Just in case you don’t have Jane Lynch fatigue yet.

Millionaire Matchmaker Reunion, Pt. 2 (Bravo, 9 pm): Patti and her most memorable clients sit down to dish on their relationship status with Andy Cohen.

Couldn’t hurt!

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?

    NCIS is like old person crack. All the older women I know get wet in the depends over Mark Harmon. I do not get it.
    Also, I briefly thought the woman in the leotard was Adam Lambert.

    Sorry, but if you watch NCIS on a regular basis (not just ten minutes) you’ll discover it’s an excellent show. And all the people I know who watch it (male and female) are in the 35-55 crowd.

    I do (and hubby as well) fall in the NCIS age group. It is the only one of these shows I watch. Mark Harmon’ acting has improved. He did a movie in the 80′s that his acting was so bad I could not watch him again for two decades. Love Zeva and when she kicks a$$.

    I never miss NCIS, but would have to be tied down to watch Michael Buble. Seriously, his soulful eyes and schmoozy style make me stabby. And Sperm donor? Really??? Are we supposed to think this modern Johnny Appleseed is a saint or a pervert? Doesn’t matter, won’t watch.

    I am also NOT a Buble fan. Is it that his name sound like Boob Lay…is it that he seems to be his own biggest fan…or is it the Bill Murray Lounge Lizard like approach to performing? Does it matter?

    He makes my skin crawl.

    @cattyfan Buble=Bill Murray lounge lizard….perfect! Suddenly I’m having flashbacks of “Strangers in the Night” ( my father’s favorite ) Buble induced PTSD!

    Boob-lay (thanks, catty) is one of those rare artists that I heard 4 or 5 seconds of his shit and knew that I already hated him, his parents, and his pets. Ani DiFranco is another one. Kayne and his hippitty-hoppity shit can get right the fuck off my lawn, too.

    I’m trying to remember if there were any shows on this week that I actually LIKED. Well, there was Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town. I still like that one. It’s the part of my childhood that hasn’t been poisoned.

    Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town creeps me out because of the perv anthem “If you sit ony lap today, a kiss a toy is the price you’ll pay.”

    It was from a simpler time. (And yeah, I always think that too.) I just sing a few bars of “Put One Foot in Front of the Other”, or “When You’re the First Toymaker to the King,” and the skeevy feeling goes away.

    What eerily mirrors today is Rudolph, when the coach–an adult figure, mind you–says “Okay, bucks! We won’t let Rudolph play in ANY of our reindeer games!” Santa was a little to free with the labels, at first, too. SANTA!
