TV Patrol: Skatin’ Thru Sunday

Rob Dyrdek is launching a new reality series, Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory tonight at 9pm on MTV. He’s built this massive indoor skate park & funhouse in LA. Rob invites his friends over every week to hang out & join in his FUN! I just have one question. What happened to Big? The promos don’t say anything about him. Did they break up? Are they no longer a team? I guess I’ll have to watch & see if he shows up. More Sunday night FUN after the jump……….

MTV is filling out it’s Sunday night with another series premiere. The CollegeHumor Show airs at 9:30pm. It’s the behind-the-scenes, scripted comedy of the employees from the website of the very same name. This is the site that’s given us all those hilarious videos. (You know, the ones we get in our e-mails). They’ve got wit, they’ve got the craziest videos & now they’ve got their own show. (MTV said that). I watched the preview clip & thought it was pretty funny. Remember, it’s a “scripted” comedy, not a reality show. like The Hills.

All is new again on ABC tonight. Here’s what they’re airing for your viewing pleasures.

America’s Funniest Home Videos is on at 7pm, followed by Extreme Make-over: Home Edition at 8pm. A family endures a double tragedy in one year, with the loss of their home to fire & then the drowning death of the father & son. Ty & his crew build them a new home. This is a double tissue box episode.

Desperate Housewives at 9pm, is all about these bitches spending money they can’t afford to spend. Hmmmm, sounds in tune with the times, doesn’t it. One buys a car, while another sells one & that nasty-ass Susan insists on sending MJ to a fancy school they can’t pay for. Brothers & Sisters at 10pm has Nora & that’s all that matters.

NBC has a new edition of Dateline at 8pm. Chris Hanson examines the financial bailout meant to jump-start the economic growth, including measures to prevent abuse of the bail-out money. (Hahahaha! Those who got us in this position don’t know how to stop. The only way to stop them is to put them all in jail.)

Tonight at 9pm, on NBC, is the first part of a 2-part mini-series, XIII. They describe it as a highstakes cat & mouse thriller. The adrenaline-charged miniseries begins dramatically as the first female U.S. president is shot dead by a sniper during her Veteran’s Day speech. Three months later, a wounded man is found in a forest with no memory of his identity. The only clue is a tattoo on his chest ….XIII. It stars Stephen Dorff, as the amnesiac killing machine, accused of the assassination. Has-been movie star, Val Kilmer, is his pursuer. The conclusion will air next Sunday at this time.

CBS has the 51st Annual Grammy Awards at 8pm. The event is being held at the Staples Center in LA & has 24 musical performances, more than any other Grammy show before.

FOX has a new episode of it’s idiotically silly gameshow, A Hole in the Wall at 7pm, followed by a repeat of The Simpsons at 8pm. King of the Hill is all-new at 8:30pm, with Luanne & Lucky finally having their baby. Family Guy at 9pm is also a repeat, but American Dad at 9:30pm is new.

For those of you who get the BBCA, the LIVE presentation of the British Academy of Film Awards 2009 airs at 8pm. The nominees are much the same as our own Academy Awards:

Best Picture Nominees:

Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Frost/Nixon

Milk

Slumdog Millionaire

The Reader

The Best Actor & Best Actress nominees also mirror our own as well. Heath Ledger has once again been honored with a nomination for The Dark Knight. in the supporting actor category.

Big Love is on HBO at 9pm. Last week, Frank was left in the shed, tied to a chair, in front of a freshly dug grave, with a plastic bag over his head. Lois left him there to go answer the phone. I wonder if that crazy loon is really going to kill him! Roman’s finally going to go to trial & Anna agrees to marry everyone of the Henrickson’s except Nikki. I wish Anna would just go away.

A new episode of Flight of the Conchords follows at 10pm.

SHOWTIME has The L-Word at 9pm. The United States of Tara airs at 10pm. I am drawn to this show each week, but I don’t like Tara, just her “others”. When she’s being herself, she sucks & she won’t let her husband f*ck her if she’s ‘Alice’ or ‘T’. ‘Buck’ won’t let him. He’s not a homo. Secret Diary of a Call Girl follows at 10:30pm.

E! has two new episodes of The Girls Next Door at 10 & 10:03pm. The girls bring their moms to the mansion to celebrate Mother’s Day with a day of pampering & a spa treatment. Next it’s off to New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras & flash their boobs to everyone they see.

NGC is premiering it’s new series Morphed with 3 episodes in one night, starting at 8pm. With the use of computer-generated technologies, the ability to see how prehistoric creatures “morphed” into what we see today is studied.

Confessions of a Teen Idol airs at 8pm on VH1. Then my new favorite show, Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels comes on at 9pm. The tequila-drinking, toilet barfing & Bret kissing Brazillian was kicked to the curb last time we watched. This week, Bret brings on 3 new girls because he’s not crazy about the commitment of the other eight still on the bus. Besides, he has two buses to fill. It’s just too early to downsize. Tool Academy airs at 10pm. The whoredogs are hooked to lie-detectors while their girlfriends get to ask them anything they want. I bet the whole bunch are a pack of liars!

Lastly for tonight, I’ve come across a new show on SPIKETV. 1000 Ways to Die airs at 10 & 10:30pm. It showcases some of the most outrageously true stories about those who succumbed to the grim reaper in the most unorthodox styles. All of the deaths are portrayed in reenactments & testimonials. I’m not crazy about watching this one. Sometimes I think we go a bit too far when entertaining the viewing audience. I’m not saying I won’t watch it. I will check it out once, to see for myself if it’s worth being on TV. I’ll let you know.

There ya go everybody. There’s a lot going on tonight. I’m going to have a hard time programming my dvr, that’s for sure. I’m definitely watching the Grammys. Big Love is a must also. Oh! The Love Bus is another one… & oh yah, I have to watch Tara too. It’s going to be a long night!

love
