The Jeff Dunham Show (Comedy Central) — Series premiere (it wasn’t on last night as I mistakenly reported yesterday). A very nice PR lady from Comedy Central actually asked me to embed the above video, writing, “Any way you can post this trailer for me for the premiere tomorrow? I’d really appreciate it.” Oh, honey. I’m not so sure that you will. Here’s the face I made throughout the entirety of this video. Just absolute disgust.
Community (NBC) — The debate as to whether this is better than “Modern Family” is over, I think: last night’s episode of “Modern Family” positively CRUSHED it. There is a zero percent chance that anything that lives on ABC could possibly be funnier.
American Chopper (TLC) — Season premiere. Possibly the least idiotic thing on TLC.
30 Rock (NBC) — Guest star Will Arnett is back this week as Devin, Kenneth volunteers at an animal shelter and don’t forget that Savanna Samson will appear as “Porn Liz.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Bravo) — Season finale. I’d express some kind of relief that this is over, but the O.C. version will probably just start up again next week. Guhhhhhh. At least MTV has the consideration to only do one “Real World” in one location at a time.
Flash Forward (ABC) — A once-promising show is starting to get savaged by reviewers who are calling it bland and “a big sopping mess of nothingness.” Ruh roh.
Survivor: Samoa (CBS) — One of the challenges is halted when a contestant needs emergency medical attention. Host Jeff Probst claims it was the most scared he’s ever been. But then again, he’s the host of reality TV show. It’s not like he storms Fallujah on a regular basis.

A tank top, Matthew? Really?
You guys still use a dial, right?
I think WarmingGlow is LONG overdue for a Sofia Vergera in various states of undress post.
Why must we pit Community and Modern Family against each other? We should consider them allies against awful television and celebrate both. Here’s hoping scripted television continues to improve and regains control of the dial!
I guess you didn’t like it, Matt, but what did Everlast and DJ Lethal think?
I was wondering if Matt was being facetious because I’ve been considering giving this show a go.
I’m going to have to disagree. Modern Family feels a little forced to me. Community is amazing, and tonight’s episode might have been the best yet.
That ventriloquist show will be god awful. But it’ll stay on the air for a few seasons at least.
Believe it or not, that untalented assclown was the third highest grossing comedian of the past year. No, seriously. #1 is Jerry Seinfeld. #2 is Chris Rock. And #3 is this mouth-moving mouthbreather with the black pimp puppet.
I guess humor really is relative.
Better Off Ted is funnier than Modern Family.
Only slightly, but since I work at a defense company, the humor hits much closer to home.
not just a train wreck, but a train wreck where everybody dies. Including everybody in the vicinity. Just like Triumph, except not funny.
And you may be right about American Chopper being the least idiotic thing on the network, which is sad when one constantly hears the phrase, “youz guyz, I got an idear.”
If Mind of Mencia can survive 4 seasons on Comedy Central, this steaming load might last a season. I can’t believe in the year 2009 a ventriloquist gets a TV show. I saw the trailer, the guys lips fucking move like he’s Howard Cosell, which just makes him an asshole with a puppet on his lap.
Zack, I think you’ll enjoy it most if you pretend it’s real and you’re Ed O’Neil, by which I mean blublbublbu (Motorboat Sofia Vergara)).
I’d give Dunham three weeks until cancellation, but everything else on Comedy Central is so bad, this might actually be a ratings bonanza for them.
/Gouges out eyeballs, eardrums
I’m definitely not saying Community is beaten yet. There’s always hope for an asshole main character. And Chevy Chase’s song at the end of the last episode absolutely killed me.
here is a zero percent chance that anything that lives on ABC could possibly be funnier.
DVR’d Modern Family last night, and I have a question for those who have already watched it – will I enjoy it more if I’m drunk or sober?
/already enjoys it a lot.
