I'm Not Especially Attentive Tonight

By Genevieve Burgess | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (22)

I had my last test of the semester today and I’m exhausted. I can’t decide if I want to take a nap and then go out tonight and celebrate or take a nap and then wake up, eat something, and fall right back asleep until sometime tomorrow afternoon. The nap, though, is definite. It’ll happen right after I finish eating this lunch of an avocado I put on top of some salad because it’s still not quite acceptable to cut an avocado in half, sprinkle on salt and pepper and eat it with a spoon. That kind of behavior is for weekends. Here’s your Thursday night TV:

8:00 p.m.: “Bones” on Fox.

“Community” on NBC.

“Flash Forward” on ABC.

“The Vampire Diaries” on The CW.

8:30 p.m.: “Parks and Recreation” on NBC.

9:00 p.m.: “CSI” on CBS.

“Fringe” on Fox.

“Grey’s Anatomy” on ABC.

“The Office” on NBC. Here’s where I begin to understand why television shows should maybe look into limiting the number of seasons they have. It’s not that I think the show has seen a precipitous drop in quality, or that the characters are unlikeable, but I’m just bored with “The Office” lately. There’s still almost always a few moments in every episode that I like, but it’s not exactly appointment TV any more and that makes me a little sad. Of course, I have the attention span of a particularly bright golden retriever so that’s not really saying SQUIRREL!

“Supernatural” on The CW.

9:30 p.m.: “30 Rock” on NBC.

10:00 p.m.: “Bullrun” on Speed. Third season finale.

“Celebrity Rehab Presents: Sober House” on VH1. Second season finale.

“LA Ink” on TLC. Third season finale.

“The Marriage Ref” on NBC.

“The Mentalist” on CBS.

“Private Practice” on ABC starting one minute after the hour. Now, I’ve seen all of maybe five minutes worth of this show, but from the version of Addison that comes back on “crossover” episodes with “Grey’s Anatomy” it seems like the woman lost half her brain when she moved to LA. Is that common? Or is it just something TV wants us to believe?

Late Night Listings:

“The Late Show With David Letterman” on CBS featuring Gwyneth Paltrow and the Broadway cast of “American Idiot.”

“The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” on NBC featuring Arnold Schwarzeneger, Sig Hansen, and Laura Bell Bundy.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC featuring Courtney Love, boxing rabbi Yuri Foreman, and Hole.

“The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson” on CBS featuring Tom Selleck and Lance Burton.

“Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” on NBC featuring Ed Burns, Jackie Earle Haley, and Paramore.

“Last Call With Carson Daly” on NBC featuring Gavin McInnes, Sia, and Holly Golightly.

“The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” on Comedy Central featuring Michael Caine.

“The Colbert Report” on Comedy Central featuring Abel Maldonado and OK Go.

It's all about Fringe, baybee.

Anyone who watches L.A. Ink, please kill yourself.

The Weekend's Agenda:

Anyone who notices me commenting on Pajiba during the next few days should yell at me. Anyone who hears of me watching one of the shows listed above (especially Bones) should beat me over the head with a bat labeled "Productivity."
Thanks!

@esme

A Pajiba a day keeps the doctorate away!

(holy crap was that corny)

I'm hoping that Jimmy unleashes our Dead Sea-Surfing Pugilist on Courtney Love. However, out of Jew-pride, if that skanktadon is still kicking at this point, not even The Chosen People's Right Cross is guaranteed to knock her out.

Fringe is doing a 50's, black and white, musical noir story tonight so I'm definitely watching that. Joshua Jackson with a fedora and John Noble in a wheelchair for some unknown reason, what's not to love?

Posted by: Iris at April 29, 2010 9:12 PM

Aw crap. It was the musical episode. That means I have to watch it.
Right now our tvs are watching the craziest thing. It's all on ice and they try to hit this little black thing into a big square net using only sticks. But there's a big (fat maybe?) guy in front of it wearing armor. I don't think it's Japanese, but everyone yells when the black thing goes in.

More importantly, where did you get that header picture and where can see it in action?

Posted by: Mick J at April 29, 2010 10:24 PM

a little out of place, but i just caught up on Breaking bad tonight, episode 6 from season 3.

Holy Fuck.

I have been disappointed this season, it has bee dragging and not as tense, dark, or traumatic as before.

then this episode played. i wanted to send it to people who didnt even know the show and say 'watch this explosion".

Holy Fuck.

sorry to sidestep the nights tv festivities, i catch everything late on the interwebs

I loved the cover of "O Death" they used in the latest Supernatural promo. Kicked butt.

Mick J, that is a spy photo taken of the Squirrel Resistance Movement currently afoot here at the University of Miami. We have squirrels here who will cut you for a fry, except that the lack of opposable thumbs makes it difficult to hold a knife. The Bazooka, on the other hand, offers a variety of grips that mostly rely on leverage and so are more easy to handle for the furry revolutionaries.

(Actually if you type "squirrel" into google images that's one of the first things that pops up, despite the fact that the rodent in the image is clearly a chipmunk and not a squirrel.)

SQUIRREL!

Hey Slim, Baby. Go fuck yourself. I used to watch LA Ink. I still would if I ever got off the damn internet. It is a freak show, with poignant moments. And it is always fun to see who Kat Von D is banging THIS season.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at April 30, 2010 1:02 AM

Holy fuck! Courtney looks GREAT!

I have to completely re-evaluate my universe because I (no) think (no!) I'd (NO!) hit (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!) it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*thunk*

Comma, comma, comma

*shakes head sadly*

Next thing you know you'll be casing the local cemetaries with a shovel in search of afternoon delights.

fredo, mr. dammit was singin' along. They do use some awesome music on there.

Posted by: dammitjanet at April 30, 2010 8:33 AM

I thought that was a great cover. However the crowning moment for Supernatural music was Jensen Eckels singing "Eye of the Tiger". A true classic.

I watch Bones solely to see how much more ridiculous they can make it. Dating your daughter's gynecologist? Sure! Happens all the time! Totally not skeevy! At least the daughter insisted on a switch after she found out. Also, I can see how someone as unattractive as Cam would have trouble finding dates.

And the body in the industrial washer was awesome. Almost as great as the giant fish casually burping up a human skull in the last episode. I seriously love those moments. Writing for that show must be a blast.

Sadly I had to tape Fringe but I look forward to watching it tonight. John Noble deserves an Emmy for his work as Walter.

Kballs,

Have a look.

My husband cuts open an avocado, puts salt and hot sauce on it, and then eats it with chips. He does this every night when he gets home from work. It's the chips that make it ok. What I'm trying to say is, go for it!

Comma,

You're not kidding! They must've called in the greatest make-upping minds on the planet to make that thing presentable.

Previous comment rescinded, but only partially since you should never admit that kind of thing publicly in the first place.

Like a liar at a witch trial

You look good for your age.
