Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2010’s being good to you so far. At the moment I’m watching the Ravens attempting to make it into the playoffs and eating some sushi, so I have to say that it’s going well for me. I hope everyone enjoyed Sarina’s version of Pajiba After Dark, as she was generous enough to take over for me while I did silly things like enjoyed time with friend and family and took ridiculously long and unnecessary naps. And I do have to say that she offered a refreshing take on television, mostly unfettered by pesky reality, and probably heavier on the “iCarly” than anything I’ve ever written, but it’s the differences between us that make this place so great! Here’s what you can enjoy on television tonight:

7:00pm: “60 Minutes” on CBS

“America’s Funniest Home Videos” on ABC. For Christmas, I actually got my brother called “Bacon Salt” which is, bizarrely, both kosher, low sodium, and brought to you by the geniuses behind “Baconnaise”. I read a bit about the company which was partially funded by winnings from “America’s Funniest Home Videos”. Just thought y’all would like to know.

“Football Night in America” on NBC, and the “finale”, since we’re into the playoffs after today.

8:00pm: “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” on ABC

“Iron Chef America: Super Chef Battle” on Food Network

“The Simpsons” on FOX

8:15pm: “Sunday Night Football: Cincinnati Bengals at NY Jets” on NBC

8:30pm: “The Cleveland Show” on FOX, so all of you can look forward to Barbado rambling about his deep and abiding love for Seth McFarlane some more. Again.

9:00pm: “Desperate Housewives” on ABC

“Family Guy” on FOX

“My Shocking Story: My Giant Head” on TLC. I’m picturing a live action bobblehead here, which I’m sure is incredibly insensitive but I’m blaming TLC for having such an evocative title.

9:30pm: “American Dad” on FOX

10:00pm: “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty” on A&E

“Keeping Up With The Kardashians” on E!. Discussion question: is it more distasteful to ride the coattails of your dead brother to renewed fame, or to use the fact that your sister/daughter was the star of a legendarily terrible sex tape involving water games to make your family famous?

“TLC Special: Super Face Surgeries” on TLC. I wonder if the person in that other special can get their Bratz-esque head fixed on this show.

“Brothers and Sisters” on ABC

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

Being a giant-head is no picnic, let me tell you. You can get called "bubblehead" in high school. You can have cervical disc replacement surgery at age 32. You can walk down a street in Seattle, minding your own business, and have a derelict interrupt his muttering monologue to look straight at you and shout, "FUCK YOU, BIG FOREHEAD!!"

On the plus side, people just sort of assume that you're hauling around a big ol' brain, so you tend to get listened to. At least, that could be what's happening. They could just be staring and thinking, "Pity his poor mum...." Yep, if you were a giant-head.

“My Shocking Story: My Giant Head”

Nice to see Tila Tequia's still getting work.

Maybe My Giant Head isn't referring to the one on his shoulders. This could be a great night on TLC says I.

“My Shocking Story: My Giant Head”

How giant is "Giant"? Like Sputnik? Orange on a toothpick? A virtual planetoid? Giant enough for its own weather system?

Since it's TLC, I'm guessing it's not just run of the mill big head. As in big brain jokes and did you kill your mother with that head jokes.

I'm guessing he's going to have a head so out of proportion to his body you can barely stand to look at him.

I mean, did anyone see the TLC show on the guy who was TURNING INTO A GODDAMNED TREE?

Ok, see.

branded, did you love So I Married an Axe Murderer too? It really doesn't get enough recognition.

My Giant Head.....Hmmmmm......Is this about my brother? Cos his cranium is Huge, like Stewie from family guy huge-but hes a genius so maybe it evens things out.
Hey if this guys head so big how does he get around? does he fill a shopping trolley with pillows rest his weary bonce and get his mum to push it? Cos I would pay to see that.

Not amused.

How did you miss "Worst Cooks in America," Rusty?

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at January 3, 2010 10:11 PM

Your brother is called Bacon Salt? Brutal parenting skills.

Or is it like that giant wooden head Mr Burns gave Homer as a prize?

I am a horrible, horrible person.

Also I wonder where BSlim has been. Probably humping his family guy DVD collection that he surely got for Christmas. If they have Christmas on HELL ISLAND.

Sorry. I'm kinda drunk.

Actually I went for the L&O: Criminal Intent marathon on Bravo (so, up yours Rusty).

Found myself pleasantly surprised by Jeff Goldblum's work on that bitch. And, when the hell did D'onofrio get so fat and sloppy? I mean I know he was always a big dude but DAMN he looks like he ate 2009.

...you are pure class Figgy.

I like Seth's work, too. I'm just a little less likely to get stabby over the insults here. I'm used to watching shows that people either don't watch (oh The Road to Stardom with Missy Elliott, Robert misses you and the "Get on the Bus" theme song so much) or really, really hate (Drawn Together, you were so good to me). Family Guy and American Dad were delightfully raunchy, over the top, and TLC-like in ridiculousness last night; American Dad even had an immobile obese shut-in as a side plot.

The giant head special made me want to throw up. I tuned in for the last twenty minutes, so I was tricked into thinking it was about the sweet little boy with Progeria, but no, Mr. Head Smashed like a ball of Playdoh had to show up and start my gag reflex. I want Midway-grade freaks, not Side-Show freaks. I expect a little class in my freaky TLC shows, like a geek singing opera before biting the head off of a chicken or an armless man rolling his own cigarette with his toes. When do they show an hour of bizarre fetuses preserved in formaldehyde or 6 legged cows? Where can they go from here?
