What to Watch Tonight- Tight Butthole

This is my first real post back, so I have to knock some rust off. Bear with me. (Get it! Oh, god. What am I doing?) Anyways, I will be back tomorrow with my review of the Adam Sandler/Andy Samberg pic, That's My Boy.

NBA Finals: Game 1- Heat vs Thunder (ABC)- Gotta go with the Thunder. I can't stand the Heat or LeBron.

American Ninja Warrior (NBC)- Always fun to watch, although it would go better with more balls flying at competitors faces in the same vein as Wipeout.

Barter Kings (A&E)- This shows is aimed at all of you Storage Wars fans out there. It reminds me of the story of the guy who traded a paperclip for a house. (I am too lazy to link it, just Google it.)

Top 100 Video Games of All Time (G4)- Let the debates begin.

Netflix Pick: Workaholics- I didn't realize how "tight butthole" this show was until recently. Grab some popcorn and get yourselves acquainted with the boys of Workaholics.

What to Watch Tonight: Weekend Edition

Karaoke Battle USA (ABC)- Friday. I didn't realize this is a show, but I guarantee you that this show is done too professionally. This would be watchable if it were filmed during happy hour at a Japanese Saki bar.

Man, Woman, Wild (Discovery)- Friday.  I don't watch this show, but if last week's enema tells me anything it may be worth a watch.

Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett Together Again (HBO)- Friday. Two great funny men talk about people that most do not know about. It's probably a good thing that this is on a Friday night. I still will DVR it, though. I love Mel Brooks. He could read a dictionary and I would still watch it.

9/11 Specials (Multiple Networks)- Take your pick. This Sunday marks the 10 year anniversary and most networks will be airing specials all day. It shouldn't be hard to find one.

NCAA/NFL Football (Multiple Networks)- Saturday/Sunday. It is Fall again, so get comfortable and watch some football.

Netflix: The Hudsucker Proxy- A Coen brothers movie with co-writing credits going to Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spiderman). Tim Robbins and Jennifer Jason Leigh star in this visually stunning and at times cartoonish, comedy about a business student who stumbles into becoming the president of a major company.

What to Watch Tonight- Pigskin

Big Brother (CBS)- Another eviction tonight. Kalia was evicted last night and Adam won Head of Household. We are now down to four and tonight will make it three. Who will go home?

CBS Fall Preview (CBS)- What is the point of this? This is basically a 30 minute preview for upcoming shows. Why?

NFL Football: Saints at Packers (NBC)- Are you ready for some football? Crack open a cold beverage,  grab some pizza and wings, and sit down for some 'Project Runway.'

Project Runway (Lifetime)- Tonight's episode is a 90 minute ad for HP, but I am sure it will be "Fabulous!"

Wilfred/Louie (FX)- Season finales. THese are the two shows that I should have been watching this summer. I have started season 1 of 'Louie' and it is great. I will catch up on Louie when it comes to Netfilx and hopefully 'Wilfred' will be on Netflix so I can start that.

Netflix: Repo Man- So I was looking for a movie on Netflix when this guy turns around and tips his hat. And who do you think that guy was? Emilio Estevez. The Mighty Duck man, I swear to God, he was there. I was like, "Emilio!"

What to Watch Tonight: The Usual Suspects

Not much on the docket to watch tonight. Personally, I am going to another advance screening tonight (perks of writing a blog). When I do get home I will be watching 'Big Brother.' For those of you who aren't as lucky, here is "what to watch tonight."

Big Brother (CBS)- Okay, so tonight is the POV and I believe an eviction night. With about a week to go, CBS is starting to cram these together. Porsche and Kalia are on the block and both are making half-assed attempts at deals. I say get rid of them both.

Minute to Win It (NBC)- Will someone please get Guy Fieri off television and out of Costco?

Man v. Food Nation (Travel) The Harlem Globetrotters take on the pulled pork "squealer" challenge. I hope one of them starts to throw up into a bucket, but instead pukes confetti. Oh, I miss my childhood. 

