No Capes!

Welcome to the beginning of the mid-season replacement extravaganza! Where all the shows that weren’t given a shot in September come back to plead their case by stepping over the corpses of their fallen comrades. And, of course, I get a whole new slate of shows to mock, so it almost looks like I have fresh material for a couple weeks. Hooray! Here’s your Sunday night TV and feel free to rate the shows in the comments, Olympic Gymnastic Judge style (by which I mean bribes are not only welcomed, but encouraged. ARE YOU LISTENING NBC? I HAVE STUDENT LOANS!):
7:00pm: “60 Minutes” on CBS
“America’s Funniest Home Videos” on ABC
“Dateline NBC” on NBC
8:00pm: “Basketball Wives” on VH1
“CSI: Miami” on CBS
“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” on ABC
“Food Network Challenge” on Food Network
“Jerserylicious” on Style
“Nature: Elsa’s Legacy: The Born Free Story” on PBS
“Ask Oprah’s All Stars #2” on OWN
“Sarah Palin’s Alaska” on TLC. This show is apparently being cancelled, but no official reason for it’s cancellation is forthcoming. Probably just because I heard it’s boring as shit, but whatever.
“The Simpsons” on Fox
8:30pm: “Bob’s Burgers” on Fox. Series premiere. Wait, what? An animated show airing on Fox on Sunday night that’s not a Seth MacFarlane property? Must be a mistake. Though you won’t catch me complaining about more H. Jon Benjamin on my TV.
9:00pm: “Ax Men” on History
“Bridalplasty” on E
“Californication” on Showtime. Fourth season premiere.
“The Cape” on NBC. Two hour series premiere on a special night. Any thoughts on this? Kind of looks like “Heroes” but with far less extraneous characters. Still, always remember what Edna Mode said about capes. I don’t see a long future here.
“Desperate Housewives” on ABC
“Family Guy” on Fox
“Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane” on Style
“Masterpiece: Downton Abbey” on PBS. 41st season premiere.
“Sarah Palin’s Alaska” on TLC. Series finale.
“Undercover Boss” on CBS
“What Chilli Wants” on VH1
“The Wild Within: Off the Grid Alaska” on Travel. Series premiere.
“Worst Cooks in America” on Food Network
9:30pm: “Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business” on VH1
“The Cleveland Show” on Fox
“Episodes” on Showtime. Series premiere.
10:00pm: “Iron Chef America” on Food Network
“Kendra” on E
“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” on Bravo
“Rich Bride, Poor Bride” on WE. Um… is this as terrible as it sounds or am I being unnecessarily judgy?
“Shameless” on Showtime. Series premiere.
“William, Kate, and 8 Royal Weddings” on TLC
“Top Gear” on History
“Brothers and Sisters” on ABC
11:45pm: “Robot Chicken” on Adult Swim. Fifth season premiere.

Speculatively speaking, if Palin decides to run in 2012 and she still has a show, that equal time rule thing kicks in on TLC, and even they wouldn't stoop so low as to give every presidential candidate seven weeks on the schedule (for reference, see Fred Dalton Thompson on Law & Order).
