TV Tonight: Louie, Burn Notice, Russian Dolls, SYTYCD


This just in: HBO’s True Blood has been renewed for Season 5 in 2012. This just in-er: Jersey Shore’s “DJ” Pauly D is getting a three-record deal and his own line of headphones. What’s the correlation? Both items make me want to stab people with wooden stakes.

What’s new tonight:
Louie (FX) Two New Back-to-Back Episodes: Guess FX needs to blow out some episodes before It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia returns; next week, it’s back-to-back new Wilfreds. Tonight, Louis CK makes peace with God (unlikely) and Doug Stanhope (highly unlikely), and you can come to Brewvies (677 South 200 West, 21+) to watch the FX Wilfred/Louie/Louie trifecta on the big screen with me and a beer—free!

Burn Notice (USA) Mr. Gwen Stefani Alert: Grunge icon Gavin Rossdale guest-stars as Fiona’s (Gabrielle Anwar) old boyfriend looking for a favor, which doesn’t sit well at all with Michael (Jeffrey Donovan). Then again, what does sit well with Michael?

Russian Dolls (Lifetime) Series Debut: A reality show about Moscow strippers? Wishful thinking: Russian Dolls is about Russian-American families living in Brooklyn. That’s it. What a waste of a title—way to let that one slip by, Cinemax.

So You Think You Can Dance (Fox) Season Finale: Hey, it’s finally over. If SYTYCD just got rid of that screeching idiot Mary Murphy and that pandering assclown Nigel … nah, I still wouldn’t watch it. Fuck this show. Oh, wait, Cat Deeley is kinda cool … no, forget it. Fuck this show.

Also new tonight:
Wipeout, Expedition Impossible (ABC); Big Brother (CBS); Project Runway (Lifetime); Futurama, Ugly Americans (Comedy Central); Wilfred (FX); Suits (USA); L.A. Ink (TLC); The Green Room With Paul Provenza (Showtime); Childrens Hospital, NTSF:SD:SUV (Adult Swim)

Preview: Is Gavin Rossdale’s acting on Burn Notice as good as his music? Unfortunately, yes …
