatch into these little Gremlin-like creatures that speak in subtitles.
*durrg blurgt hzzt giddyup y’zow*
We make moonshine up in dem dar woods, up in der.
