TV

Hey.

Sharks are, when it comes down to it, horrific creatures. Necessary, perhaps, but you get what you pay for. I'd just ask that you remember that when you choose to watch Shark Week.

That's all I came here to say. Here's tonight's television!

	Rookie Blue ABC 10 PM: Something something horrible crime, something something rookie confidence shaken. ROOKIE BLUE.
	Futurama Comedy 10 PM: "Mobius Dick": Leela hunts a four-dimensional space whale, and it becomes an obsession! We'll see if this manages to out-Moby Dick quote Star Trek.
	Burn Notice USA 9 PM: Michael and Sam try to rescue a boy who's been kidnapped by his father and taken to a heavily-fortified compound. Reminds me of the time I rescued a boy who had been kidnapped by his father and taken to a heavily-fortified compound.
	Wilfred FX 10 PM: The episode description reads "Ryan must swallow his pride when Wilfred pursues a new love interest." Isn't...isn't Wilfred the dog in this show? What the hell have I been missing here?
	Louie FX 10:30 PM: Dane Cook and Bob Saget play themselves as Louie seeks to get tickets to a concert for his daughter. Here's hoping it's not a Dane Cook concert.
	Expedition Impossible ABC 9 PM: Teams race through a Moroccan market! I can't wait to see the hilarious mishap where one of the contestants shoots a guy selling swords because he thinks he's Indiana Jones.
	Big Brother CBS 9 PM: Another houseguest is evicted from the house! A shocking development, or at least it would be if it didn't happen every damn Thursday.

oddly enough, the biggest surprise i got from this article is that BIG BROTHER IS STILL ON THE AIR??? WHAT THE HELL?!?!

Tonight seems like a good night for TV. Wilfred has been getting better and better every week - it's something I find myself looking forward to. And Louie has been consistently funny.

Oh, and fucking sharks. YES.

shark week. always.

I'll be watching Jersey Shore in Italy. I'm hoping that at least once every episode this season an Italian punches Snooki in the face.

Shark Week!

Just a shout out for Ugly Americans being on tonight as well.

@TwoOneFive: Orcas are actually part of the dolphin family (despite being nicknamed the killer whale), which brings me to my next point, a dolphin week would be AWESOME

These articles always make me glad I cancelled my cable subscription.

a dolphin is a whale though right? so wouldn't WHALE week suffice?

Heh I have read way more about this exact topic then any one man should.

If you want the simple answer, yeah they are very similar and it would be understandable to feature dolphins in a whale week (especially with so many dolphins nicknames including whale, sperm whale and killer whale being two)

If you want the complicated answer, a dolphin is not a whale. They are both in the order Cetacea. A dolphin is in the suborder Odontocelli (which was wrongly nicknamed a while ago "toothed whale"). Whales belong to the suborder Mysticeti. The big difference between the two suborders being the teeth. Dolphins have teeth and whales have baleen. Baleen acts similar to a pool skimmer, letting water through but not letting things like fish through.

Ultimately though, shark week is getting old, whether they did a whale week or a dolphin week it would be great. (i still think a week only about dolphins would be awesome)

I'll be watching Jersey Shore in Italy. I'm hoping that at least once every episode this season an Italian punches Snooki in the face.
