WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: DEADLY WEDDING!
01.28.10
Sorry for the slightly abbreviated day. I have to drive to Massachusetts for a wedding tomorrow. Yes: a Friday wedding. In Massachusetts. In January. I’ve been one day off all week because of it. I got a parking ticket this morning because I thought last night was Thursday when I parked in a “No Parking Thursday 8:00-9:30 a.m.” zone. And I started this What’s On Tonight by writing down a bunch of Friday shows. Trust me, it’s for the best that I wrap this day up as soon as possible.
Fringe (Fox) — This episode’s description, from Yahoo: “When a group of guests at a Boston-area wedding suffocate from the inside out, the team must investigate how the toxin was delivered and targeted. But once they bring the evidence to the lab, they realize that the wedding ceremony was a testing ground for a weaponized science experiment.” I really hope that’s not an omen.
Live for the Moment (CBS) — Jeff Probst hosts this special about a man deciding to do extraordinary things after he gets diagnosed with ALS. Prediction: saccharine treacle.
Archer (FX) — I just had the sad realization that I won’t get to watch this episode until Sunday night. Don’t ruin it for me!
The Deep End (ABC) — I haven’t talked to anyone who caught the premiere last week? What’s the verdict? C’mon, some of you chicks starving for Ally McBeal 2.0 must’ve seen it.
Project Runway (Lifetime) — Ooohhhh, it’s one of the episodes where the contestants have to work in teams! Guaranteed to provide 70% more gay bitchiness!

“Is he clean? Matt likes his guys clean.”
Tell him to take off his shoes and come in for a cocktail
I put the over/under on number of times Massholes discuss the Lowell trade with you at a solid 15.
The Deep End…
I just started law school this month and to be honest I was starving for some Aly McBeal 2.0, I won’t pretend that I wasn’t. I wanted a show to inspire me to believe that one day my life can turn out to mirror an ABC Thursday night drama-dy, a la Grey’s for med school girls.
Two weeks into my legal education and The Deep End confirmed my biggest fear. Not only does law school suck, but being a first year lawyer is too depressing to suck, it’s sad. It’s very sad and very boring. Billy Zane’s eyes do not both look forward. I don’t know if I just never caught this before, but it’s the only entertaining aspect of the entire program. I watched the full hour of it just for Billy Zane close-ups and the twinges of masochistic terror that I just picked a life path that television writers can’t even manage to make appealing. Fantastic. Thank you ABC, just what I needed.
Furthermore, this show is based in the past, no one fresh out of law school makes the kind of money this show assumes. As the person I watched it with said, “It’s sad that even the writers realize this show won’t make it past the six episodes ABC ordered.”
Goddammit, #4 = Swingers references.

If it helps, I know a good Gucci and Christian Audigier guy.
Is he clean? Matt likes his guys clean.
Strange Botwin:
Goe fuck you’rself. Those ware all my idees.
Wear something distinctive to the wedding, Matt.

Wear something distinctive to the wedding, Matt. That way, if you’re on the news, we’ll know which body is yours.
There’s three things I like about the comment sections at this blog:
#1 People’s attention to grammar relative to the rest of the internet. (Thank you for humbly correcting yourself Smello).
#2 Our ability to exercise common decency by sticking on topic, not hating on our own, and giving credit where credit is due.
#3 The fact that instances like the fuck-face guy above me (ahfieaadahief) who post spam occur very minimally, and will likely be deleted by Matt soon. But joke’s on you anyway ass-hat, you think you are are going to sell Ed Hardy T-Shirts and Prada handbags to anyone on THIS site? HA! We buy that shit retail homey!
I had no idea that TAWWWW-MY FROM QUINZEE was getting hitched.
This robot’s trying to peddle Ed Hardy to the exact opposite demographic it should be. I think it’s all the Jersey Shore coverage. Oddly, no $16 Affliction t-shirts. Weak sauce, robot.
Yes: a Friday wedding. In Massachusetts. In January.
That bride’s deserving of a good yanking.
/going back to the well
Bang one of Scott Brown’s daughters when you’re there. They’re available!
The Deep End was boring. You can tell by the way I watched the pilot and can now remember nothing about it. I think there were lawyers…and maybe a British guy? There were definitely cupcakes. I remember the cupcakes.
@ UU – coincidentally, he’ll be dancing with himself at that wedding.
some of you chicks starving for Ally McBeal 2.0 must’ve seen it.
please tell me that was intentional… if it was, you are a genius
Your not You’re.
/embarrassed
Wedding tomorrow in MA? Enjoy the snow, looks like it’s going to be a white wedding.
/yeeeaaahhhhhhh!
You’re friends choose some very odd times/places to wed. Didn’t you also attend a mid-winter wedding in NH?
/why yes, I keep a Matt related diary. It makes the stalking easier.
Massachusetts? It’s not one of those weddings where the two guys get all gay with each other is it?
You thought last night was Wednesday when you parked there. You said Thursday, but I can read your head.
/sorry, had to.
Gonna be in Boston?
