Whatever is happening here, give it all of the money. And cat treats. ALL OF IT/THEM.

Tonight is a night of reality television. And medical dramas. And steroids. Let's find out how they all combine into a good excuse to watch those Star Trek: TNG episodes on Netflix you've been putting off for a while now.

America's Got Talent

9PM - NBC - 12 of the 48 remaining contestants compete and...wait...48 remaining contestants? Jesus Christ, how many more friggin' episodes of this thing are there? They've already got the cat wizard! What more do you need to see?!?

White Collar

9PM - USA - A teenage grifter runs rampant over New York City, and our handsome hero must stop him. No word on whether or not he's some manner of "hipster grifter," but we can hope and pray.

Memphis Beat

9PM - TNT - Remember when Jason Lee used to be kind of awesome? When did that all go wrong? I think it might've been somewhere around Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Hawthorne

10PM - TNT - I can't watch this show. Every time I see Jada Pinkett-Smith, I can never tell if she's trying really hard to be super duper serious, or if she's just stoned out of her mind. Possibly both. Either way, the end result is me just kind of laughing at her.

Combat Hospital

10PM - ABC - Whenever I read plots for this show, I can only imagine how much better they'd be if they were followed by "...and Hawkeye's antics get him into trouble with the Colonel."

6. Tosh.0

10PM - Comedy Central - "Steroids Guy" comes on for an interview tonight. I don't actually know who that is, but I'm assuming it's this dude.

So basically nothing. But who needs TV on a night like this? Bombcast baby!

I hate how they stretch America's Got Talent as much as they can, but all the non-singing acts are fairly entertaining. There's always the MLB All-Star game.

Holy crap, it's like he has two giant tumors where his biceps are supposed to be.

Well at least I have the new episode of Weeds to watch on demand tonight and I just got Black Swan in the mail so everything is going to be all right.

I got an episode of Dexter to watch. That's it and that's all.

Damn you TV Summer season!

Not a ton on, but Memphis Beat is pretty darn good if you like police procedural (which I do). Jason Lee makes up for Alvin and the Chipmunks, and DJ Qualls is actually good in it.

Memphis Beat is completely competent but it's still just another goddamn cop show. Still, I mean good on TNT for at least trying with their original programming these days. Leverage, Southland, and Men of a Certain Age are all surprisingly good shows.

Tosh.0 and some gaming it is!

Don't know if it's actually the guy who's going to be on Tosh.0 tonight but I saw a terrifying documentary on the guy in picture above called "The Man Whose Arms Exploded". He basically took so many steroids his arms couldn't handle it anymore. Ew.

I recently went on youtube to see some good robot dances -- don't ask -- and was kinda disgusted that "America's Got Talent" hasn't yielded any youtube-worthy robot dances. You can find robot dances from the UK version, like the Finnish version (or Denmark's Got Talent or something), etc. but none from America's Got Talent. Since I don't watch that crap, I don't even know if anyone's even attempted to impress the judges with a world class robot dance. But I'm pretty disappointed in my country  right now that we're apparently not no.1 in the world in robot dances.

Memphis Beat. With a cop who is Elvis at night.

It's either awesome or "fuck-me-why-Jason-Lee-did-Ron-Hubbard-told-you-to-take-that-script?".
