Thursday, March 8

Let’s all drink lots of water today in celebration of World Kidney Day! Flush those puppies out!

Sweet Potato Casserole, you guys, the listings just get bleaker and bleaker every week! We are officially in the March television doldrums. I would recommend that you either park it on NBC all night, or milk Netflix Instant Viewing for whatever it has to offer that you haven’t seen yet. Or, you know, go out and interact with people. That’s always an option, I suppose.

ABC (8pm – 11pm) Wipeout re-run, Grey’s Anatomy re-run, Private Practice re-run.

Just in case you’re behind on any of those shows.

The Big Bang Theory (CBS 8pm) Sheldon plans a video game marathon with the guys instead of attending a birthday party for Amy’s aunt.

There was a time when I would have chosen a video game marathon over my own birthday party. (I miss you, World of Warcraft. Call me!)

30 Rock (NBC 8pm) Liz rejects Kenneth’s new authority over TGS.

“In five years, we’ll either all be working for him — or be dead by his hand.” Still waiting, Donaghey!

American Idol (Fox 8pm) The contestants face elimination; performances by Mary J. Blige and Lauren Alaina.

And the week after that, the contestants will face elimination. And then the week after that, the contestants will face elimination. And then, in a surprising twist, the contestants will face elimination the following week as well.

Parks and Recreation (NBC 8:30) April and Ron help ready Andy for his final exam.

April + Ron = Awesome. April + Andy = Awesomesauce. April + Ron + Andy = Better go pee before watching unless you were planning on buying a new sofa anyway.

Person of Interest (CBS 9pm) Reese and Finch are puzzled when the machine names a 6-month-old baby as the latest person of interest.

Hasn’t every person, of interest or not, been six months old at one point? Just sayin’.

The Office (NBC 9pm) After Robert reveals his contempt for Nellie’s (Catherine Tate) business plan, Jim tries to save Dwight’s job; Andy discovers that Erin isn’t returning to Scranton.

Nellie is no Donna Noble.

You know what I’m talking about.

Swamp People (The History Channel 9pm) Episode: Avenged

Maybe this is the episode when Bernard and Bianca will finally show up.

Project Runway (Lifetime 9pm) Episode: Let’s Get Down to Business

Let’s get down to business ’til this show is won/Even though it sucks balls without Tim Gunn/You’re the gayest bunch I ever met, but you can bet before we’re through/Scarlett, we’ll find a man just for you!

Jersey Shore (MTV 10pm) Mike tells Jionni that he hooked up with Snooki; Deena faces a hard truth; Vinny and Pauly pull a prank while the roommates are camping.

Are you all as excited as I am?

 

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.

    It’s also International Women’s Day. Just thought you ought to know. I mean, kidneys rock and all, but so do women ;)

    I did quibble a bit over whether to publicize International Women’s Day or World Kidney Day. I’m totally pro-women, being one myself, but the humble kidney is so rarely celebrated, and had more interesting Google image search results. Also, my BFF has kidney disease, so the cause is near and dear to my heart.

    It’s also Anal Gland Health Day. The veterinarians across the United States would like you to understand that your dogs’ anal glands are not just going to take care of themselves, you know.

    How would you even know if Grey’s Anatomy or Private Practice was a re-run? One annoying person fucks another annoying person. Some other annoying person screws up the medical case of an annoying patient because they were stressing over the fact that they fucked a fourth annoying person. I can’t even tell the two shows apart, much less if I’ve seen the episode before…

    I actually googled “Anal Gland Health Day” to see if I had missed it when looking for interesting things about March 8. Well played, NWMTV. Well played.

    There’s a Day for everything. When somebody in Congress needs filibuster material, they go to the pile of bills to “make Aug 23rd National Ferret Bite Awareness Day”, etc.

    There actually is a National Appliance Month (it might be June, I don’t remember, but I had to write a news article about it years ago). I imagine Frigidaire donated heavily to someone’s campaign to get THAT shit up to the top of the pile…

    Netflix just added Queer Eye for the Straight Guy to its Watch Instantly. So yeah, you know where I’ll be.
