11.13.09 WHAT’S ON THIS WEEKEND: FOOTBALL, WAR, & JANUARY JONES ON ‘SNL’
FRIDAY: There is nothing good on tonight. Or any Friday night. Ever. It’s television’s collective hangover from blowing its wad on Thursday night.
SATURDAY: Assorted college football. Check local listings and Every Day Should Be Saturday for more. Later, January Jones hosts “Saturday Night Live.” She was actually a comedic actress before landing “Mad Men,” so there’s justification for setting your expectations too high. Pictured: Jones on “Late Night” earlier this week after playing beer pong with Jimmy Fallon.
SUNDAY: Your usual allotment of NFL action, punctuated by Patriots-Colts on Football Night in America (NBC). I’ll be rooting for the Pats because Tom Brady is so handsome on my fantasy team some reason that isn’t gay. Also:
The Simpsons (Fox) — Say what you will about it falling off, but at least it wasn’t created by Seth MacFarlane. If you prefer to watch funny cartoons, you may wish to instead catch ‘Venture Bros.” on Cartoon Network at midnight.
Untamed & Uncut (Animal Planet) — Animal Planet is now officially making its shows sound like porn titles.
WWII in HD (History) — Starts at 9:00 Eastern/8:00 Central. If you don’t watch this, just plan on not participating at Warming Glow next week. And forget about getting a Christmas card from me. Watch preview clips here.

Eh, there is The Soup on Friday…but that’s a dish best served hungover late Saturday morning on the DVR.
