Monday Night TV Show Recap

By Lindsay Burrill / Boston

Hey party people,

To get you ready for your “stories” tonight here’s what you missed last Monday (if you were too busy watching Charlie Sheen unleash his Tigerblood secrets all over the world).

What Will Make You Laugh

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER-CBS, Mondays at 8 pm.

Sometimes I flip back and forth between this and House. However, this week How I Met Your Mother won the race. Now I realize the bachelor is also on at 8 pm, but there is a much funnier bachelor on TV and his name is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris). This week’s episode was very worth watching as Barney explains his rules on dating..however all of those rules are immediately overlooked if the girl is hott (funny how that works). It’s a lighthearted comedy with some heavy perverse jokes.

COMEDY BLOCK: These aren’t new episodes, but if you’re ever looking for a string of hilarious shows, check of comedy central from 5 to 6:30 pm on most weekdays. There are always repeat classic episodes of South Park and Scrubs. Also, MTV usually does a block of That 70s show from 5:30 to 7 pm.

 

Teeny Bop Drama… that we secretly love

GOSSIP GIRL-CW, Mondays, 9 pm.

In the fourth season episode 17, Dan and Blair have the same internship, which creates a lot of drama and an embarrassing moment that makes them hate each other even more…or does it? SPOILER ALERT: At the end of the episode, the two have a kissing scene which rocks the whole existence of this show.

Also, Georgina is coming back! You know that b***h will bring a ton of drama, which makes it a little more worth watching. Also in the episode, Ben and Serena have some troubles, and Baldwin brother Billy, is back on as Serena and Eric’s father.  (Now that I love 30 Rock so much, I officially want to watch anything with a Baldwin in it (okay maybe not anything..I mean really it’s just Alec I’m impressed with).

 

Reality TV Fix

These rerun all day, everyday so here are the warnings… just in case sh** goes down

JERSEY SHORE-MTV, Thursdays

Ugh even writing the name of this show makes me want to puke. It’s not fair that the newest way to become a celebrity is to be a huge whore, or really stupid on a reality show. Now Snooky gets to write a book? Come on. Oh, and for all of you who say, “I don’t like the show at all. I just watch it because it’s so stupid, and I find it entertaining.” Newsflash, that you means you like the show, so quit trying to rationalize the hour you waste watching a show that literally makes you dumber.

DANCING WITH THE STARS… Another one I don’t watch..but I believe in the dispersion of information so here are the celebs on the show that were revealed this week.

Chris Jericho (hope he doesn’t close-line his partner).

Chelsea Kane (Another Disney star..someone warn her future alcoholic self that it’s all downhill after Disney).

Hines Ward (Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver…he’ll probably last long huh. I’ve heard all those guys are super graceful).

Kirstie Allie (Enough said).

Mike Catherwood (Who cares).

Sugar Ray Leonard

Ralph Macchio

Perta Nemcova (Maybe she’ll end up being good at something other that being hoot).

Romeo

Kendra Wilkinson (Expect some “accidental” nudity).

Wendy Williams (#1 on my celeb hitless).

 

News Fix

If you have to get a news fix, then watch the March 1st episode of 20/20. Charlie Sheen was on the show trying to dig that grave just a tiny bit deeper. Sheen denied that he was anti-Semitic, and when asked about his drug use he said, “I am on a drug…it’s called Charlie Sheen.” It’s definitely not the snoozefest like usual on 20/20.

 

Late Night

LATE NIGHT WITH JAY LENO – This one’s for you boys. If you want some eye candy while seeing a conservative with a big chin give entertainment news, then watch the episode with Christie Brinkley that aired this week. Also he had Jerry Seinfeld on this week.

CONAN O’BRIEN – Had on the beautiful Emily Blunt

LETTERMAN – Had on one of the best, cracked out comics you gotta love, Robin Williams

 

Countdown: I cannot wait for these shows to return

 

WEEDS-Showtime, Mondays.

The show returns  June 27. You know, for a while, I thought being Nancy Botwin would be pretty epic. After the end of last season though, it was clear she is sort of a disease, that is really hard to survive without losing your sanity just a bit. The season ended with Nancy about to be murdered by her “husband”, but is then caught by the FBI. I cannot wait to see how it all ends for America’s favorite, and hottest Drug Dealer.
