Hey, I'm a dude. And I guess that means I can be an auctioneer now.

So I guess The Great Big American Auction is a thing with a lot of words that might be a thing on TV tonight for you to enjoy. It's got that guy from the show, you know? And they're going to go around and get things appraised. So that's a thing that could be a thing on tonight.

Or, you know, you could watch perhaps the last episode of Community that might ever air. I mean, it's a possibility, you know. Not a likely one, but the whole "hiatus" thing has to be worrisome to some of you, right? Let's not talk about it.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

FX 10 PM: "The gang trips down memory lane when they attend their high school reunion." Ah, the old high school reunion episode. Always fun while they last. You know, I didn't even get invited to my high school 10th reunion? I'm not sure if I should insulted or relieved.

Community

NBC 8 PM: "When the Greendale glee club is unable to make the holiday pageant, the choir director (Taran Killam) asks the study group to fill in." This is the last Community episode for a while, as far as I can tell, so be sure to tune in to let NBC know what you think of their hijinks! So long as you have a Neilson box, that is. Otherwise it doesn't matter at all.

Parks and Recreation

NBC 8:30 PM: "Leslie forms a citizen action group in hope of getting some work done; everyone in the office tries to plan a Christmas gift for Leslie." I thought Leslie got arrested last week? I don't understand what the hell's going on anymore!

The Office

NBC 9 PM: "Andy tries to make holiday wishes come true; Robert decides to drown his sorrows at the office party." Hey, there's only a few weeks of these holiday-themed episodes left! Enjoy 'em while they last! Or don't, I don't care!

Whitney

NBC 9:30 PM: "Whitney and Alex try to avoid their family gatherings so they can start new holiday traditions with their friends." I talk a lot of shit about this show, but this is the most sane plotline that they've come up with yet.

The League

FX 10:30 PM: "Kevin thinks his Krav Maga instructor may be into him; Jenny tells Andre a secret; Pete's prank backfires." Well, hell, I know all about Krav Maga, man. Just sayin'. I know that it's all about kicking ass, that's what I know.

Bones

FOX 9 PM: "The team suspects murder when a storm chaser is killed while filming a tornado; Booth becomes increasingly protective of Brennan." Storm chasers, huh? Digging deep on the cultural references now, aren't we. Pretty soon they'll be doing child beauty pageants. Unless they already did that.

Beavis and Butt-Head

MTV 10 PM: "Butt-head convinces Beavis to photocopy his bottom at school; the boys are confused for drug dealers." It's a little weird that Butt-Head is the one telling the other guy to show his butt. Because his name is Butt-Head, you know.

Burn Notice

USA 10 PM: "The team helps Jesse's friend take down his smuggling boss; Michael needs Pearce's help." Reminds me of the time that I helped Jesse's friend take down his smuggling boss. Rough time that was.

Grimm

NBC 10 PM: "The investigation into a teacher's death leads to a high school outcast; Nick discovers his presence is affecting the creature world." Has anyone been following this show? I haven't heard a lot of talk about it since it premiered, unlike Once Upon A Time, which I get a lot of good buzz about.

With roughly a dozen freaking auction shows now on TV, I'm pretty sure that pun is the tag line for at least one of them.

My 10-year reunion is coming up next year, can't wait to see all those people again. *eye roll*

I'm looking forward to Always Sunny and Parks and Rec, as well as The Best Show on WFMU podcast + Skyrim.

I wonder if that auctioneer show going to be like Auction Kings or more like Antique Roadshow (but X-treme). I haven't been watching Grimm but Once Upon A Time is a nice show to have on in the background. There may be little to like about the show but there is also very little to hate.

Whitney has to get cancelled right? I mean there is no way that they would keep a crappy show like that over Community...right? Man, fuck NBC.

I wouldn't worry about Whitney surviving. It's pulling in better ratings than Community sure, but it's also in NBC's best time slot. Last year, Outsourced was getting better ratings in that same time slot and it crashed and burned once NBC moved it in spring.

Rorie, you actually took out a smuggling boss one time? Cool.

A lady friend has been bugging me about watching Grimm, she loves it to death.

I remember the 30 Rock episode where the TGS crew got the bombed dropped on them that the show was going into "forced Hiatus", and they all immediately started turning to their B plans. This is not good for Community.

That being said, I'm not a big fan of the show, and while I feel like tuning into the last one before Hiatus, I WILL NEVER tune into a show about a freaking Glee Club. Community or not. So fuck that.

Always Sunny wins the night, then! Although I feel sort of like checking back in with Whitney to see how it is - I figured the first episodes were going to be bad. First seasons in things always are (I can't even watch the first season episodes of Seinfeld, and that show is a legend). Besides, I can totally relate to that premise - I hate my family, and love hanging with friends. I'd much rather spend the holidays with them.

Looks like I shall be watching only Community, It's Always Sunny, and Top 20 Most Shocking (TruTV) tonight.

Still upset at NBC for doing what they are doing to my beloved Community.
