Stupid French Vowels

Against all odds I’ve actually managed to be marginally productive this weekend despite sleeping way too late both days and the associated hassles and time suck of making a police report because my bike got stolen. I’m looking forward to the end of the semester so I can go back to having weekends that can be spent doing my best impression of someone with narcolepsy before I get bored with that and start seeking out new projects to fill my time. And after next week I won’t have any more “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” to watch on Saturdays for a very very long time, so I’ll have to find something to fill that gap. Here’s your Sunday night TV:

7:00 p.m.: “60 Minutes” on CBS.

“America’s Funniest Home Videos” on ABC.

“Dateline” on NBC.

“Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom” on Animal Planet.

“‘Til Death” on Fox.

8:00 p.m.: “The Amazing Race” on CBS.

“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” on ABC.

“Life: Hunters and Hunted” on Discovery.

“The Simpsons” on Fox.

“Sunday Best” on BET. I didn’t realize what this was until they showed a clip of it on “The Soup” this week. Apparently it’s “American Idol” but for Gospel singers. That sounds kind of awesome and I may start watching when they get to whatever their equivalent of “Hollywood Week” is.

8:30 p.m.: “The Cleveland Show” on Fox.

9:00 p.m.: “The Apprentice” on NBC.

“Brandy and Ray J” on VH1. Series premiere. Remember when Brandy had her own career based on her talents and didn’t have to leach off the pseudo-infamy of her brother whose only real accomplishment is having sex with Kim Kardashian on film? Yeah. I remember that.

“Brothers and Sisters” on ABC. Back to back new episodes at a special time.

“Family Guy” on Fox.

“Holmes on Homes” on HGTV.

“Life: Insects” on Discovery.

“Masterpiece! The Diary of Anne Frank” on PBS.

“The Pacific” on HBO.

“The Tudors” on Showtime. Fourth season premiere. I’m still disappointed that they’re not going to make Jonathan Rhys Meyers wear a fat suit to play a more convincing Henry the Eighth.

“Undercover Boss: 1-800 Flowers” on CBS.

9:30 p.m.: “American Dad” on Fox. Returns from hiatus.

“Gene Simmons Family Jewels” on A&E.

10:00 p.m.: “Army Wives” on Lifetime. Fourth season premiere.

“Ax Men” on History.

“Basketball Wives” on VH1. Series premiere.

“Breaking Bad” on AMC.

“Cold Case” on CBS.

“Deadliest Catch: Best of Season 5 Opilio Crab” on Discovery.

“Hoarding: Buried Alive” on TLC.

“Iron Chef America” on Food Network.

“Kirstie Alley’s Big Life” on A&E.

“Treme” on HBO. 90 minute series premiere. Every time I read the name of this show, I pronounce it wrong in my head. I keep thinking “Treme” like the end of “extreme” but it’s supposed to be more like “Tre-may”. I’ll have to do some mental exercises with that since it’ll probably be a super hot show and I’ll actually have to pronounce it out loud at some point.

I'm so excited my show is back. I'd like to thank Fox for pulling the plug on Sons of Tuscon so a proven, genuine comedy can come back to tuck me in on Sunday nights. Oh, Roger, I missed you. I can't wait to see you become a police officer on American Dad tonight. Remember when you rode shotgun with the fire department and danced under a motion activated streetlight for effect with that magnificent mustache? Good times.

Who knows, maybe Hayley will actually get a line tonight? I don't want to push my luck. I'm more than thankful that the new King of the Hill "we can fuck with it cause the fans will keep coming back, right?" schedule filler is back on Fox and at the same time slot. Even Family Guy didn't keep the same time slot it's first go around for this long.

I immediately dismissed The Tudors when I saw the first print ad featuring Jonathan Rhys Meyers as King Harry. Three of the five Tudor monarchs (Henry VIII, Edward VI, and of course Elizabeth) were very fair-skinned and had reddish-gold hair. The lack of even trying to find a match for young King Henry just turned me the hell off.

I wish I could just keep Ray J locked in a room to have around whenever I need to kick something in the chest. I'd keep him well-fed and entertained with shiny objects and every few days or every few hours, BAM, shot to the sternum.

I really liked Sons of Tuscon. Do we know it's gone for sure? It had potential.
Also, I have been calling it Treem too. And now I know better.

Treme was good for it being its first episode.

I wonder though how it will play across the nation and not to folks who lived/live through Katrina and its aftermath or are aware of all the quirks and idiosyncrasies that are a part of New Orleans.

And it's "tre-may". Like the candy caramel with nuts is "prah-leens" and not "Pray-lines" (Pralines).

I lied about rich celebs on ·:*¨ diamondkissing.com¨*:·.! Ever boddy knows only loosers would go that ☆☆☆website☆☆☆and only looser with no chance at life or having ever a poor friend would spend all day promoting it ???.

I kind of enjoy self-loathing spambot. Treme was pretty good, but I don't know that the rest of the country really cares that much. Which is a shame, because New Orleans for all it's faults is a fantastic city.

Love is in the air! People who's common bond is their taller than average height and a personal relationship is their goal. Finding love, dating and romance in real life is enough of a daunting task itself; now throw HEIGHT into the mix and you know what we mean! ____Tallmingle.com____ is the Internet's only true place dedicated 100% to helping TALL singles find their true someone special!
We cater solely to that small niche group of singles who would like to look their date square in the eyes and not the top of their heads OR those TALL people admirers! Many are not as fortunate to be able to stand heads above the rest and prefer to date people who do!
