Tonight’s Top 10 TV Shows: Tuesday, Dec. 13

Tuesday, Dec 13th

Glee (Fox, 8 pm) The glee club members face a difficult decision when they are asked to perform in two different places at the same time.

I bet they solve the dilemma with a mélange of song, dance, and gay teen sex.

Last Man Standing (ABC, 8 pm) Mandy offers to start an Internet campaign to keep Ed’s favorite barber shop open.

Wackiness ensues when visitors are misdirected to a Slovakian porn site.

Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (PBS, 8 pm) The Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s holiday program combines dancing, musical performances and storytelling. With David Archuleta.

Under orders from his dad, David delayed undergoing puberty until after this special was taped.

William and Kate: Inside the Royal Marriage (NBC, 8 pm) Interviews with friends, family and royal insiders help reveal what has been happening in the first six months of the couple’s marriage.

At least they didn’t call this Deep Inside Kate Middleton.

24 Hours in the ER (BBC America, 9 pm) A terminal bladder cancer patient’s condition worsens; a man suffers a cardiac arrest.

Terminal bladder cancer. Cardiac arrest. Sounds like a hoot.

Real Housewives of Atlanta (Bravo, 9pm) Phaedra represents Sheree in court against her ex husband; Kim and Kroy bring baby KJ home; gossip spreads on Kandi’s talk show.

Phaedra misses Sheree’s court date because she has to officiate at a pet funeral, Sweetie gets caught selling KJ’s umbilical cord to a stem cell lab, and Kandi’s loose lips sink NeNe’s battleship.

Raising Hope (Fox, 9:30 pm) While watching a movie with the family, Jimmy enters a dreamlike state and sees what life would have been like if he had never met Hope’s mother.

You, sir, are no Jimmy Stewart.

Storage Wars: Texas (A&E, 10 pm) A unit with a mystical treasure awaits the hunters in Irving.

Oh. My. God. We found Elvis’s +5 Belt Buckle of Pelvis Thrusting!

Unforgettable (CBS, 10 pm) Enigmatic former detective Carrie Wells has a rare condition that won’t let her forget anything, which complicates things when she is brought in to consult on a case for a team led by her ex-boyfriend, Detective Al Burns.

When Carrie isn’t starting a fight about shit that happened in 1992, she and Al solve crimes.

The Colbert Report (Comedy Central, 11:30 pm) Political satirist Stephen Colbert takes on cable-news pundits in this show, which centers around his essential rightness about the issues of the day.

Whew. If it wasn’t for this show, I might have exercised my right to vote.

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?

    Seriously, shouldn’t that Archuleta kid be aging just a little by now? I thought Show business made you older and bitter before your time….Get with the program kid!

    Funny how my wife has the same “rare condition” as the gal in Unforgettable.

    Yeah, whatever she’s got maybe isn’t rare at all in 51% of our species. TV plays fast and loose with these “rare” conditions, anyway. Take amnesia: everybody and their cousin Skippy has had amnesia. Happens all the time. But I’ve never had it. No one I know has had it. Well, my uncle got hit by a car in the 90s and thought he was the CEO of Polaroid for a bit, but that’s not really amnesia. He had memories, just not the right ones.
