7:00

— “60 Minutes” is back for its 42nd season. When will Andy Rooney die already?

— “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” returns with a two-hour season premiere. Somebody will cry. The host will do a bump off a stripper’s ass.

8:00

— “The Amazing Race” is back with its two-hour season premiere on CBS. This is my third favorite reality show, behind “Top Chef,” and “Survivor.” Actually, those are the only three I watch.

— “The Simpsons” has its 21st season premiere. Bart is still in the 4th grade.

8:15:

— Colts vs. Cardinals on NBC. Two weeks in a row, the Colts get a primetime game. Even better: No Jon Gruden this week. Colts 35, Cardinal 24.

8:30

— “The Cleveland Show” has its series premiere on Fox. I refuse to watch it out of hatred of “Family Guy.”

9:00

— “Dexter” kicks off its fourth season on Showtime.

— “Desperate Housewives” returns for its sixth season on ABC.

9:30

— “American Dad” has its fifth season premiere on Fox. This show is still on?

— “Bored to Death” is back on HBO for episode two. It’s not any better than the first one, sadly.

10:00

— “Californiacation” has its third season premiere on Showtime.

— “Cold Case” has its seventh season premiere on CBS.

— “Mad Men” on AMC. It it just me, or was last week’s episode the first decent one this season?

— “Brothers and Sisters” has its fourth season premiere on ABC. You know who watches this show? The TV Whore. For reals.

10:30

— “Entourage” on HBO.

Watching the Colts, DVR-ing Dexter and Californication. Yes, my night is planned.

It is only when Dexter is on that I curse not having Showtime. Dammit.

That is way, way too much Seth Mcfarlane. Someone lock him in a closet already.

Also that ad for "Couples Retreat" up in the corner is fantastic. I imagine they're all making that face of utter disgust because they just found out they were in that movie.

I have watched The Simpsons since they were a crudely animated short on Tracey Ullman's show in 1987, and I will continue to watch every damn episode, probably until I die, at this rate. It's not the best show on television, not by a long shot, but it's been part of my life for so long, I can't imagine my life without it. I mean, more than half my life, I've been watching this thing! Weird.

Go colts!

I often have weird dreams where Dexter is part of Entourage and gradually kills off all of the characters. Some would call this a nightmare, I call it a daydream. Best cross-over ever.

*heehee* That sure would be a Very Special Episode, luker!

I can't wait for Dexter tonight - and I watched the leaked first episode online a month ago!

Posted by: chicalulu at September 27, 2009 6:55 PM

My DVR is on overdrive tonight. Also, tonight's Curb episode is titled "Vehicular Fellatio"; can't get much better can it boys?

Can we please retire the phrase "coke off a strippers ass?" I mean jesus. When have tits ever been so neglected?

Posted by: patchfire at September 27, 2009 7:42 PM

I thought Ty Pennington was gay? I guess he could do coke off a male stripper's ass...

Posted by: MM at September 27, 2009 8:28 PM

DEATH to old people we don't like! Yeah, that's the kind of bitchy scathing I'm talkin' 'bout! Huzzah!

Hey, so you wanna join up? Good! But just be warned ... this site ★★★sugarloves.com★★★ is addictive. It has been known to keep people up all night feverishly clicking their button. Relationships have been destroyed, jobs have been lost, and lives have been ruined! On the other hand, all bad stuff seem not too important.

Posted by: wethight at September 27, 2009 8:57 PM

Well, against my better judgement, I'm watching The Cleveland Show...and it really isn't funny.

Sanaa Lathan, you're better than this.

Eat the wasabi!

Actually, I quit "Brothers and Sisters" late last season. Feels good. If you haven't tried it yet, you really should. And if you find yourself longing for it, just go punch your mother in the belly and when she cries it'll be like watching Sally Field.

Posted by: seth at September 27, 2009 9:25 PM

Wow. I don't watch any of those. (Don't get HBO and wouldn't watch the rest of it.)

Bad night for TV. I'll just wait for the Adult Swim shows later.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at September 27, 2009 9:45 PM

Anyone catch the new Simpsons? It was a very Pajiba episode--mocking big movie studios, particularly the comic book movie mania. It was pretty hilarious, and I'm glad I watched it.

Cleveland Show wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Surprisingly funny and actually seems to have a story and likable characters. I don't know if I'll make it a regular thing, but it's definitely better than that American Dad monstrosity. Not that that's hard.

Posted by: figgy at September 27, 2009 9:55 PM

you declined to mention "National Parks" on PBS, you heartless pricks. The only excuse for watching TV is watching nature on TV.

Posted by: Todd at September 27, 2009 9:57 PM

National Parks...arrrrghghghghghgh. (shaking fist in the air.) I totally forgot. I'll have to catch it tomorrow.

For me tonite, it's Californication @ 9:30 then Dexter @ 10. Luckily they are nice enough to replay for those of us who have to put the kids to bed.

