Everything is bigger in Texas—especially the fail.

You work at NASA, fool! Turn one of those astronomy satellites around and find yourself an even hotter woman.

NY Ink (TLC, 9 pm) After an inspiring tattoo, Ami invites a group of at-risk teens to the shop.

If you know you’re going to wind up in the joint, you might as well get a head start on your tats.

Jersey Shore (MTV, 10 pm) Mike learns that Danny has threatened to get new roommates; the ladies hire strippers for Pauly and Mike’s birthday party; the roommates try to kidnap Vinny.

But they get lost, run out of gas, and the next morning, nobody can figure out how Mike got poison oak on his genitals.

By day, I'm an editor. That means I get a cruel thrill out of identifying the parts of other people's creative projects that suck, and alerting those people to said suckage. Sometimes, I get paid for it. I've been known to lose my appetite after seeing how a Thai menu has folded, spindled, and mutilated the Queen's English. Imagine what TV does to me! I guess that's why I wanted to be a recapper at TVgasm. My friends have heard all of my rants, and they are sick of them. TVgasm is a whole new captive audience! So, let's make a compact, you and I: you agree to read my recaps and take what amusement you can from them, and I agree to put into the print the outrageous observations about the show that you thought, but were too PC to say. Let's share our joyous rage after wasting another perfectly good hour in front of the television.

Oh, and I still believe that Magnum, P.I. was the greatest show on television. Although I have not seen Thomas Magnum fishtail that Ferrari in the opening credits since I was 14. If Magnum, P.I. actually sucked, keep your damn squeal hole shut and don't ruin it for me, OK?

    Jerseyj was (at least among) the first to observe that The Shore needs a new cast of obnoxious idiots. Let’s hope….

    Does anyone know why 90% of the shows tonight are repeats? I don’t see any special broadcast or sports game on…..what am I missing?

    Good call Vallegirl. I was going to say because the state of the union on Tuesday and so everything stays on track everything is a repeat this week. Except the teen dramas (i.e. Gossip Girl, 90210, They Lying Game, Pretty Little Liars) they know people like us either don’t understand what they are talking about because no one called anyone a bitch or we will get a recap from The Daily Show.

    In high school my sister relieved herself in the woods and told my mother she had no clue how she got that terrible case of poison ivy on her undercarriage. She later paid for lying to our mother (don’t we all?) because she got so drunk at the next creek party that, although she checked for poison ivy, she fell backwards into a cactus. She said mother was very enthusiastic about pulling out the cacti needles.

    Nikki repeats don’t show up in Hulu for Colbert and Daily and their shows have been there all week.

    Fridays are tough to mine for snark because it’s where shows go to die. And repeats are rife because TV thinks were all out boozing and mating, or stargazing, or dealing out vigilante justice, or something else constructive.

    But I do appreciate you slamming your eyeballz up against my Top 10 listings. My therapist says I need to make a contribution, do something that only I can. So this is it.