Confessions: Animal Hoarding (Animal Planet)- "A woman obsessed with cleaning keeps dead cats in her freezer." Well where else would she keep them? Can have them spoiling before you get a chance to serve them at a bar-b-que.

Rescue Me (FX)- Series finale. This is a show that people have been telling me to watch for years, but I still haven't. Am I glad I followed through with my laziness. 

Netflix: The Usual Suspects- You should have already seen this film by now, but if you haven't then drop everything you are doing and watch it now. Kevin Spacey gives an Oscar winning performance as Verbal Kint, a small time con artist who is involved in a crime, commissioned by mob boss Keyser Soze, gone wrong. Who is Keyser Soze? Well you should know by now. This film came out over 15 years ago.

What to Watch Tonight- Weekend Edition

Big Brother (CBS)- Last night's episode was postponed until this morning, so I do not know what has happened yet. Where I last left off on Wednesday, Porsche opened "Pandora's Box" unleashing the duo twist back on the house. This allowed both Rachel and Jordan to get off the block and put Shelley and Adam on the block. I will keep the two of you who watch this posted. 


True Blood (HBO)- Sunday. I watch this show every week and I always ask myself, "has this show jumped the shark?" Then I realize that the premise of this show jumped the shark in the series premiere. This show is a soap opera mixed with a Syfy show, but yet I can't get enough. Don't judge me. 


Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)- Sunday. Larry hangs out with former Red Sox curse bearer, Bill Buckner. I cannot wait to see where this goes. Is it wrong that I agree with Larry David's characterization of himself on so many levels?


Man, Woman, Wild (Discovery)- Tonight. Season Premiere. I have never seen this show, but it is basically Man vs. Wild with a couple. Tonight looks promising as wife, Ruth gives husband, Mykel an enema to keep him from dehydration. 


Tanked (Animal) Tonight. I've never even heard of this show and chances are you haven't either. Tonight a wife gives her fiancé a beer-keg aquarium. I am totally jealous at the thought of that.

What to Watch Tonight- I Am Moving so...Your Choice

I am moving this weekend, so I have been packing all day and taking care of things at the new place. Therefore, I have not posted today. I will be finishing up packing for the rest of the night, so go ahead and pick what you want. Here are a few suggestions.

Wipeout (ABC)- This will be on in the background as I pack, but it will probably distract me.

Big Brother (CBS)- This is the only show I will probably watch tonight. Jeff back-doored Dani last night at the POV ceremony, so she is most likely going home. Tonight is a double elimination night, so two people are going home in this one-hour episode.

Louie (FX)- Louie heads to Afghanistan in this one hour episode tonight. I do not know much more about this, but I will catch up with this season when it comes on Netflix.

Project Runway (Lifetime)- The designers have to run one lap around a track, but apparently someone goes down. I don't see how one lap can take somebody down. Also, why are they running on a track? Is this a 'Biggest Loser' crossover?

Netflix: Stripes- This classic comedy stars Bill Murray as a slacker turned Army recruit. Directed by Ivan Reitman and also starring Harold Ramis go ahead and watch this movie again. If you haven't seen this, then you need to put it in your instant queue.

(TV Guide)

What to Watch Tonight- American Ninja Warrior!

Bachelor Pad (ABC)- The "guys and gals face a synchronized-swimming challenge." Seriously ABC? This is what you are trying to pass as television?
American Ninja Warrior (NBC)- Wow! I didn't know this was on NBC. I love this show. This is the finale in Japan. I have been a huge fan of 'Sasuke' which is basically a four level obstacle course. There has been 26 of these now and every single one has been thrilling.
Project Runway (Lifetime Real Women)- I am a sucker for any reality competition. I am steadily becoming a big fan of this show. Tim Gunn is so fabulous!
HGTV'd (HGTV)- 'HGTV'd' teams up with Ellen Degeneres to make over a military family's home. Are they going to put jeans and a vest on it?
Netflix: Louie (TV Series)- I started watching this today as I promised I would do. Netflix is streaming season one currently, which is 13 episodes. I have caught the first 4 episodes and this is a great way to get invested.

