WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: WHALE VS. WHALE
07.17.09Whale Wars (Animal Planet) — Sigh. It’s still not about whales fighting each other.
Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? (Fox) — Star Jones and wildlife guy Jack Hanna. As if these people are what it takes to make you say to yourself, “Y’know what? I don’t usually watch that show, but Star Jones? THE Star Jones? Honey, cancel our dinner reservations!”
The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien (NBC) — Seth Rogen and tween hero/jailbait Demi Lovato. Steven Ho and Seth Green tonight. [Rogen and Lovato are next Friday. My B.] Conan needs us, people. He came in third in the ratings last week. Behind “Nightline.” Ouch. Make your parents watch him already.
Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? (truTV) — Answer: yes. I just saved you an hour.
Boxing (HBO) — I can’t tell from the listings which of the various HBOs this is on, but the channel is re-running all three classic fights between Mickey Ward and the recently-murdered Arturo Gatti.
Chopping Block (NBC) — I’d be a huge fan of this show if it were about the French Revolution. Because people got their heads, you know, the guillotine– whatever. It’s 5:00 on Friday and I made a whale Photoshop, what else do you want from me?
Bored this weekend? Keep me company over at With Leather — I’ll be posting over there about sports and sport-like things.


Conan was repeats during the ratings last week.
Twitter Tracker is great though
Big fan of Conan but the Tonight Show so far, not so good. Monologues way too long, crappy guests and too many “Universal Studio Lot” skits. Bring back the Interrupter!
Amazing banner pic. I salute you sir.
Walter Cronkite. Dead at 92. When will this end God?! When?!! Stop robbing us of our celebrities who are in the prime of their youth!!
@RoboPanda: maybe you got an assist from all the bourbon I’ve been drinking, but you just cracked me up and I salute you, sir.
Did We Land on the Moon?
You can point a telescope at the moon and see equipment and shit we left up there, but, yeah, telescopes are a conspiracy, man.
I like Conan, but I’m glad Letterman is finally getting some ratings after years of being trounced by that hack Leno.
Whoops. Corrected.
Yo Matt, its Steven Ho and Seth Green on Conan tonight… Seth Rogen is next Friday.
I want to make sweet, sticky love to that banner pic.
Hey Matt – no idea how to email you tips, and this could have already been covered but I have been in class all day and heaven forbid I click on previous entries.
But this is horseshit: http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/07/17/fox-is-recasting-futurama/
I wasn’t ready for that banner pic. Outstanding.
