“How I Met Your Mother” on CBS at 8:00pm ET.

“Monday Night Football: Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots” on ESPN at 8:30pm ET.

“Hoarders” on A&E at 9:00pm ET.

“Bored to Death” on HBO at 9:00pm ET. I switched up the order of listings (usually by time slot and then alphabetical) to prevent a “Monday Night Football/Bored to Death” joke happening again. It’s cute, but I hate to see such a talented and witty group of people recycle material.

“Chelsea Lately” on E featuring Miss Piggy, Bill Bellamy, Heather McDonald, and Ben Gleib. I’m not sure how I feel about the Muppets making the rounds to the grown-up talk shows and SNL. I guess it’s the producers acknowledging that their target audience is people like me who grew up with Muppet moves and “Sesame Street” and who may or may not have small children. But still, Miss Piggy talking to Chelsea Handler just seems… off to me. Like Kermit doing the “Really?!?” on Weekend Update and talking about fat children. Not in the Muppet spirit.

Please remember to check your local listings for all times and channels.

Intern Rusty is contemplating a new internet moniker. You can find out more about her at Rusty’s Ventures and get makeup tips from her at Hot Ink.

I'm just wondering if Peggy will bitch-slap Chelsey to finally make her drop her boring act of I-don't-give-a-sh*t-about-anything

Apologies Rusty, I almost just ranted at you for doing a cameron crowe themed TV roundup then realised it was dustin stealing your headline set up and me being angry that I got berated for needing the toilet in a standup set.

Oh and to continue my ineffectual rants I am still yet to understand why people born when Cameron Crowe was making films should give a shit... Withholding Almost Famous.

Miss Piggy is who Chelsea Handler took as her inspiration. It seems fitting.
