Corpses and Vampires and Leno, Oh My!

It has been a hell of a week for me for many many MANY reasons that I’m not going to dump on the good people of Pajiba-land. However, it’s almost over (ALMOST) and since this is my last column of the week, I’d like to take this chance to wish all of you who are celebrating a very happy and fun-filled (but still safe) Halloween. Cheers! Here’s Thursday’s TV:

7:30 p.m.: “World Series Game #2: Phillies v. Yankees” on FOX. Let’s see if the Yankees show up to this one.

8:00 p.m.: “Community” on NBC.

“Flash Forward” on ABC.

“Survivor” on CBS.

“The Vampire Diaries” on The CW (I can not WAIT until vampires hit overload levels and we can stop being inundated by shitty TV shows and movies attempting hop on the vampire craze. Seriously.)

8:30 p.m.: “Parks and Recreation” on NBC.

9:00 p.m.: “CSI: The Mothership” on CBS.

“Grey’s Anatomy” on ABC.

“The Office” on NBC.

“Supernatural” on The CW.

9:30 p.m.: “30 Rock” on NBC (Psssst: I have a confession to make. I don’t watch “30 Rock” because I’m a bad Pajiban. Also I didn’t catch it from episode one and hate picking up shows midway through. Tell me all about how much I’m missing in the comments. I love that shit.)

10:00 p.m.: “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” on FX.

“The Mentalist” on CBS.

“The Jay Leno Show” on NBC.

“Project Runway” on Lifetime.

“Keeping Score: Shostakovich Symphony No. 5” on PBS

“Private Practice” on ABC (which actually starts at 10:01 p.m. because ABC cannot get their shit together with their shows’ timing. Although they’re still nowhere near as bad as Adult Swim.)

Intern Rusty is a Masters student at the University of Miami. You can learn more about her at Rusty’s Ventures.

Pfft. Where the fuck is Fringe anyway? Is Fox on strike or something?

Posted by: Joker at October 29, 2009 7:13 PM

I thought Fringe would be on this week, but Supernatural wouldn't?

Another reason to love Psych: the many times they have ragged on The Mentalist.

Here's something you missed:

Yes, I'm a crazed, obsessed Lost fan and if there is anyone else like me out there - well do I have a treat for you! There's going to be a lost promo for season 6 near the end of FlashForward.

This promo is the only reason I am going to suffer through another hour of the crapfest that is FlashForward. I'm sure it will be well worth it!

Shosti #5? I need to pay more attention to PBS.

Posted by: Rebecca at October 29, 2009 8:10 PM

The South Park yesterday was hilarious, but not as funny as the jack-off machine from Tues- days Daily Show.

Posted by: George at October 29, 2009 8:28 PM

Well the Mentalist stole their show from Psych, but then made it dark. What the fuck is up with that. The great thing about Psych is how much fun they are having with each case. It isn't dark and creepy. It is light, and full of ridiculous pop culture references. Gods, what an awesome show.

Jeff Dunham on 30 Rock. Fuck this.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at October 29, 2009 9:46 PM

So I wasn't hallucinating then?

Posted by: Vermillion at October 29, 2009 9:47 PM

Unfortunately, no hallucination. I may have to shun 30 Rock.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at October 29, 2009 9:52 PM

Yeah, Jeff Dunham on 30 Rock is a major boo. But I think the fuck yeah! of Betty White will overpower the aww balls! of Jeff Dunham.

Posted by: stewey at October 29, 2009 9:55 PM

Did Dunham write his own "jokes"?

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at October 29, 2009 9:57 PM

DONAGHY RULES! FUCK THE PUPPET!!!!!

Posted by: Vermillion at October 29, 2009 9:58 PM

Lets see:

Plus: Betty White; trying to kill Jimmy Fallon; lampooning the "real Americans" idea; that fucking puppet ripped to pieces.

Minus: Dunham at all; Jimmy Fallon making me laugh just a little.

Hmmm, barely made it.

Posted by: Vermillion at October 29, 2009 10:01 PM

I was kind of horrified at Jeff Dunham being there, but Jack's righteous indignation at the people of America who watch that shit made it better. What the hell is wrong with you people, indeed.

Posted by: Christina at October 29, 2009 10:33 PM

BETTY WHITE WAS ON 30 ROCK.

And I almost fainted from happiness.

Posted by: figgy at October 29, 2009 10:43 PM

Yes, Tracy! Kill Jimmy Fallon! Kill! Kill!

Posted by: figgy at October 29, 2009 10:53 PM

I've only ever seen one episode of 30 Rock, and that was back in season one. Didn't hook me. But a buddy of mine from college is a writer's assistant on the show, and he just let us know that on tonight's episode, he's playing the mandolin in the bluegrass song at the end. Almost enough to make me watch (though I'll have to hulu it, cause I've already missed it live).

Hey, Joker, FabMax, did you see that little thing called the World Series? On Fox, the same network as Fringe? Work it out.

The thing about Community is that Britta is the "hot" one, but I keep looking at Annie and I want to do some very kinky shit to her.

So I IMDB the actress who plays her, Alison Brie, and lo and behold the girl has a fantastic rack. They need to put those chichis to work. Look at these breasteses

Wow, 30 Rock made fun of Stone Mountain. I hiked around Stone Mountain today. Saw three grubby fishermen and a Kevin Youkilis lookalike walking a muzzled pit bull. Yeah, it's ripe for the picking....

Amen. She is quite uptight and proper (which begs for defilement), while being just off-kilter enough to make it interesting. Plus, she likey the dark meat ;).

Britta comes off as too self-important. Funnily enough, I feel like Britta is just like Jeff, except Jeff knows and accepts he is full of shit. She has yet to realize that about herself.

Posted by: Vermillion at October 30, 2009 12:18 AM

Exactly, V.

Posted by: L.O.V.E. at October 30, 2009 12:38 AM

Didn't anyone else pick up on the fact that "30 Rock" was making fun of Dunham? Think about it...

I don't get FOX here (thank the gods). Also: Fuck Baseball.

Sue--not even a Lost promo is worth sitting through another episode of Flash Forward. Especially since I'm sure they showed that lame ass gunfight in slow motion over and over again. And how exactly did those four men emerge from an exploded car without even one of them being on fire? Or dead? Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I called my sister last night and she informed me that she couldn't talk long because she was watching Flash Forward and the commercial break just started. I pointed out to her how fucking retarded the last episode was and all the reasons she should never, ever watch the show again. Oh, and happy birthday.

That puppet thing--does anyone, anywhere, ever enjoy ventriloquists? The only puppet worth watching is Franklin from Arrested Development.

The local NBC affiliate is making their anchors pimp the Leno Show every damn morning now, so despite NOT going anywhere near NBC in the evenings, I'm still forced to hear snippets of his lamest jokes while I get ready for work. I don't think I've ever heard of news anchors doing this before. "Hey, if you missed Friends last night, Joey totally got it on with his sexy new roommate! Find out if they went all the way on tonight's episode! Also, some people died in a car bomb explosion, and the forecast for the weekend is looking good!" It just seems utterly bizarre and tacky to me, especially since Leno is the only show for which they do this.

Posted by: DeadBessie at October 30, 2009 8:17 AM

(Sigh).. I have a one year old, so I never get to watch tv at night because I am busy chasing her around and trying to get my house put back together after the Mistress of Mayhem has been put to bed. I apparently also cannot remember for the life of me to set my DVR to record any of this stuff which is why I have a DVR in the first place.

Posted by: legib at October 30, 2009 11:03 AM

30 Rock has been going downhill since season two, anyway. I still watch it, but I barely ever laugh.
