Uh… Could You Point Me Towards the Salad?

A lot of the American readers of Pajiba After Dark are likely looking forward to the three day weekend we’ve got this week. Of course, the bad news about Memorial Day weekend is that it tends to mark the departure of basically all television shows worth watching. Makes my job easier, but more depressing for the next few months. So I hope everyone enjoys their picnics, pool parties, or day spent lounging around in PJs but while doing so, give a thought to the brave service people whose sacrifices are being honored this weekend. Here’s your TV:

8:00 p.m.: “Flash Forward” on ABC. First season finale.

“So You Think You Can Dance” on Fox. It says “Two hour seventh season finale” but I swear they mean “premiere.”

8:30 p.m.: “100 Questions” on NBC. Series premiere.

9:00 p.m.: “Hollywood Salutes Matt Damon: An American Cinematheque Tribute” on ABC. One hour special presentation.

“Police Women of Memphis” on TLC. Third season premiere. TLC’s programming schedule is like, the craziest thing on the air these days. I’m pretty sure it’s run by someone’s schnauzer.

10:00 p.m.: “The Dudesons in America” on MTV.

“Mall Cops: Mall of America” on TLC. Series premiere. I blame Kevin James for this. I have no hard and fast basis to do so, but I am.

“The OCD Project” on VH1. Series premiere.

“The Real Housewives of New York City” on Bravo.

10:30 p.m.: “Mall Cops: Mall of America” on TLC.

“Samantha Brown’s Great Weekends” on Travel. Third season finale.

“Ultimate Parkour Challenge” on MTV.

Late Night Listings:

“The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” on NBC featuring Katherine Heigl, Matthew Morrison, and Allison Moorer.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC featuring Chris Harrison and Stone Temple Pilots.

“The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson” on CBS featuring Michael Sheen and Band of Horses.

“Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” on NBC featuring Ann Curry, Steve & Joann Ward, Reflection Eternal.

“Last Call With Carson Daly” on NBC featuring Bryan Cranston, Joey Lawrence, and Damian Marley with Nas.

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

I'm just glad yesterday was the last day of the May ratings book so I get a break from the overblown, laughably dishonest self-promotion of the local stations. GAH!

"Uh… Could You Point Me Towards the Salad?"

-Yeah. You're standing on it. That's the only greens you'll see at my cookout.

Okay, that "100 Questions" was PAINFUL. Ack.

Now that I can believe.

Schnauzers are reputedly the smartest breed of dog. Still...

Damn, it's a wasteland tonight. There isn't one thing on that list that marginally interests me. (Not your fault Rusty, sweeps is over and all the stuff on USA and FX hasn't started back up yet.)

Guess I should try and finish "Twin Peaks" and Season 2 of "Psych." (I'm also working on making my way through Babylon 5, which I'm told by a sci-fi friend is "the best sci-fi politics type show ever written." Though he hated Battlestar so I'm gaurdedly skeptical.)

I wouldn't argue with schnauzers being the smartest breed, but this doesn't preclude the scheduling being done by a retarded schnauzer. Someone's got to finish last in obedience school.

Schnauzers are quite nice ... particularly with a proper marinade before throwing it onto the barbecue grill. Stuff the abdominal cavity with sage, rosemary and lemon quarters. Yum!

Jay Leno featuring Katherine Heigl
Isn't that like dividing by zero?
I don't want to be around for that...

Good point, PallasJay.

TWIN PEAKS! Loved that show, Roaddog. I even have the original VHS tapes of the first season (all that was available at the time; yes, I'm old), a box set in a fake wood container. The second season quickly goes to hell, but it STILL provided more resolution and answers than Lost.

And dancing is back! REAL dancing, not the spastic flailings of S-list celebrities. But I thought I heard there would only be ten (instead of 20) making the show initially, which bums me out. Does this mean a shorter season?
