Dancing With the Stars (ABC 8pm) The couples perform meaningful dances using a style of their choosing.

Isn’t it a bit early in the season to start playing sob stories? They’re all going to be doing waltzes and crap to honor their brother’s girlfriend’s babysitter’s triumph over problem hangnails and crap like that. I would do the twist scene from Pulp Fiction, because it is full of meaning for me — and that meaning is, how awesome is Quentin Tarnatino?!

The Voice (NBC 8pm) Vocalists from two teams compete against each other.

Blake – “Look, there goes my career!” Cee Lo – “Look, there go some boobies!” Christina – “This is as far as my face will move now, and that’s not a peace sign, I was trying to give that miniature bald horn-dog bunny ears.” Adam – “You! Call my agent now and get me out of this!”

Bones (Fox 8pm) When the remains of an escaped convict are found in the sewer, the investigation reveals the man died in prison; Brennan gives birth in unconventional circumstances.

Just when I thought this show might actually survive a Booth/Brennan romance and surprise baby, they pull out Scripted TV Show Cliche #42 – Always have your main character give birth in “unconventional circumstances.” I thought you respected me more than that, Bones.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family 8pm) Episode: Defiance — Amy decides to attend summer school instead of going to work.

What a rebel!

2012 NCAA Basketball Tournament (CBS 9pm) Finals: Kansas vs. Kentucky: From the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

Since Hurricane Katrina, over $500 million dollars have been spent on repairing and remodeling the Superdome. Because of all of the places in the state of Louisiana after August 2005, that was clearly the best place to spend that kind of money. And this is (one of the many reasons) why I hate professional sports.

House (Fox 9pm) The team treats an Army veteran who refuses treatment unless he and his brother are given information about their dead father; Adams seeks help when she suspects House is sick.

If this season ends with House dying… I wouldn’t really care at all.

Styled by June (VH1 9:30pm) Aubrey O’Day wants a transformation.

The first step is admitting that you have a problem, Aubrey. Well done.

Castle (ABC 10pm) An attractive detective from Scotland Yard (Brett Tucker) teams up with Castle and Beckett to investigate the murder of his friend’s daughter; Lanie tries to talk Beckett into making a move on Castle.

I love this show, but I say we all band together, kidnap Nathan Fillion, Neil Patrick Harris, and Joss Whedon, lock ‘em in a studio somewhere and not let them out until they’ve made a sequel to Dr. Horrible. Who’s with me?

Smash (NBC 10pm) Julia and Tom must find a title for the recently reinvigorated musical; Ivy and Karen compete for an orange juice commercial; Frank makes a discovery.

I hope he found his balls.

Bethenny Ever After (Bravo 10pm) Bethenny can’t escape the scandals that come with making more money so she addresses the rumors head on with TV appearances.

What will you be watching tonight?

About

After giving birth to her fourth child, SuburBint carefully weighed the options and decided that recapping reality TV was probably a better choice in the long run than alcoholism. Liver function tests have yet to confirm the wisdom of this decision. Being an honest-to-goodness recapper is also a dream come true, as she has aspired to do this ever since discovering that such a thing existed way back in 2002.

Her favorite shows of all time include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Coupling, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Firefly, Community, Parks and Recreation, Doctor Who, and Veronica Mars. She can also quote The Big Lebowski in its entirety, and will do so with little to no provocation.

    I actually made the Skinnygirl poster with an online “Keep Calm and…” poster generator. If you have a few minutes to spare, go to etsy.com and do a “keep calm” search. 250 pages of all sorts of crap, it is truly remarkable.

    The Bones I once loved would have just started the season with the baby already born. Ugh. I miss good Bones. It’s sad when the gimmick ep with Kevin Alejandro homaging John Turturro in The Big Lebowski, and not super well, is the clear highlight of the season.

    (with the Bones season lowlight being the five-minute convo with Lab Tech Clark about how much Brennan’s boobs hurt.)

    Okay, I just looked at that picture of Aurbey O’Day, and the first thought to pop into my mind was “why so serious Son?”

    Also, I kind of like to watch The Voice because Christina seems on hell bent on dressing in a size 2 even though she’s not 20 anymore. Well that and she gets a little slurry when she talks sometimes. She’s like a mash-up of Mariah and Paula, Oh, and am I the only one who thinks every time Cee Lo talks to a female contestant, that you could pause the show and a person from HR could say “and can anyone tell me how what the man just said could be viewed as sexual harassment?”

    And as for the top of the page SuburBint, it looks like somebody got Gmail Tap, very cool!

    Agreed. I think they’ve done fairly well so far, all things considered, but they’ve reallllly been flirting with all of the things that inevitably spell show death. Not sure they can keep it up too much longer without completely jumping the shark, and I’m not sure there’s a way to save it.

    One of the reasons I hate professional sports is because the media insists on interviewing athletes about their work as if the media honestly expects the athlete to say something different than “Well, we just played [better/worse] than the other team, and we scored [more/less] points, and [opponent's team's name] is just a heckuva team.”

    Fucking riveting, Mr. [quarterback/goalie/forward/1st baseman/table tennis guy. Really, thanks for taking the time.

    My “meaningful dance” would be the dance Beavis and Butthead used to do: the pelvic thrusts and the ass slapping moves? Remember that dance, whenever Metallica or something came up on MTV? I dedicate it to the dying, rotting corpse of The Bachelor, which the Voice (of all shows) absolutely murdered in the ratings on the night of the Bachelor finale.

    There’s also a small chance, due to linguistic drift, that it says “Devil Bunny wants a ham.”

    Love the Braille!!! And of course I’m with you, SuperB. I’ll bring the champaigne. Okay, cheap white wine and a selltzer bottle, but you get the idea.

    I have crushed on John Turturro ever since the BL– well and Jeff Bridges too. I’m fickle. But a not-so-well-done “homage” would not be a good thing.

    Just hate grown men being paid huge amounts of money to play games and have us build huge arenas for them to show off.

    Au contraire. Pete Sampras often spoke honestly like how he wasn’t too disappointed when he lost in the quarters at the US Open because he was overwhelmed by the media hounding him after he won his first Open and they pilloried him for that. So he switched to laughing at reporters asking him how he played that day, telling them if they ask better questions he’ll give answers that will get them better jobs and shit-talking his opponents by pointing out the big difference between him and Pat Rafter was, at the time, ten Slam titles.

    But he played tennis so his interviews weren’t widely covered. And the media decided to call him boring so his barely contained, and yet well-earned, contempt for them didn’t get much play.

    And, technically, college basketball isn’t “professional.” HAHAHAHAHA.

    Technically, except for the occasional scandal. Love college sports, esp. tennis and fast pitch women’s softball. I used to enjoy tennis before they all began to sound like they were in hard labor.

    I went to the University of Florida so a stipulation of graduation was to pledge undying fealty to the Orange and Blue, but I always felt a bit of pride in my school when they placed fourth on SI’s inaugural “best jock schools” issue because of the strength of their women’s programs. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure Florida fields a women’s team in every competitive women’s sport and that’s a lot of free rides for female athletes.

    Agreed NWMTV. I wish that athlete could be more honest about how they felt a game went. The media hounds them for answers but when someone is honest about their play or someone else play or the fucking coach calling a time out to ice their own kicker (wait where was I going with this…oh yeah) you can’t say anything about it.

    Sports are pretty emotional so I don’t understand why after a receiver drops a pivotal pass you ask him after the game why he turned over the gatorade table. He was mad stupid reporter man. He dropped a key pass. But alas I am sure we will never see those days.

    The game was pretty much a dud anyway. Kentucky had the game won in warm ups.
