Thursday, April 26

Yesterday was Penguin Awareness Day. And I don’t want to suffer our penguin overlords’ wrath by neglecting to inform you of that fact. (Thank you to cattyfan for informing me so that I could inform you!)

In case you were wondering, no, there was no Tonight’s Top 10 Shows yesterday. Because of reasons.

Missing (ABC 8pm) Episode: Measure of a Man

Handy little tip: a standard bank check is 6 inches long, if that helps you put things in better perspective than trying to envision a ruler. I’m just saying.

American Idol (Fox 8pm) Contestants face elimination; Katy Perry performs; The Queen Extravaganza performs.

I’m afraid of what it means for the future of music when tribute bands start becoming this famous.

Grey’s Anatomy (ABC 9pm) The residents travel to San Francisco for the oral boards.

I think the only reason that this sounds dirty to me is because of San Francisco. I’m not sure what that says about me as a person.

Person of Interest (CBS 9pm) Episode: Matsya Nyaya

Hakuna Matata.

Touch (Fox 9pm) A man learns a lesson from a horse while visiting his late father’s ranch.

And that thing is how to perfect his Steinitz Defense.

Don’t Be Tardy To the Wedding (Bravo 9pm) Premiere: Kim Zolciak has Colin Cowie planning her backyard wedding in 8 weeks and the search for the wedding gown begins.

What’s scary is that Bravo ran the numbers and realized that odds are good that enough people will watch this to make it profitable. Please don’t be those people.

The Costco Craze: Inside the Warehouse Giant (CNBC 9pm) Inside the huge and hugely popular Costco, famous for turning the experience of shopping in a warehouse into an adventure.

I just want to know why, no matter what shoes I wear when I go to Costco, I end up getting shocked every time I touch the shopping cart.

Kathy (Bravo 10pm)

Anything could happen.

7 Days of Sex (Lifetime 10pm) A couple with financial hardships has lost their romantic spark; a couple struggle to maintain intimacy.

I did a Google image search for “7 Days of Sex” and I’m pretty much scarred for life.

The Pauly D Project (MTV 10:30pm) Pauly and the boys are asked to perform at an Army base for deploying troops.

Well, that’s one way to make Afghanistan look more appealing.

What will you be watching tonight?

I’m having a nerve block this morning in another attempt to get my back issues under control, so Flipit will be covering for me while I recover.

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.

    fingers, toes and eyes crossed, fer ya SuperB! Read your precap to Hubbycat. When I got to 7DoS he said, “consecutive??!!”

    We listen to Indie, so no prob w/ the tribute band. Still, WTH? I weep for music’s history.

    Oh, and Cattyfan is second only to you as a font of trivia. I hand my Trivial pursuit crown to you both. Sigh.

    I had wondered if it was just me, so I’m glad to know I’m not alone. But WHY?! It’s 2012, surely they can find some way to make it stop. Although, maybe they don’t know because it’s one of those things that no one talks about. We should start a support group.

    I’m not sure that you were sufficiently aware, NWMTV. I mean, there’s awareness (knowing they exist) and then there’s awareness(“Holy hell, is that a penguin lurking behind the very cool yet completely incongruous statue of a fish in the foyer of the public library? It is! What do I do now? Is it watching me? Must. Remain. Calm.”) And that’s the kind of awareness that I’m trying to raise. It’s similar to the “See Motorcycles” campaign; once those bumper stickers and signs started cropping up, I started seeing motorcycles everywhere. Everywhere/.

    It is indeed, both figuratively and, occasionally, literally. Stupid nerve. Hoping this one works better than the last thing we tried, which was a waste of my (insurance company’s, thankfully) money.

    Thanks for the shoutout. (Oo. I just went backward in time by a decade or so.)

    I will keep you in my prayers as you undergo your medical procedure. Make sure there are no spiteful penguins assisting the doctors. You know how vengeful those flightless seabirds can be.

    I think I’d be spiteful and vengeful also if I had wings but couldn’t fly.