What to Watch Tonight- Kick-Ass DVR

I am straining to pick stuff to watch tonight. I think I will be going to my DVR tonight and catch up on some shows. There is football on tonight, but it is preseason and exciting for about the first ten minutes.

Millionaire Matchmaker (Bravo)- Season premiere. I have been caught watching this with the wife. I cannot stand Patti the "matchmaker." She is superficial and shallow, but she berates her clients for being the same way. She was in a relationship, but now she is newly single. How does this qualify her to be a good matchmaker?

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (Travel)- Anthony Bourdain is always a entertaining guy. Check this out for an easy to follow program with a affable host.

Pawn Stars (History)- Always a good show. This mostly staged show is good for a few chuckles. The guys don't seem to be as bad this time around. When the show first started, they low-balled everybody. They would act like things weren't as valuable as they were, but now they are more upfront with making a profit.

Teen Wolf (MTV)- Season finale. That came and went. Apart from the trailer I vaguely remember airing a while back, there has been no buzz about this show. I would be surprised to see a second season, but then again MTV is notorious for giving crap a lifespan way longer than what it deserves.

Netflix: Kick-Ass- A solid antihero movie about a group of individuals who fight crime while posing as superheroes. This is one of the better Nic Cage movies of the past 15 years and he could learn from it. Cage's welcome as a Hollywood leading man is worn out. He has become a parody of himself. Cage can rejuvenate his career by sticking to these kind of roles.

What to Watch Tonight-Trainspotting Big Brother

Wipeout (ABC)- You know what the deal is. This is the most enjoyable show of the summer. If you have a pulse, you will laugh. I dare you, nay, defy you to not laugh during this show.

Big Brother (CBS)- If you watched last night you will know that Lawon put himself up for eviction thinking he will gain powers with the "twist." What Lawon doesn't know is that this is not a comic book. He sacrificed himself for nothing and he most likely won't make it back into the house, since he is a floater and can't compete with anyone. If this all confuses you, don't worry. I have been sucked in by this mindless crap.

So You Think You Can Dance (FOX)- Season finale. Someone wins. You heard it here first. If you care about this show, post a recap in the comments.

NFL Football Exhibition: Seahawks at Chargers (ESPN)- NFL football has arrived. Get ready to take a look at two teams who aren't on my radar. I might catch a glimpse of the game tonight, but I doubt it. If anything of importance happens, I will post it tomorrow. I wouldn't hold your breath.

Netflix: Trainspotting- This 1996 British film is based on a novel of the same name. It follows the lives of a group of youthful heroin addicts in Scotland. It stars Ewan McGregor of Star Wars and soothing accents fame. A fellow soothing accent-alum, Kelly Macdonald, also stars. You may remember Macdonald as Irish widow, Margaret Schroeder in the HBO series 'Boardwalk Empire.' Enjoy the trailer for the new season below.

What to Watch Tonight- Pippa's Thing

Wipeout (ABC)- What can I say. I almost look forward to this show. It makes me feel better about myself when someone else makes acts like a complete idiot.

G4's Proving Ground (G4)- This show is a part 'Mythbusters', part 'Jackass.' This was what Ryan Dunn was working on before he killed himself in a car wreck. Tonight's episode is about the 'Mortal Kombat' video game. 

Pawn Stars (History)- This show is so staged, but I still have it set to record on my dvr. They have officially sold out. I just saw a commercial where the guys of 'Pawn Stars' were promoting Stacker 2 energy drink. I don't blame them though. By the way, their store isn't open 24/7 like the sign says. The showroom is open from 9-9 and after that it is just a window where you can pawn small stuff or pay off loans.

Crazy About Pippa (TLC)- This show is about Pippa Middleton, sister of Kate. Coming off of the recent success of Pippa looking hot at"The Royal Wedding," this is a one-hour special on Pippa. That is about all I know. 

