What’s On Tonight: A Lovable A-Hole

07.07.10 Written by Strange Botwin

Tosh.0 (Comedy Central) — The closest thing left to “appointment viewing television” this summer (until “Mad Men” begins), Mr. Tosh gives the bi-polar and schizophrenic, “Looking for a Girlfriend Guy” a Web Redemption.   This young stud’s video overture kicks off with detailed information about his contact lenses, with a seamless transition into talking about his d*ck.  So what’s the problem?

Toddlers and Tiaras (TLC) — Appointment viewing television for pedophiles and psychotic mothers.

Mythbusters (Discovery) — Ugh, more duct-tape myths.  Mythbuster Kari Byron could probably pass for Christina Hendricks’ uglier, fatter sister.  Wait, she was just pregnant?  Well maybe not her fatter sister then. 

Man v. Food (Travel) — Host Adam Richman stops for Sushi in exotic…….. Salt Lake City, Utah.  Meh, give me “Man vs. Wild” any day.

Billy the Exterminator (A&E) — This show’s tagline should read, “Making ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’ Appear Regal.”

Justin Bieber: My World (E!) — “Justin Bieber’s life and career are the focus.”  This has to be an hour long?  I mean how dare they take away precious airtime from “Kourtney and Khloe Derp Miami.”

Germany vs. Spain (Replay) (ESPN2) — I really think the Germans could have pulled out a win if they wore their throw-back uniforms.  You know, black shorts, khaki shirt, red arm band….

The Real World (MTV) — Apparently, one of the cast members ends up in hospital in this, the second episode of the 24th Season—so they seem to be right on track.  Pedro must be spinning in his grave.  This show needs more C.H.U.D’s!

WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: BARF

American Idol (Fox) — It’s the results show, and viewers will get the added treat of watching Demi Lovato and boyfriend Joe Jonas perform. I caught part of Lovato’s interview on Kimmel the other night; I have no idea how Kimmel survived that moronic hell.

Cougar Town (ABC) — Sheryl Crow begins a three episode arc as a wine rep; producers called the casting their “favorite mistake.” In more interesting news, “Modern Family” is also new this week.

Fly Girls (CW) — Season premiere. Virgin Airlines flight attendants jet around the country and party. Yeah, that’s great. Call me when they’re called stewardesses and they hand out free drinks as easily as their numbers.

Mythbusters (Discovery) — Season premiere. Seems like a good time to remind you that the mustachioed guy is a total douchebag.

The Unit (MyNetworks) — Obviously, these are repeats, since the CBS show got canceled. But I’m including here because I didn’t get a chance to write about David Mamet’s memo outlining how the show’s writers could suck less. Choice quote: “ANY TIME TWO CHARACTERS ARE TALKING ABOUT A THIRD, THE SCENE IS A CROCK OF SH*T.”

The Real World (MTV) — Is it just me, or is this season getting less press than any season in recent history? Please don’t interpret that as me complaining.

Dinner: Impossible (Food) — That series title doesn’t work for me. They should’ve called it “Dishin’: Impossible.”

‘MYTHBUSTERS’ GUY IS A TOTAL DOUCHEBAG

04.24.09 Written by Matt

Jamie Hyneman has won the hearts of millions on “Mythbusters” by doing things like blowing up cement trucks and vaporizing cars on rocket sleds, but that doesn’t mean he’s a joy to work with.  In this video, he complains directly to his assistant about how his work station isn’t exactly the way he likes it.  In the process, he rifles through the work station and holds up every object that he wants it to have.  So it actually has everything he wants, but he’s unhappy that it isn’t the way he wants it.

So now that we know this guy’s an ass, that makes it okay to make fun of his mustache, right?  Because it ain’t the 1860s any more.  Hey, McClellan!  You sucked at Antietam!

HOORAY, ROCKET SLED CAR EXPLOSION!

04.13.09 Written by Matt

One of the more memorable episodes of “Mythbusters” was when Jamie and Adam smashed a stationary car between two semis colliding head-on.  Well, they weren’t satisfied that the car wasn’t completely pancaked, so they went out to the New Mexico desert to smash a car with a steel rocket sled traveling at 650 miles per hour.  Using this precise scientific methodology, they determined that explosions are empirically f-cking awesome.

And if you don’t “Mythbusters” doesn’t show you 800 replays from various angles of a steel rocket sled smashing into a car and a thick concrete wall at close to the speed of sound, then you, my friend, have never seen an episode of “Mythbusters.”   My favorite part is the smashing.
