Thursday, May 3

Niccolò Machiavelli and his wiles were born on this day in 1469.

Missing (ABC 8pm) As Giancarlo and Becca race to find Azimoff (Karel Roden), Violet and Dax try to apprehend Becca; an enemy is revealed.

Do you ever feel like shows give people “cool” names just to suck people into watching them? “Violet and Dax” has an alluring ring to it. Not alluring enough to make me watch Ashley Judd on a weekly basis, though.

The Big Bang Theory (CBS 8pm) Wedding plans are jeopardized when NASA reschedules Howard’s mission; Leonard says something in the bedroom that surprises Penny.

Community (NBC 8pm) Course Listing Unavailable: When a beloved classmate dies unexpectedly, Britta uses skills from psychology class to counsel the study group; Chang tries to seize more control over campus security.

Community has been pretty hit or miss this season; here’s hoping this one’s a hit.

American Idol (Fox 8pm) A finalist is eliminated; performances by Carrie Underwood and Coldplay.

Bringing out the big guns to (try and) alleviate the tedium of the soul-sucking 48-month long season of American Idol, I see.

30 Rock (NBC 8:30) Queen of Jordan 2: Mystery of the Phantom Pooper

As long as there’s plenty of D’Fwan, I’ll be happy.

Touch (Fox 9pm) Following Jake’s numbers, Martin helps a Frenchwoman find her biological mother and twin sister; when an astronaut loses contact with Earth, his superstitious wife frets.

This show is just so ridiculously implausible. There aren’t enough wooly suspenders in the world.

How It’s Made (The Science Channel 9pm) Canvas wall tents; peace pipes; shredded wheat cereal; cannons.

Leave your best scenario for those four items being used together in the comments. Best comment wins a super-duper prize!

Scandal (ABC 10pm) Crash and Burn: Olivia and her team help defend the pilot of a commercial plane that crashed, killing all onboard.

That’s just an insensitive episode title.

7 Days of Sex (Lifetime 10pm) A couple with three children struggle to keep their romance alive; a wife hopes to loosen up her uptight husband.

I’ve heard a high colonic can work wonders, but most people probably don’t want to introduce that into their love-making.

The Pauly D Project (MTV 10:30pm)

It’s like the poor man’s version of Entourage.

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.

    Those guys are probably smarter than any of those doofi on Entourage.

    There was some old documentary on the Charles and Diana wedding on the other day, and there was this flamingay wedding planner/train straightener/royal flit-a-bout that had something to do with the wedding. I wonder if he was the Original Homosexual Party Planner?

    Or if, like syphillis, HPPs have been with the human race from the start?

    Tried it. My lawsuit against the manufacturer of ColonBuddy is on the federal docket for June 2016.

    That epi of Scandal had me confused. I was thinking that if all aboard the plane perished, how could they defend the pilot? Then it occurred to me and my forehead is a wee bit flatter now.

    Here’s my effort on the contest: I’m so excited.

    “Okay, Niccolò, step back and put down that Shredded Wheat cannon. We’ll go inside the canvas wall tent and smoke a peace pipe, provided, that is, that we don’t start a fire.”

    Hey, Gasmii!!! SuperB goes to a ton of work to think up these contests with fabulous prizes! You aren’t going to let it go by default (of your not entering) are you? Sheesh!

    Thanks, SSC, but if they don’t want to play, it’s their loss! I do give fabulous prizes, though.

    Don’t know if I am eligible, but here goes:

    Between Michael and Fredrik:

    M: Daddy has asked me to sell this lovely canvas wall tent. Being a professional, I know all the history, including that it was used to smoke peace pipes during the Battle of Little Big Horn. For some reason, though, Daddy Warbucks wants you to help me, but I know if you are willing to display your cannon, you are willing to do anything to get ahead, and that’s just not professional. I think I will professionally sulk away and got eat shredded wheat with my sockless shoes propped on the desk.

    F: Fuck you.

    Okay, folks, I’m giving y’all until noon my time (which is in 2 1/2 hours) to get in on the comment contest, otherwise the grand prize is going to either S-Natch or snowshoecat.

    Well I think that we ALL know who the clear winner is. I have my concession speech just about finished. And I must admit that it is far and away better than my entry. I can’t believe the Gasmii are all so, so passive.

    Allrighty then, the prize goes to S-Natch who completely kicked ass by not only connecting all four items, but also tying it in to one of the shows that she recaps. And a participation prize goes to SSC because she’s the only other person who wanted to play with me. E-mail me your info, ladies, and in due course you will each receive a shiny and magnificent prezzie in the mail.
