Jersey Shore (MTV) — The long-awaited series premiere. And holy crap, I had to check the listings AND my DVR guide to believe this, but it looks like the premiere is TWO HOURS LONG. That’s a greasy meat-a-ball!

BBQ Pitmasters (TLC) — Series premiere. The only thing surprising about this show is that cable television created at least four shows about MAKING CAKES before getting to something awesome like barbecue. Speaking of…

Ace of Cakes (Food) — Right on cue.

College Football (ESPN) — Oregon State at Oregon. Beavers! Ducks! Civil War! Winner goes to the Rose Bowl! Get excited! *watches sitcoms*

Community (NBC) — I think I’m at the point where this is my favorite show in NBC’s Thursday lineup, even more so than “30 Rock.” I’m just that gay for Joel McHale, I guess.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX) — “Mac and Charlie Write a Movie.” Dee gets a role in an M. Night Shyamalan film, and that’s really all I need to hear. My hopes are pretty high for this one.
