Thursday, June 14th

On June 14th, 2000, a mail clerk named Andrew Cohen flounced into the Bravo programming director’s office to deliver a package. Interrupting an impromptu strategy session, Cohen opined that “the peforming arts are dead,” and that “people want the organic drama of reality television!” One closed door meeting and an energetic blow job later, Andy Cohen was a junior programming director and we were one step closer to the TV programming situation we find ourselves in today.

Throwdown with Bobby Flay (Cooking Channel, 6:30 0m) Meatballs.

I first read this as Throw Bobby Flay Down (and my imagination added the Stairs), but I think it was a case of seeing what I wanted to see.

It’s Me or the Dog (Animal Planet, 8 pm) Victoria intervenes when a family’s lack of supervision turns an untrained young dog into an unwanted pet.

Another not-Cesar.

Take Me Out (FOX, 8 PM) The women continue their search.

Fox is desperately hoping that it can combine two lesser dating shows to score the same number of eyeballs as the bilious juggernaut that is the Bachelorette.

Oh, shut it. We both know that if I waited for you to take one of us on a helicopter, it would have been Robin, so…

Lab Rats (Disney XD, 8:30 pm) Leo borrows a high speed helicopter to take Janelle on a date.

Does Kody know?

Saving Hope (CBS, 9pm) Alex Reid treats a boy with mysterious symptoms while dealing with the arrival of Charlie’s ex-wife; Joel and Maggie try to help a patient who is refusing treatment because of religious beliefs.

Then Thirteen shows up, alludes to her bisexuality, and leaves.

Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding (BRAVO, 9 pm) Paparazzi arrive in helicopters; Kim’s mom makes demands; Kim and Kroy begin their married life.

Kim melts down because her personal assistant bought the wrong surface-to-air missiles, and the helicopters drown out the madlib vows she and Troy wrote for each other.

Strange Sex (DISCOVERY FIT & HEALTH, 9:30 pm) A woman learns that defining one’s gender is not so clear-cut.

Male, female, hermaphrodite. It’s not like you’re at Baskin Robbins and are facing choice paralysis.

7 Days of Sex (Lifetime, 10 pm) A former firefighter and his wife attempt to reclaim their sex life; a woman struggles to boost her diminished libido.

Cue the bad “put the heat back in our marriage” joke in 3, 2, 1…

The Pauly D Project (MTV, 10 pm) Biggie proposes in Puerto Rico; Pauly contemplates his future offers while in Rhode Island.

Biggie didn’t plan on buying having to buy an airline seat for each ass cheek, so he is forced to propose with a Ring Pop instead.

Dahling, the casting director said ‘I had a nice set of lungs,’ and I said yes, I was a classically trained singer…

The Bikini Escort Company (SHOWTIME SHOWCASE, 1 am) Beautiful girls form an escort service.

Real Housewives have to get their start somewhere…

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?

    Throw Bobby Flay Down the Stairs would be the only watchable Flay show ever.

    Thursday nights used to not suck. What happened?

    Thursday nights used to not suck because Buck Rogers (staring Gil Gerard and my fantasy girlfriend Erin Gray), and then, in the same time slot a few seasons later, Magnum P.I., was on.

    Since then, Thursday night is my night to go hang with some other power geeks and play toy soldiers (and that’s not a euphemism for anything nasty…)

    Ah well, without those reality shows we’d have to do what we get paid to do.

    I wonder how much it set Kroy back to hire those helicopters and people to pretend to be paparazzi.
