So… That's Happening.

If I had ever watched “Lost” this would be where I talked it and how excited I am and all that good stuff. But I’ve never seen “Lost” so all I know is what one can discern from the commercials, which is that its about a lot of people running around a jungle yelling at each other or into the middle distance. Oh, and I think I saw a smoke monster in the most recent commercial. I don’t know how its going to end, but I know that if it ends with someone waking up all “Man that was a weird dream” then J.J Abrams is going to be found ripped into itty bitty pieces spread across Los Angeles. Here’s tonight’s schedule, including and aside from “Lost”:

8:00 p.m.: “American Idol: Denver Auditions” on Fox. The only thing I can think at this point is that Fox is deliberately drawing out the auditions so that when they go to Hollywood they go up against the Olympics on NBC. But I could be wrong.

“Lost: The Beginning of the End” on ABC. Special one hour presentation.

“NCIS” on CBS.

“Nova: Ghosts of Machu Picchu” on PBS.

9:00 p.m.: “19 Kids and Counting” on TLC. Fourth season premiere. At this point I’m beginning to think that Mrs. Duggar must have a superhuman uterus/vagina because I can’t imagine a normal woman could carry and give birth to 19 FREAKING PEOPLE and not suffer some kind of serious ill effects. I’m amazed her uterus hasn’t just shriveled up and died rather than suffer continued abuse.

“The Biggest Loser” on NBC. New episode at a special time.

“Dirty Jobs” on Discovery.

“Kitchen Nightmares” on Fox. New episode on a special night.

“Lost” on ABC. Two hour sixth season premiere. Lay in your snacks and get the DVRs warmed up.

“NCIS: Los Angeles” on CBS.

“Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal” on A&E. Second season finale.

10:00 p.m.: “The Good Wife” on CBS.

“Howe and Howe Tech” on Discovery.

“The Little Couple” on TLC. I think if the people at TLC encountered a little person who was obese and had a rare disease that made their blood purple who also worked as a chef and had 10 kids they would explode in glee before they could even come up with a show about them.

“Man Vs. Food” on Travel. One hour special presentation.

“The Michael Vick Project” on BET. Series premiere. I only mention this because of all the vitriol that rolls through here whenever Vick gets discussed. Have at it!

“Millionaire Matchmaker” on Bravo.

“Paranormal State” on A&E.

“Shatner’s Raw Nerve” on Bio.

“Teen Mom: Finale Special” on MTV. 90 minute special presentation. Dr. Drew will be talking to the young ladies. Remember when Dr. Drew just did Loveline? I think I liked him better then and not when he had three of his own shows and appeared on several others. But hey, I’m sure he’s got a mortgage or six that he needs to pay.

“White Collar” on USA.

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

You should give Lost a go. I had the same "meh" opinion before I watched. Then I got bored last summer and it was all on Netflix Instant (and Hulu now too). So I got sucked in. Totally worth it.

Oh and Michael Vick can go suckafuck.

Blah blah blah blah blah

Blah blah blah Duggar blah

LOST comes back. Praise Jesopod, LOST comes back.

Blah Shatner blah Drew blah

Your local news.

Really, InternRusty, I like you but you coulda taken tonight off.

I think Dr. Drew has a nasty coke habit. I can totally see him snorting blow off the backside of a dead male hustler in a seedy hotel room. When he is a patient on Celeb Rehab, then I will tune in for that shit.

Is the Michael Vick show one where dog lovers get to line up with baseball bats and smack him around like a pinanta? No? How about him cleaning up the kennels of Dog Town with his tongue? fucking dog-killing asshole.

"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children her uterus fell out."

- Andrew Dice Clay

That's the story of the Duggars in a nutshell.

Permit me to "Squee!" a bit over Nova. I love that series.

I'm gonna need to be not sober to get through this.

Posted by: Jay at February 2, 2010 7:20 PM

LOST!!

I hope The Smoke Monster and Benjamin Linus force Michael Vick to fight pit bulls hopped up on LSD in a cage match. Motherfucker.

Posted by: stardust at February 2, 2010 7:22 PM

Seriously, TLC should just drop all pretense and change their name to Breeder & Midget Channel.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at February 2, 2010 7:23 PM

Barbado It's really not nice to give ladies pushing 40 reason to suddenly laugh hard. Not nice at ALL.

All I'm interested in is the Teen Mom thing. And a big deadline at work tomorrow is kind of taking precedence over that. As is the idea of happy hour and girl talk at Fuzzy's Tacos tonight. (Doesn't a fuzzy taco sound pervy?)

But I'm sure I'll still try to catch it. We're living in 1980, apparently, and have no way to record shows.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at February 2, 2010 7:31 PM

Do I need to watch at 8 too? It's just a clip show, right? I don't need to see it all again. This isn't The Office. (That last comment was for Figgy, since her rage towards it amuses me, and I completely agree)

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at February 2, 2010 7:35 PM

Fuck Michael Vick.

Posted by: kimmyhula at February 2, 2010 7:38 PM

Oh and the Duggars can go take a long walk off a short pier. You know what I love? There was this blog about them (Duggars Without Pity) that used to be VERY sympathetic to them. I'd say about 80% sympathy.

I re-visited it the other day for the first time in a long time and was pleasantly surprised to find that it's about 99% fuck 'em. Truly. In one LONG comment thread (over 200), I counted exactly two supportive comments and they were one sentence each.

After an episode of LOST airs, how soon after does it become available online?

Posted by: Scully at February 2, 2010 8:07 PM

The I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell clip makes me want to kill and die, in any order.