Netflix: The Thing- There is a preview going around the Internet of the new "The Thing." It is a remake of the 1982 John Carpenter film, which is a remake of the 1950's film. Check it out.

What to Watch Tonight- Get Out of the House

If today seems really familiar, get over it. It is the summer and I am not working with much. Go see a movie, watch some sports, or go out to dinner. Do whatever you want, I am not the boss of you. If you choose to watch television tonight here are the highlights of what is on tonight.

Wipeout (ABC)- I have written about 'Wipeout' almost every time. It is great and never lets me down. I promise that if you are a red-blooded American, you will love this.

Big Brother (CBS)- Tonight we find out who goes home. In case you aren't caught up; Daniele is the 'Head of Household', Brendon and Jordan are on the block, and everyone has to decide who to send home. This episode is really a set up for next week (according to me).

Shark City (Discovery)- Scientist study sharks. This is everything on "Shark Week." The saving grace of this particular show is that Andy Samberg will be giving some insights on what is happening.

Netflix: Shutter Island- This is my favorite Leonardo DiCaprio movie of 2010. Seriously, how did "Inception," get so much more buzz? A Scorsese film about a U.S. Marshall investigating a disappearance of a criminally insane patient. Also staring Mark Ruffalo and Ben Kingsley, this film had me thinking after the movie much more than "Inception." Go watch this.

What to Watch Tonight- Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

I guaranteed a post earlier today and have I delivered. Well, I did post earlier, but I can't touch on the quality. You be the judge. 

Big Brother (CBS)- I didn't used to be a fan of this show, but I was sucked in last year. This season is half all stars and half new players. It is the show that I love to hate. I am rooting for soft hearted, rocker Adam. 

Storage Wars (A&E)- This show is a guilty pleasure. I love to hate on Dave and Barry is an affable rich guy. I don't care what they are buying and subsequently lying about how much they'll get for it, I still enjoy this show.

Monty Python's Life of Brian (IFC)- A classic Monty Python movie. I still remember my dad introducing me to Monty Python when I was a wee-lad. I hope my children will be as accepting to the Brit-humour as I was.

Man v. Food Nation (Travel)- I guess Adam Richman's doctor told him to lay off the food. I haven't caught very much of "Food Nation," but I guess Richman has convinced locals to eat in his place for a free t-shirt. I am glad Richman is no longer competing. I feel like he would lose the easiest of challenges. I mean for God's sake, he had two bites left on his first omelet challenge. What a joke.

Netflix: Dead Alive- This Peter Jackson film from 1992 is a cult classic. Take some time to enjoy this over-the-top splatterfest including such classic scenes as the lawnmower weaponization. At the very least go youtube that scene.

That is it for today. Let me know if I should be watching something else.

What to Watch Tonight- Killer Wipeouts

Another day of 'What to Watch Tonight.' I am sorry it took me so long to write this. I promise I will do it earlier tomorrow.

Wipeout (ABC)- I still stand by this show. It is one of the most entertaining and funny shows of the summer. It is great to see Americans make fools of themselves for money.

Take the Money and Run (ABC)- This show seems pretty easy for me. I would hide it somewhere truly illegal, like a dogfighting ring. I doubt anyone would look there. Another potential hiding spot: the trunk of the detective's car. I wonder if this show will last.

Billy the Exterminator (A&E)- I can't pin down this show. How is it still on the air? It looks like Criss Angel had a love child with Sebastian Bach. This is the type of show that I watch when I have nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon.

Killer Sharks (Discovery)- This is about shark attacks from fifty years ago, yet it is still somehow relevant? I am done with the Discovery Channel. Go watch "Mob Week" on AMC.

Netflix- Operation: Endgame- This stars Rob Corddry, Ellen Barkin, Zach Galifianakis, Adam Scott, Ving Rhames, and Jeffrey Tambor among others. It is an action-comedy centered around secret government agents. Two groups of agents are pitted against each other in a fight to the death. It is a pretty interesting movie that had a limited release. Catch it on Netflix if nothing else interests you.

