Thursday, Jan. 19

American Idol (8 pm) Stability is the keyword for this season as the judges’ panel remains the same for the second straight year, the first time the panel has been the same in consecutive seasons since the addition of the (short-lived) fourth judge following season seven.

“We’re holding stable” seems like a rather odd promotional message.

Parks and Recreation (NBS, 8:30 pm) Andy and April go to the doctor.

Amy’s case of herpes simplex becomes hilariously complex.

Snakeman of Appalachia (Animal Planet, 9pm) Verlin seeks to evacuate rattlesnakes and copperheads from a soon-to-be strip-mined mountain.

“Evacuate” usually applies to something you’d want to save…

The Office (NBC, 9 PM) When Robert decides to sell his mansion, Kevin suggests he throw a pool party for the office; Erin flirts with Dwight to get Andy’s attention.

Steve Carrel’s absence continues to be felt. Acutely.

 

Maybe Tim couldn’t make you a real boy, but I can.

Project Runway Allstars (Lifetime, 9 pm) The designers must create a cocktail dress for Miss Piggy.

Mondo finally has a role model: an outrageously fabulous muppet who has almost become a real person.

Grey’s Anatomy (ABC, 9 pm) Meredith tries to choose a specialty.

Does the AMA recognize “Being a mopey bitchface” as a surgical specialty?

The Mentalist (CBS, 10 pm) Jane and the team try to investigate the death of a mob boss’ son, despite having very little evidence.

If having “very little evidence” is a big hurdle for you, maybe you don’t belong in a procedural…

 

And speaking of heinous…

When Girls Kill (E!, 10 pm) From The School Yard To The Prison Yard, E! Examines True Stories Of Teenage Girls Who Committed Heinous Crimes.

You know it’s gonna be good because it has “heinous” in the tag line.

Jersey Shore (MTV, 10 pm) The roommates try to adjust to life without Vinny; Mike confronts his demons; Pauly celebrates his birthday.

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 will not lie. Last week’s episode of The Office was one of the best in a while. Plenty of laugh out loud moments.
