07.24.09 WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: GOTTA NUKE SOMETHING

Whale Wars (Animal Planet) — The one good thing about there being nothing good on TV on Friday is that it forced me to notice the existence of “Whale Wars,” the notion of which — if not the show itself — has enriched my life deeply.  Check the full-size poster of “Nuke the Whales” below. (source)

Torchwood: Children of Earth (BBC America) — The thrilling conclusion to the epic miniseries.  **looks around** It’s okay, I haven’t been watching it, either.

Surviving Suburbia (ABC) — Nobody has anything to say about this show, so I’ll talk about another ABC sitcom from Friday nights: “Full House.”  Yeah, that’s a lousy segue, but it was the best way I could think of to link to the last picture taken of the entire “Full House” cast together.  Of course, a reunion will never happen, as Dave Coulier died this summer (hey, if we all wish hard enough, it might just happen).

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (AMC) — Probably my favorite Western, despite the miserable inclusion of a Burt Bacharach song.  “Can I move?  I shoot better when I move.”

What Not to Wear (TLC) — I just realized I haven’t bought a new shirt in something like a year.  Makes me even more excited for this.

Roadhouse (CMT) — Holy crap!  Butch & Sundance & Dalton & Garrett in one night!  Tonight is going to be way more metal than I thought it was going to be.  I’ll have to cancel my reservations at the brothel.