What to Watch Tonight- Shark Week!

Today in "What to Watch Tonight," I will be watching Netflix probably. I am not excited about anything on tonight. Is it fall yet?

The Bachelorette- Season finale. I haven't watched this show, ever. I don't know anything about this season, but my guess is someone makes false promises and the relationship won't last. Sounds about right.

Hell's Kitchen- "13 chefs compete." That is literally all I know about this show, but whatever floats your boat.

Shark Week: Rogue Sharks- SHARK WEEK! Seriously this happens once a year... I am over it. It seems to be the same thing every year. It's hard to get fired up for ten new programs, tops. The rest of 'Shark Week' is cluttered with reruns. This year's 'Shark Week' is hosted by Andy Samberg, but I will wait until the best of his hosting ends up on the Internet, then I will post those clips here.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations-  Anthony visits one of the most innovative restaurants in the world, El Bulli. I will put this on my dvr and watch it later. The problem with this episode it timing. El Bulli closed two days ago and will be reopened in 2014 as a "creativity center." Good try, Travel Channel.

Netflix- From Dusk til Dawn. This classic Tarantino movie staring George Clooney shows how excellent visual effects without cgi can be in the 90's. This is a study in classic movie makeup and the beauty of George Clooney. Clooney plays one half of a pair of bank robbers who hide out a, unbeknown to them, vampire bar in Mexico. One wrong move and Clooney is fighting off the vampires with Juliette Lewis and Harvey Keitel.

That's it for tonight. Let me know what I missed.

What to Watch Tonight- Repeats and Derek Jeter

I didn't post a 'What to Watch Tonight' yesterday because not much was on. Today is the same way, but I figured I'd give you something. Anyways, here is what I may or may not watch tonight.

Wipeout (ABC)- I am not sure if this is a repeat or not, but like I said Tuesday, 'Wipeout' is entertaining. Sit down, Relax, and enjoy people making fools of themselves for a chance of celebrity and a cash prize.

Parks and Recreation* (NBC)- Another repeat, but 'Parks and Rec' is one of my favorite shows. In case you have missed the brilliance of this show, head over to Netflix. You can catch the first two seasons there.

Derek Jeter 3k (HBO)- Watch Derek Jeter, in all his glory, on his way to 3,000 hits. Wow, I am bored just writing about this. I would rather watch Bernie Mac try for 3,000 in the 2004 classic 'Mr. 3,000'.

Louie (FX)- "Louie rides the subway and hangs out with a friend." Sounds thrilling. Louie is a good show and deserves an audience, but I completely forget this show is ever on so I will try to catch it tonight.

That's it for tonight. If I am missing anything leave your suggestions in the comments.    

*I picked 'Parks and Recreation' because it's fresher than 'The Office' or '30 Rock' and I just wrote about 'Community' yesterday, either way they are all on tonight.

What to Watch Tonight- Leprechauns

What to Watch Tonight
I will be posting (at my discretion) a list of things to watch on TV. This may become an everyday thing. I guess it depends on my level of dedication.

Wipeout (ABC)- As summer programming goes, this is about as entertaining as it gets. Multiple shots to the dome are funny in any language.

The Office (TBS)- I couldn't choose between all of the garbage on the other major networks, so I went with a classic. The Office is a great show to put on in the background while surfing the web. Try it.

Tosh.0 (Comedy Central)- Tosh does an investigation of the Alabama Leprechaun. If you are one of the few who haven't seen it or you need a reminder you can check it out below.

Netflix (Instant Play)- I recently watch the cancelled Comedy Central series The Benson Interruption. It is good for some laughs as comedian Doug Benson interrupts fellow comedians like Reno 911's Thomas Lennon. He also engages in a "tweet-off" with one of the comedians each episode, which leaves you wishing that you had thought of the tweet first. Overall, good for a slow summer.

That's it for today. Let me know what else I should have posted.
