Nothing To See Here

SO, um… that happened. Anyway, there’s some different stuff happening tonight; a couple shows got moved around (“Bones” and “30 Rock”) a couple new shows are premiering (“Fairly Legal” and “Perfect Couples”), and perhaps most importantly I’m doing my absolute damndest not to mention any sort of food products that may or may not be made with tortillas and which are most assuredly not the native food of any US commonwealths. Even though I kind of wanted to because Ms.Shahi in the picture over there used to be on “The L-Word” and there’s some really terrible and salacious puns to be made, perhaps some involving specifically flavored kisses but NO! None of that. Here’s your Thursday night TV:

8:00pm: “American Idol” on Fox.

“The Big Bang Theory” on CBS

“Community” on NBC

“Wipeout: Winter Wipeout” on ABC. I’m thinking I might actually watch this. It’s been one of those days where watching people get flung into a pool unexpectedly sounds like a good time.

8:30pm: “Bleep My Dad Can’t Actually Say on Network TV” on CBS

“Perfect Couples” on NBC. Series premiere. I know some of you guys out there like that Olivia Munn lady, and she’s on this show. It looks terrible though, even the website lists one couple as “normal” one as “high-drama” and the other as “perfect.” They sound like casting descriptions rather than a show synopsis.

9:00pm: “Bones” on Fox. Alert! New time slot to accommodate the thing with that person I’m not going to mention anymore. Also, it will probably start a few minutes late so you can watch more terrible singers and heartbreaking success stories.

“CSI” on CBS

“The First 48” on A&E

“Masters of Survival” on Discovery. Series premiere.

“The Office” on NBC

“Police Women of Cincinnati” on TLC

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” on Bravo. First season finale.

“Royal Pains” on USA. Second season winter premiere.

9:30pm: “A President to Remember: In the Company of John F. Kennedy” on HBO. I’m betting Kennedy wouldn’t have quite the same legacy if he’d been alive in the age of Facebook. Hell, he probably never would’ve made it to being president. What I’m saying here is virtually my entire generation is unelectable by current standards. Wheeeee!

“Parks and Recreation” on NBC. Third season premiere.

10:00pm: “30 Rock” on NBC. Alert! Also in a new time slot!

“Ace of Cakes” on Food Network

“Beyond Scared Straight” on A&E

“Brad Meltzer’s Decoded” on History

“Fairly Legal” on USA. 75 min. They’ve been running promos for this forever and so I can tell you it’s about a pretty girl (Sarah Shahi) who gives up being a lawyer for being a “mediator” but still managed to afford both law school and Christian Louboutin shoes. Oh, also, she’s sleeping with Anders only I don’t think he’s Anders in this series.

“Jersey Shore” on MTV

“The Mentalist” on CBS

10:30pm: “Outsourced” on NBC

Late Night Listings

“The Late Show with David Letterman” on CBS featuring Kaley Cuoco, Piers Morgan, and Wanda Jackson with Jack White

“The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on NBC featuring Ben Affleck and the Decemberists

“Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC featuring Ryan Gosling, Kourtney Kardashian, and Ra Ra Riot

“The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” on CBS featuring Maria Bello and Dan Riskin

“Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on NBC featuring Ashton Kutcher, Fred Armisen, Dismemberment Plan

“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” on Comedy Central featuring Kambiz Hosseini & Saman Arbabi

“The Colbert Report” on Comedy Central featuring Chris Matthews

Chelsea Lately” on E featuring Matt LeBlanc, Chris Franjola, Dan Levy, and Diablo Cody

“Conan” on TBS featuring William H Macy, Marc Maron, and Aloe Blacc

Intern Rusty is a Masters student at the University of Miami. You can learn more about her at Rusty’s Ventures. She promises to stop bitching about her cast at least two days after it’s taken off.

I was previously unfamiliar with Ms Shahi, but the power of Google has remedied that!.

Also, Community!!

I had high hopes for Decoded. They don't even listen to each other before coming up with the next level of bullshit.

Woo, Office! Holly is still there! Marry me, Amy Ryan!

Posted by: figgy at January 20, 2011 7:34 PM

Bones! yay! mmmmmm, the better Deschanel.

Wait...Rusty, you're gonna what about Wipe Out? I must know!

[Ha, noted and corrected. Thank you, figgy. - Rusty]

I for one am sick of the casual mocking of blind culture that has become rampant on this website.

You should call this section Pajiba After Light what with how much you hate Mexicans! Yeah! *high fives Carlos*

What the fuck happened here last night? Good thing that clown missed the GG post because I definitely said something about "taco taco, burrito burrito" from "Hennifer Lopayez."

Posted by: Courtney at January 20, 2011 8:20 PM

God, if only that South Park episode had been about burrito-flavored kisses, none of that would have happened last night. Because no one can not love things about burritos, even misconstrued racist jokes.

REEEEEEEEEEEEESE

Aaaaaaandderssssss. I want to watch that show, because the promos have promised me shirtless Anders and that makes anything worthwhile. However, it's on at the same time as 30 Rock.

Thank the gods USA re-runs all of their shows 30 times a week.

The girl in the header looks like if Dr. Cuddy and Allison Brie had a hot baby.

That Perfect Couples show was incredibly obnoxious. I can't imagine many people watching it but that's how I felt about Outsourced too so what do I know? Olivia Munn is awful.

Sarah Shahi - hot.

Sarah Shahi with Damian Lewis - great show. Also FUCK YOU, NBC!

Posted by: Fredo at January 20, 2011 10:53 PM

Mommy and Daddy made up on The Good Wife - I'm happy!

And then Fredo had to go and bring up Life. Now I'm sad.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at January 20, 2011 11:20 PM

What Fredo said. The last ten minutes of Life were some of the awesomest TV ever.

Posted by: leuce7 at January 20, 2011 11:38 PM

three-nineteen, so sorry to have opened the wounds. Still, I can't see Sarah without thinking that we need to see Charlie Crews eating fruit.

Posted by: Fredo at January 21, 2011 12:17 AM

Sarah Shahi is a really nice actress. I like nearly all of the shows that she has acted in.

Posted by: Cammie Imaizumi at January 21, 2011 1:24 AM

It was this photo of Sarah Shahi

www.esquire.com/women/women-we-love/sarah-shahi-pics-0908

that inspired me to write a letter to Esquire declaring my eternal admiration of and devotion to her astonishing hotness, which in turn inspired them to publish it.

Taco kisses?

I'm happy with the haggis-y* ones that Cat gives me.

*not sure if she actually likes haggis.

Well, that picture's made my day. And - after a quick 'Save Picture As...' and 'Print'- my weekend too.

I can tell you it’s about a pretty girl (Sarah Shahi) who gives up being a lawyer for being a “mediator” but still managed to afford both law school and Christian Louboutin shoes.

Exactly what I got from the promos.

Esquire pics: SHE's the one in "Fairly Legal"? Holy crap - that butt is a work of art!

"I had high hopes for Decoded." This phrase should have never existed. I'm on a crusade (conspiracy!) to stop “Brad Meltzer’s Decoded” from ever being allowed to be shown again. I hate everyone on that show, they find out nothing. You learn nothing. It's boring. HATE!

Posted by: e at January 21, 2011 10:34 PM

The endings to Life and Life on Mars (Brit version), any other great endings?