Posted by: wsapnin at September 27, 2009 10:16 PM

You people really don't give American Dad enough credit. It's consistently better than Family Guy. It has less dumb cut-aways and more character based wacky humor. It's not 30 Rock but it's better than Family Guy.
And I'm extremely curious about the trainwreck that is The Cleveland Show.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at September 27, 2009 10:36 PM

Dexter was awesome (seriously), The Cleveland Show was horrible (no shit), Family Guy was sort of funny (the usual), and I didn't know that Californication had Peter Gallagher in it, so score.

Posted by: annoyingmouse at September 27, 2009 10:55 PM

National Parks! Ken Burns has been my best friend since I went through a major (and, in retrospect, extremely geeky) Civil War phase as a 13-year-old. I even watched -- and loved -- the whole Jazz thing. And now he gets to show footage of some of my favorite places ever! I already love it. Unless he says that we should pave over the Sierras so that fat/old people can drive up Whitney. There are enough boy scouts on cell phones there. Seriously, does a person have to go to Patagonia just to get some gorram peace?

Hmm, on an interesting note, Extreme Makeover just finished doing a house in my town. David Duchovny showed up kind of out of nowhere, and I got to meet him.

Well, if you count seeing him from 100 feet away, hyperventilating and trying not to scream MULDER at the top of your lungs over and over again as meeting him. I grew up on X Files, man, that shit was intense.

Plus, I know the people that got the house, and they're so nice. The mother of the family just finished her leukemia treatments and then their house burned down, so they were living in a one-bedroom trailer. The people in the area really made me fucking sick, though, they were so unbelievably jealous. The local newspaper did a story on the community's reactions, and of course everyone was 'anonymous.' Bull fucking shit. They're jealous little cunts who were bitching about the show not doing more for the community, and just focusing on one family. Well, fine, when you get cancer and your house burns down and then all you can afford is a one bedroom trailer when you have a husband and three teenagers, fine, maybe someone will build a house for you, but until then, stfu. Cunts.

And although I did not witness Ty snorting cocaine off of any hooker's asses (and believe me, there's a suprisingly large number in my town of 30,000, so I don't know how he resisted), I do know that he was stalked mercilessly by a group of middle-aged women wherever he went. They were organized, were in constant communication and everything. It was rather terrifying.

The whole experience was cool, but I was so glad that it was over when it was. I was getting sick to death of being cut off in town by these psychos coming from around the area to join the Ty stalking parties, and reamed this dickface with a Benz out for leaving his dog in the car when he went to the grocery store on an 80 degree day.

In other words- if Extreme Makeover ever comes to your town, strap on your safety helmets and nut cups, because it's going to be a psychotic week.

a Ben Folds reference..yaay! the title itself made my day.

Nat Parks was mostly about how the parks were created (yellowstone and yosemite for this episode)... from the people who discovered it to the government folks who voted it into legislation (or opposed it). Was actually quite thorough and showed both sides of the argument of creating the first national park in the world. It did, of course, side mostly with the view that visiting these parks is akin to having a religious experience and that you are a heartless prick (aka, "pajiban") if you disagree. It is soulbending experience, i can say from experience. Fuck religion, you wanna find god? climb a mountain.

Posted by: Todd at September 28, 2009 10:31 AM

seriously, andy rooney.
why do they allow him on air anymore?
his segment is so painfully awful.
i happened to catch it last night and he was bitching about vacations and how he loves nothing but work, which i fear means he'll continue irritating america well into the afterlife.

love that song, dustin.

Caught the part of the Simpsons where Homer is chomping the chunks of decades-old milk and plasters the entire front window of the Quik-E-Mart with his vomit. Gross, but hilarious.

I found myself watching the Cleveland show for ten minutes out of sheer disbelief.

Jaci, cool story. Although I sort of understand where people are coming from. There was one Home Makeover for a family in a really crummy part of town; one guy was paralyzed from the waist down after being shot in his own neighborhood, and I felt what he really wanted was to NOT LIVE THERE anymore, but instead they built this colossal two story monstrosity right in the middle of all this poverty, ensuring massive envy from the neighbors as well as countless break-in attempts, plus the complete inability of anyone to sell that home ever, because if you could afford something like that, you could also afford a better neighborhood. I mean, it was awesome for this family, but it would been better to move them somewhere else and build something a little less grandiose, although I suppose that's not as good for ratings.

Plus they put about 20 huge hi-def TVs in every house, which is just massive overkill. One kitchen had 6! What the fuck do you need 6 TVs in the kitchen for?

A former co-worker's husband worked on an Extreme Home Makeover house a couple years back and said Ty was not around unless cameras were. I am not remotely surprised--he wouldn't want to sprain a highlight. But the group of ladies stalking him in Jaci's hometown likely had better luck at the gym or the spa than the worksite.
