Rob (CBS, 8:30 pm) Rob (Rob Schneider) meets his new wife’s large Mexican-American family for the first time and notices he doesn’t quite fit in.

This Rob Schneider vehicle will last exactly as long as it takes NBC to realize that reruns of Two and a Half Men get better ratings.

Project Runway All Stars (Lifetime, 9 pm) The designers are given 24 hours to create ball gowns for a night at the opera.

Twelve escapes from the Island of Misfit Toys participate in a cut-throat design competition.

 

Dr. Grey or Dr. Riviera? Your choice.

 Grey’s Anatomy (ABC, 9 pm) The doctors form two teams to operate on conjoined twins.

Conjoined twins? Big deal. These young, hot, ridiculously promiscuous surgeons have to deal with real angst.

Friday Night Lights (ESPN Classic) Coach Taylor struggles to pull the East Dillon Lions together.

I wonder if Coach Taylor ever just gets tired.

The Finder (MTV, 9 pm) Brain damage caused by an IED explosion enhances Walter Sherman’s ability to locate missing people.

That premise seems… unlikely.

Private Practice (ABC, 10 pm) Violet thinks about dating a paramedic.

And decides not to, then changes her mind, goes to Addison for advice, doesn’t take it, agonizes during a lonely musical montage, calls the paramedic and hangs up 15 times, finally agrees to date him, and falls hopelessly in love with him right before he admits to his non-operable testicular tumor.

Beyond Scared Straight (A&E, 10 pm) Female troublemakers known as the Three Musketeers learn some hard lessons behind bars.

You go into the joint with a Big Brother alliance-style nickname, you’re pretty much guaranteeing yourself a beat down.

Real Housewives of Atlanta (Bravo, 10 pm) The Social Edition.

NeNe’s new career stalls when she learns that socialites are expected to be attractive and have pleasant personalities.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Comedy Central, 11 pm) Dolly Parton is Jon’s guest.

Fight it, Jon. You can do better than boob jokes, and we both know it.

Mommy, I’m skeert.

Jersey Shore (MTV, 10 pm) Vinny considers leaving the Shore; Snookie fights with Jionni.

The episode is tagged as “new”, but it sure sounds like a repeat.

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?
