TV Patrol Saturday: “Watch Me Pull a Gameshow Outta My Ass”.

Saturday is staying true to form with it’s vast amount of wasted airtime. Let’s just get through the night. Sunday will be much better. I promise. Let’s JUMP……

Let’s be sure to tune in and treat Paula like the gift that she is, k?

Here’s the “best” I could find for you guys……..

“RAH! Paula Abdul’s Cheerleading Bowl” airs on MTV at noon today, but is repeated at 5pm. This 90-minute reality show pits five college cheering squads against each other for a primo cover shot on American Cheerleading Magazine (damn, I let my subscription lapse). The winning squad also get to go to MTV’s Spring Break & make “Girls Gone Wild” videos!

Tonight is also the premiere of Ashton Kutcher’s next attempt at a game show on CBS. “A Gameshow in My Head” airs at 8 & 8:30pm. Contestants go out in public with an earphone in their ear & basically do whatever they’re told to do. The more they look like total asswipes, the more money they make. Joe Rogen from “Fear Factor” is the host. I smell a hit, don’t you?

“Underdog to Wonderdog” premieres tonight on Animal Planet at 8pm. This is basically Extreme Makeover for Pooches. A team of ‘doggie experts’ take a stray, unadoptable dog from it’s miserable life in a shelter & transforms the mangy mutt into perfectly pedicured puppy. These lucky little doggies are found good homes & a carpenter even builds them their own custom house. It can’t get any better than that, now can it! This show is then followed by a new episode of “It’s Me or the Dog” at 9pm. Victoria Stillwell gets to teach you how to get control of these pampered, spoiled canines.

What else is NEW tonight:

FOX is airing a NEW “America’s Most Wanted” at 9pm.

“The Graham Norton Show” is NEW on the BBCA at 10pm. His guest will be Brendan Fraser.

HISTORY has sin #6 of their “Seven Deadly Sins” series at 9pm. It’s all about ANGER (Rath to some) tonight. We can all relate to this one. Well, at least I can. I’ve been pissed off three times already today.

NGC’s got “Dangerous Encounters: Jurassic Sharks” at 8pm. A school of rare 6-gilled sharks are observed off the coast of Seattle. Amazing! (zzzzzzzz).

At 9pm, “Break it Down: The Orange Bowl” is all about tearing down Miami’s Orange Bowl and recycling 90% of the materials. Now is that ‘green’, or what!
