Pajiba After Dark 9/09/09

President Obama Set to Socialize and Communize Your World

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (86)

Despite the fact that there were no televisions shows targeted at our demographic, last night’s first Pajiba After Dark was a success. So, the feature continues. Here are tonight’s highlights and, more importantly, a space below to give y’all a place to shoot the bacon and chew the shit (Yeah, I know I used that line last night, but hell if I didn’t love it).

8:00

— President Obama addresses a Joint Session of Congress (ABC, NBC, CBS)

— “So You Think You Can Dance,” the 6th Season Premiere on FOX

— “America’s Top Model,” the two-hour 13th season premiere over on The CW.

9:00

— “Glee,” the season premiere on Fox.

— “Wipeout” over on ABC, for folks who enjoy brain rot.

— “Leverage” the second season finale over on TNT.

10:00

— “Real World,” the 22nd season finale over on MTV (22? Fuck me, I’m old.)

Now...let me thank you for making me feel old. Damn you.

Wait, The Real World is 22? Holy duck-fucking. I mean, I've never seen a single episode of it, but I had no idea it was the same fucking age as me. Bastards. Stealing my birthday thunder.

Glee!
Squee!

“America’s Top Model,” the two-hour 13th season premiere over on The CW.

That doesn't make any sense, I remembered when that damn show first came on, and it sure as hell wasn't when I was 4. There should be a law prohibiting Tyra Banks from being on T.V. this much, punishable by the electric chair.

Dear Fox:

Fuck your mother.

Sincerely,

I don't know if it will make anyone feel better, but The Real World premiered in 1992. It's 22 seasons old, NOT 22 years old. They've aired two seasons a year for the past few years.

SYTYCD & Glee = happy times!

On admin's tv - HIMYM Season 2, disk 3. I have become convinced that the only way to watch tv is in DVD form.

Posted by: admin at September 9, 2009 7:53 PM

I'm going to be switching between Mythbusters and Ghost Hunters. Presidential speeches make me yawn, ANTM makes me cringe, and Real World makes me want to beat the shit out of The Husband because he insists on watching it.
I'd much rather watch things explode and hear the Ghost Hunters say, "WHAT WAS THAT?!" (and then you take a drink).

I thought FOX wasn't gonna air Obama's speech? They're airing it over here. I get a fox station out of Colorado of all places.

Posted by: figgy at September 9, 2009 8:12 PM

Fox is not airing it here.

Posted by: Cindy at September 9, 2009 8:15 PM

No, no, our cable provider gets a feed from Colorado. And they're showing it here. The FOX News logo in the corner, even!

Posted by: figgy at September 9, 2009 8:26 PM

I am swooning Mr. President.

Posted by: Cindy at September 9, 2009 8:39 PM

Glee at nine, cannot wait at all for it!
And of course Top Chef at ten, so I'm actually watching TV for a change instead of ranting about Spencer and Heidi on The Hills or Flavor Flav.

Posted by: Kamikaze Feminist at September 9, 2009 8:48 PM

Aah wait, they just cut it off at 8 so they could start So You Think You Can Dance.

Huh.

Posted by: figgy at September 9, 2009 9:01 PM

Top Chef has become wholly unwatchable for me. Colliccio is the biggest asshole on Cable after O'Reilly and Hannity. It became apparent to me that I could never go back after Top Chef Masters, what an awesome little competition that was, the competitors were pure class and the judges were true critics, not some mush-mouthed bimbo.

I am looking forward to SYTYCD, though it's only going to make me detest Leah Miller even more. I wish we had Cat hosting the Canadian version. Or a stuffed beaver. Anything, really.

I know it's No Whining Wednesday, so to prevent myself from poo-pooing the new header, I am stuffing my mouth with a sock!

Muur melcome.

Posted by: Lauren at September 9, 2009 9:35 PM

I'm so glad it's not just me. I refreshed the page 2 or 3 times wondering what on earth was wrong. I knew you lot would be able to enlighten me. Or at least show that I'm not just going crazy.

Posted by: Gabs at September 9, 2009 9:42 PM

Everything feels so ominous. Are we evil now?

So, we weren't evil before?

I agree, though, that this design is somehow ominous.

Posted by: MM at September 9, 2009 9:44 PM

I think we were like zombie fun evil. Now we feel like Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer evil.

Posted by: Cindy at September 9, 2009 9:49 PM

Thanks, SaBrina!

Posted by: coryo at September 9, 2009 10:15 PM

it TOTALLY works!

(i had forgot sofia's boobs were in there!)

