Ode to the End of the Weekend
By Genevieve Burgess | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (46)
Oh, Sunday. I love that you allow me to sleep in and take excessive and entirely unnecessary naps, but I hate that you portend the end of the weekend. I live through you with the shadow of Monday hanging over me like some kind of dark omen that I can’t escape. At least there’s an interesting football game this week:
7:00 p.m.: “America’s Funniest Home Videos” on ABC.
“Brothers” on FOX in a new time slot. Anybody watching this?
“Football Night in America” on NBC.
7:30 p.m.: “American Dad” on FOX.
8:00 p.m.: “The Amazing Race” on CBS.
“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” on ABC.
“Family Guy” on FOX at a “special time.”
8:15 p.m.: “Sunday Night Football: Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles” on NBC.
8:30 p.m.: “Family Guy Presents: Seth and Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show” on FOX God help me, but I may watch part of this because Seth MacFarlane is kind of hot. Don’t judge.
9:00 p.m.: “Curb Your Enthusiasm” on HBO.
“Desperate Housewives” on ABC.
“Dexter” on Showtime.
“Family Guy” on FOX.
“Keeping Up With The Kardashians: The Wedding” on E!, in case anyone wants to watch a train wreck happen.
“Masterpiece!: Place of Execution” on PBS.
“Three Rivers” on CBS.
“TLC Special: Kidnapped for 18 Years: The Jaycee Lee Dugard Story” on TLC, which is known for it’s classy and thoughtful programming.
“Tool Academy” on VH1.
9:30 p.m.: “Bored to Death” on HBO.
“The Cleveland Show” on FOX, who may as well just hand over their controls to MacFarlane at this point.
10:00 p.m.: “Californication” on Showtime.
“Cold Case” on CBS.
“Mad Men” on AMC.
“Iron Chef America” on Food Network, even though I hate it, since someone mentioned it last week. “Iron Chef America” is why we can’t have nice things in this country; there was NOTHING wrong with the original “Iron Chef” and the American version is a sorry substitute.
“Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew” on VH1.
“Brothers and Sisters” on ABC.

There's nothing wrong with the Japanese version of Iron Chef except that umm.. they finished the show in 1999. So this is just their way of making new episodes in a similar style, and yes it's not as good, but most of the fun in the original Iron Chef is that the dubbing is hilarious.
