Trash It’s On TV Tonight!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on June 12 at 13:50 PM

Think summertime is BORINGtime for TV? Au contraire, mein kampf! The fun’s just begun. Take tonight for example…

8:00 FOX HELL’S KITCHEN
It’s the glorious return of one of my fave series from last year, Hell’s Kitchen, wherein angry Brit chef Gordon Ramsay lords over a bunch of amateur cooks and shoves plates of food into their chests. Humiliation has never tasted so delicious!

10:00 ABC HOW TO GET THE GUY
Four women desperately try to find a man in this new reality series. More humiliation ensues — this time, not so delicious.

10:00 A&E ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS CHAMPIONSHIP
Fuck the Super Bowl, the Oscars, and everything inbetween! Comedian Dave Attel hosts this nationwide contest to see who reigns supreme in the classic game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Even better? The winner gets $50,000! (For those bored at work, hit this site for some online Rock Paper Scissors action.)

It's too bad that such a fine comedian as Dave Atell would stoop to hosting a game that sounds really dull and moronic.

That was my reatcion, too, Neo, but maybe he'll make it really f-ing funny.

If this is entertainment, I think I'd rather just get drunk tonight.

BBC America is currently running the new season of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares on Wednesday nights. If you have any doubts about how good it may be, consider the fact that the series set the British TV record for number of obscenities per hour. Plus the hook is great: Ramsay tries to save a different failing restaurant each week, only to be kneecapped by the restaurant's own staff. (Usually.)

Yet, despite that Ramsay takes his shirt off in every episode, he's still not as hot as Anthony Bourdain.

Farscape and Firefly get canceled, but shows like these will run for eternity.

...SIGH...