Posted by: gp at September 9, 2009 10:29 PM

oh yeah! that says it all.

(on a related note: i was remembering today that a friend's stepdad told me when i was in junior high that i was a "drainage". what a dick!)

Posted by: gp at September 9, 2009 10:38 PM

that wolverine video is going to eat this page. i played it, then noticed there was another one, so i played that one. and then a THIRD one, so i played that one. i'm hesitant to scroll down further.

Posted by: gp at September 9, 2009 10:45 PM

I sincerely apologize.

Posted by: Cindy at September 9, 2009 10:57 PM

I don't like to make people suffer.

Unless they deserve it.

So isthe picture up there changing, or is that just me?

Posted by: Cindy at September 9, 2009 11:10 PM

it seems to be the same pic.

so did you just slur that? or was i projecting again?

Posted by: gp at September 9, 2009 11:14 PM

Earlier, it was Heath's joker and now it's the Star Trek logo.

Maybe I am drunk?

Posted by: Cindy at September 9, 2009 11:20 PM

OK, the header stuff is growing on me. Can we get some Sisters of Mercy in here?

Posted by: Cindy at September 9, 2009 11:25 PM

I love me some Sisters.

I don't like the ads on top of the header. Ruins the whole thing.

Excellent speech. Clear and pretty damn reasonable.

Now I get go to hear all my Republican friends bitch about it tomorrow. I swear, if I hear them use the phrase "Socialist Death Panels" in a serious context again, I'm probably going to start me some stabbin'.

Posted by: alphawhiskey at September 10, 2009 12:04 AM

Baaaaaah.

We play the US next. Ugh. At least Costa Rica lost so we still have a good shot.

Posted by: figgy at September 10, 2009 12:55 AM

have fun with that, odnon, but beware, her landing strip is lop-sided. it's really off-putting. i mean, besides the fact that it's a hot pocket.

and that apartment is unheated.

Posted by: gp at September 10, 2009 12:59 AM

figgy, Honduras plays that game against the U.S. at home so I think they have a decent chance at a good result, though I think they will tie. Honduras should then beat El Salvador to take the third spot. Otherwise, I think you will be playing Argentina. Not good.

The problem is that Costa Rica and Mexico still get a game with TNT. Likely wins for El Tri and the Ticos. You will probably need help from the U.S. to beat Costa Rica who has been falling hard lately.

Congrats, Sofia.

I think its been awhile

Posted by: L.O.V.E. at September 10, 2009 2:16 AM

Wait a damn minute. Glee is GOOD?!? I was under the impression that it was High School Musical for the 18+ crowd.

I might have to stop giving my girlfriend shit for watching it now. Which means that she's right about something a-fucking-gain. Swear on baby jesus' eyes, I should trust her the same as I do wikipedia. The woman is nearing infallibility.

Anyone know of cash Trivial Pusuit games I can get her in on?

Posted by: Roaddog at September 10, 2009 3:09 AM

I have no idea what Glee is about, it's barely on the radar over here. Scratch that, it probably is somewhere, I'm just too old to notice.

I like the new page layout so far, seems like less ads (or at least less annoyingly situated), just less cluttered. Plus, Star Trekky, always good.

*--And yes, I meant "Stay turned!"

Posted by: , (TCFKAB) at September 10, 2009 10:20 AM

I have to applaud whoever edited that bit about Ryan's smiley face butt tattoo on SYTYCD--had me busting a gut when they freeze framed that shot of him doing the "sizzling" move. Seems like he'd be a fabulous actor too.

But by far my favorite, favorite moment was the very first audition they showed. My sister and I have been developing theories about people's dancing abilities based on what they say beforehand--and saying you're "unique" and "have your own style" always, ALWAYS means massive suck. But this guy--he blew right past suck and all the way back to AWESOME. No music, lots of contorted posturing and the odd utterance of random verbs ("Shatter! Shatter!") made this the best fucking audition ever. I was literally screaming with laughter. Called my sis and she was doing the same thing--we couldn't even have a conversation, we just guffawed into the phone for a while and hung up.

I was still giggling this morning. Thanks, Contortionist-goddamnit-i'm-a-serious-
misunderstood-dancer Dude.

Also, the really good dancer who chose to wear a loincloth-thingy to his audition? NO. Don't ever wear that again. I don't want to see every vein in your package as you jump around--it's distracting and not in a good way.

We all understand Argentina was disappointed with Maradona for failing to win the Cup, but I am undecided if it was in fact the right call to select a new manager. Batista is a great coach, but Maradona is one of the greatest figures in football history.