Posted by: sansho1 at February 2, 2010 8:08 PM

EEEEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEEEeeeeeEEEEEEEEE!
*pant pant pant*
EEEEeeeeeEEEEeeeeEEEEeeeeEEEEeeee!!!!

Bag of chips: check.
Bucket of dip: check.
Box of cookies: check.
Giant bottle of water: check.
Comfy chair: check.
Jammie pants: !! not yet!
Homework finished for class tomorrow: oops.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverpuppet at February 2, 2010 8:10 PM

I can't watch Lost till tomorrow at 3, so I'm gonna have to avoid contact with the outside world like the plague.

Posted by: buttercup at February 2, 2010 8:23 PM

Heehee, AvB, who can do work on a night like this? Bring on LOST!

I'm so excited I'm not even gonna watch it on a time delay on my DVR. I'll just suffer through the commercials.

Allow me to bring some joy into the room. After a woman gives birth, nursing her child helps to 'pull up' the muscles around the abdomen. For the first child, it goes rather smoothly with only a few cramps. However, as a woman undergoes more and more pregnancies, and the abdominal wall and supportive muscle groups endure continued distention, it becomes exponentially more painful in the months following as the body strives to return the area into a reasonably functioning protective barrier for the guts. Often, if not always, in the case of more than four children, the woman faces severe herniation and likely repeated surgery to prevent death from various organs slipping through the hernia resulting in blood flow losses and death to the organs. So, she gets EXPONENTIALLY INCREASED PAIN, EVERY CHILD.

Mrs. Duggar is either a) perpetually high as a kite on pain meds, b) a surgery nightmare with a dim future, or c) bound for a wheelchair when her uterus prolapses and/or mutinies into spontaneous hysterectomy. (okay - I don't know about this last bit, but the above paragraphs are all true.)

So, for everyone who does not watch Lost, you're welcome.
:)

*also - RepMD wishes to downplay the herniation-death 'guarantee'...it's not guaranteed, just really likely to be a problem. Also, if the woman doesn't nurse, the situation with the abdomen is worse, functionally. Also, I can almost assure you she is wearing depends by now.

Posted by: replica at February 2, 2010 9:16 PM

Replica, I didn't wish to know that. I just keep seeing the woman from Yorkshire from Monty Python's Meaning of Life (the one who cranked 65+ children out of her hideously Holland Tunnel-sized womb and was so indifferent that she had her last one while washing the dishes).

*splat* "Wahhh!"
"Oh. Get that for me, will you Deirdre?"
"Yes, Mum."

AvB's immitation of the Duggar Lady's entire life (which I assume is a state of perpetual childbirth with her husband quickly masturbating into her vagina in between each baby. In my head, she never gets out of the OBGYN stirrups).

Posted by: esme at February 2, 2010 9:56 PM

replica The idea that Ma Duggar is always high as a kite on pain meds would actually explain a LOT about her, including but not limited to her little wee precious baby voice. (Gag.)

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at February 2, 2010 10:57 PM

Mrs. Duggar is either a) perpetually high as a kite on pain meds, b) a surgery nightmare with a dim future, or c) bound for a wheelchair when her uterus prolapses and/or mutinies into spontaneous hysterectomy.

Replica, you forgot the fourth option - that she has bionic internal organs.

CLIP SHOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

*SHOUTS AT THE SKY*

Posted by: figgy at February 2, 2010 11:57 PM

Maybe she's the type that gets a massive orgasm when she gives birth. And that is her 19th EVER.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at February 3, 2010 12:58 AM

I just wanted to add my voice to the collective cry of "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!?" regarding the Lost premiere. I stayed up late to watch this thing, I'm now haggard and weary and co-workers are assuming I spent the night partying. I was formulating theories, people.

Watch yourself, Abrams. The whole "everything is reset and yet everything is still happening as before" is dangerously close to sucking territory. If you try to please every fan, you're just going to end up pissing them all off. Right now I'm intrigued but so, so frustrated.

My friend and I are doing a Lost experiment. He has religiously watched all six seasons; I have never seen a full episode before last night (though I have read some recaps and season summaries...mostly here on Pajiba). We are going to then blog about our reactions.

In an attempt to not spoil anything, I only have one thing to say (and it pains me greatly to say it).

BSlim, I understand why you hate the Star Trek reboot now. In fact, after watching two hours of Abram's other scifi masterpiece, I don't think I will ever enjoy Star Trek in the same way.

My Irish grandmother had 17 children. She lived to be a healthy-enough 97.
But I imagine it's a good thing there was no camera crew recording her family life...

My Grandad (*wheedling*): Please, darlin'? Cuddles?
My Grandma: Feck off, ye drunken eejit! Thanks to you and the feckin' Pope, I have to put a spud up me fanny to keep my womb in!

Or words to that effect.

I'm wiping away tears brought on by the beauty of your words. I will, however, have to reconsider ordering potatoes at lunch today.

While I have nothing against Michael Vick playing football again (as it is his chosen profession), it chaps my ass that he's got this show. I was highly pissed when I first heard about it and now that it has come to fruition I can't express my level of disgust. I can defend him playing football (and for my team) but there's no excuse for this. My only hope is that he donates all the profits to animal rescue. I won't hold my breath.

Posted by: Whorish Mouth at February 3, 2010 11:06 AM

Dude, she did. She got preeclampsia and the baby was born premature at 1 pound. Now they all live 1 mile from my house at UAMS. Saw them in Wal-Mart two days ago. Very strange.
