10.29.09 WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: COMEDY BONANZA

The League (FX) — Series premiere. I’ve been checking out the reviews, and the general theme has been “crude and funny like an Apatow comedy, but without the life lessons.” I’m anticipating this show way too much.

Community (NBC) — Tonight looks like a promising Halloween episode. The USA Today guy thinks Joel McHale’s smugness ruins the show, while the New York Post lady admits that her initial negative impression was wrong, and that it’s actually a very funny show.

always-sunny-chickensIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX) — The gang stages a wrestling match for troops returning from overseas. Look at that picture and tell me you’re not intrigued.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Bravo) — Part 1 of a reunion special. Reunion specials: because making a reality show wasn’t lazy and cheap enough.

Tosh.0 (Comedy Central) — Ah, the karmic balance for Jeff Dunham. This combined with the lineups at NBC and FX means I now have 3.5 hours of TV to watch every Thursday. These people have no respect for my desire to go out and start my weekend early.

World Series (Fox) — Game 2: Phillies at Yankees. Living in New York, I’ve met a lot of people I really like who root for the Yankees. They’re smart and passionate people, and it’s given me some respect for the fan base here. But I still want to see the Yankees destroyed.

30 Rock (NBC) — Betty White and Jeff Dunham guest star in an episode in which Tracy Jordan freaks out about the celebrity death phenomenon. The only way this can end to my satisfaction is with Jeff Dunham dying.

Project Runway (Lifetime) — With “Tosh.0″ and “Always Sunny” occupying the 10 o’clock spot on my DVR, I now officially don’t watch “Project Runway.” Between this and quitting “Glee,” I’m pretty much straight again. Woo-hoo!

As if I wasn’t looking forward to The League enough, Jon fucking LaJoie is in the cast. Comedy boner spraying haha all over my face.

pretty much…except for all the gay sex.

AEVC again says:

Even though sometimes a gag can be utterly predictable, if it’s executed as well as that birthday song was, it can still produce the goods. Very funny.

Upstate Underdog says:

If the Yankees lose tonight, at least I’ll have IASIP and The League to cheer me up.

Kid Presentable says:

@UU — agreed. And even though he’s already ripping my heart out and shitting on it, it’s hard for me not to laugh every time Utley comes up thanks to Mac’s love letter.

Aside from Taco’s song, the League has lost me.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! JEFF DUNHAM ON 30 ROCK! THE POISON IS SPREADING!

Otto Man says:

The League was a little disappointing, but I’m willing to give it a chance to improve.

And by willing, I mean “too lazy to change the channel after Sunny.”

Birds of War!

Westbrook Is My-AntiDrug says:

Meh, series premieres are always hit or miss. Aside from “I’ll blow you for $10,” there wasn’t much in the IASIP series premiere, and outside of Kool-Aid Man busting in the courtroom, the Family Guy pilot was underwhelming as well.

The Taco song is enough for me to keep watching the first season. The rest was meh, but so are most pilots.

Stinky Pete says:

Anyone else think Rowdy Roddy Pier deserves an Emmy nomination for that Mickey Rourke impersonation touching portrayal of a washed-up wrestler on Sunny? I had no idea that was him until I caught the credits.

Farthammer says:

Westbrook makes a good point. Not as good of a point as Frank made on Cricket’s throat, but still.

that It’s my life/confessions mash up kicks so much ass
