Wednesday, Jan. 25

Monsters Inside Me (OWN, 6 pm) A Virginia woman is attacked by a brain-eating parasite; a Midwestern farmer battles a parasite that cannot be killed; a New Yorker is infected with a deadly parasite.

Common thread? Parasite.

American Idol (Fox, 8 pm) Hopefuls in Aspen perform for the judges.

Wear a short skirt and move your hands around a lot, and they’ll never know you can’t sing.

Nature (PBS, 8 pm) Some 1,700 brown bears take up residence in the Tongass National Forest in southeastern Alaska.

When it comes to brown (aka Kodiak) bears, I have a staunch NIMBY policy: Not in my backyard.

That boy just ain’t right.

In Tahrir Square: 18 Days of Egypt’s Unfinished Revolution (HBO2, 8 pm) Egyptian citizens revolt and bring about the downfall of a dictator.

How many days would it take bring about the downfall of Andy Cohen?

Are You There, Chelsea (NBC, 8:30 pm) Rick is excited when his ex-girlfriend lands a job at the bar.

I have a feeling Rick’s excitement is as endangered as a manatee.

She’s a licensed couple’s therapist, honest!

Full Throttle Saloon (truTV, 9 pm) Rusty’s new marriage is already on the rocks.

Can’t imagine why.

NOVA (PBS, 9 pm) Investigators identify artwork and combat the criminal market in stolen and fraudulent art.

“That cross belongs in a museum!”

Criminal Minds (CBS, 9 pm) A serial rapist resurfaces in Houston and assaults his past victims; Prentiss attempts to overcome last year’s trauma.

C’mon, Prentiss! You know how long a TV year is? Kids on soap operas have grown up, gone to college, and come back to boink every woman in town in one year!

Things are going soooooooo gooooooooood!

American Greed (CNBC, 9 pm) An accountant to stars mismanages clients’ money, pockets millions and marries an exotic dancer.

Sounds an awful lot like somebody else we know.

Ghost Hunters (Syfy, 9 pm) The team goes to Guild, Tennessee to investigate an underwater graveyard.

How are they going to say “What was that?! Did you just hear that??” underwater?

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?

    I saw parts of that “Are you there, Chelsea?” and it was like watching one of those bad skits Chelsea Handler does in her show! The only thing that set it apart was that fact that there was no Chuy! Please, pull the plug!

    I wonder how Steven Tyler will ever judge people singing after his rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” Sunday on the game between the Patriots and the Ravens! I read on Twitter: “Steven Tyler’s national anthem before the Patriots/Ravens game couldn’t have been any worse if John Madden farted it through a harmonica.”
