11.01.09 WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: NOT FOOTBALL :(

evaamurri-californication2

Californication (Showtime) — Rick Springfield guest stars as himself, and yet I used a banner image of Eva Amurri as Hank’s preferred stripper/student. Hardly seems fair, but I have no intention of apologizing.

60 Minutes (CBS) — Mickey Andy Rooney provides the best two minutes of television I never watch. Second place: David Caruso in the opening scene of every “CSI: Miami.”

World Series (Fox) — Game 4, Yankees at Phillies. The World Series is fine. I enjoy it.  But it pisses me off that the NFL and NBC cancel Sunday Night Football because of it.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (ABC) — A firefighter, his EMT wife, and their daughters get house to replace their crappy trailer. Prepare for a bus — and your heart — to be moved.

Dexter (Showtime) — I hear that this season’s been terrific so far. I apologize for not being able to watch every good show on TV. I’ll get around to watching it on DVD in the next three or four years. Maybe.

Styl’d (MTV) — Series premiere. Aspiring fashion stylists try to get a job at some celebrity styling agency. I really love the apostrophe. It saves so much more space than that bulky e.

The Girls Next Door (E!) — This show still exists, apparently. Kind of sad.

Mad Men (AMC) — It’s the season’s penultimate episode, and I highly doubt that it can be as depressing as last week’s show. Look for more Pete and Peggy, and less Roger. Bummer.

Mickey Rooney would make 60 Minutes at least eight times awesomer. Which isn’t saying much.

Dom says:

Matt, you drinking the heavy stuff while watching football? Mickey Rooney was Andy Hardy from the “A Family Affair” series of movies.

Andy Rooney is the only reason I watch 60 Minutes

Dom says:

Damn, did you have Punte type this up for you? There’s an apostrophe error in the “Mad Men” write up, too.

When reached for comment, Rick Springfield said of Amurri, “You know I wish I had that chesty girl.”

I imagine apostrophes are easier to smuggle up your butt, too.

@Dom – Actually, I omitted a word; there was no apostrophe error.

Good call on that one. By the way, Matt, did you think of Peter King when Pete complained about the water-flavored hot coco?

Matt says:

Yeah, this week’s episode was pretty fucking depressing all right.

You know what’s really fucking depressing, Matt?

The Cowboys, Yankees and Lakers all winning on the same day.

Multiple sportsgasms for the front-runners everywhere!

Still one mistake up there Matt.

They changed it to “Extreme Pimp My House: Heartwarming Story Edition” after Xzibit signed on.

/The only time he was useful was when they went shopping for a flat screen, I shit you not
