So I guess this is happening.
So I guess this is happening.

Rorie's out sick today, so you're stuck with me writing all the fun stuff for the rest of today's incredibly slow news day. This means more dick jokes than you're perhaps accustomed to on a Wednesday, as well as me taking over today's What to Watch. Considering I normally take Tuesdays and weekends, looking at Wednesday night programming is like opening up one of those giant treasure chests in The Legend of Zelda only to get...a rupee worth 10 rupees. To be fair, Tuesday night programming is like opening up the aforementioned chest, only to have Dodongo pop out and kick you in the junk (dick joke number one!), so hey, it's an improvement either way.

Let's get on with it.

The People's Choice Awards

9PM - CBS - I guess Kaley Cuoco is popular enough now that her hosting awards shows is a thing that is acceptable? Great. I guess. Anyway, if you want to watch her give a bunch of statues to the cast of Twilight and also Drake, then by all means, watch this.

Modern Family

9PM - ABC - Mitch and Cam attempt to impress potential birth mothers, which I expect will result in hilarious antics, of sorts. Look, the plots to this show barely matter. It's consistently funny. That's all we can ask from an ABC sitcom these days.

Happy Endings

9:30PM - ABC - Both Michael McKean and Megan Mullally guest star on this show that I swear to god I will watch some day, since people keep telling me it's good. It's hard to believe, but my defenses are beginning to wear down.

Are You There, Chelsea?

8:30PM - NBC - Finally, that prime time dose of Chelsea Handler we've all been desperately clamoring for. She plays her older sister, while Laura Prepon plays a younger Chelsea. All I know from watching these ads is that I really miss redheaded Laura Prepon.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

10PM - NBC - Ice-T's wife Coco guest stars as a performance artist who finds herself actually raped during a production in which a bunch of dudes with masks pretend to rape her. That must have been a really delightful episode for Ice to shoot.

Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy

9PM - History Channel - Oh good, apparently this show did well enough to warrant a second season. In tonight's premiere, I have no idea what happens because I didn't even bother to look at the description. Just...no.

Face Off

10PM - SyFy - Season premiere! In which more make-up artists make more make-up, and win stuff. Did I miss anything with this one? No. Okay then.

I would go for the Syfy premiere to be honest....

Not to be COMPLETELY superficial, but Chelsea Handler looks about 70 years old in recent commercial spots.

Nobody named "Kaley" should ever be popular.

So my choices are Deep Space Nine on Netflix or more Driver: San Francisco. Hmm...

Well let me fill you in Alex: In what can only be a red state crowd pleaser, Larry is going hunting with the Palin family.

Is it an unpopular opinion that I fucking HATE Chelsea Handler?

I liked Face Off. Seemed like a less bullshitty reality show. Given, I know nothing about make-up artistry but the people seemed to have actual talent, and it is fun to watch them work. I'll be watching that and Top Chef; thank you!

Would try the Chelsea parts for an episode and see how it goes, but not the People's Choice Awards. That's one of the awards shows that can go suck my dick.

I really need to watch Happy Endings. What little I've seen of it seems really good.

Nothing. Once again on a Wednesday. Wednesday used to be a LOST night, but now Wednesday is dull and boring.

You know, I was flipping around Nickelodeon the other night and I caught 5 minutes of That 70's Show and it got me wondering what happened to Laura Prepon. Now I know. Hmm, but it makes me wonder whatever happened to that girl who I used to confuse with Prepon. She was on Cybil.

Reruns of Man vs Food is on at 8 PM and 10 PM Eastern with Adam Richman (aka Man from M v F) has a new show on at 9 on the Travel Channel; Amazing Eats. I am really into these "lets look at unique eateries" shows like this and Diners Drive-In and Dives these days. That's what I'll be watching.

Wednesday's are pretty good on ABC. They have three sitcoms worth watching, which is really impressive given the current climate of broadcast TV.

Also, Rorie misses one what to watch and I already miss him. I...it's creepy and I feel bad.

I liked Face Off. Not really sure why, but hey...

Definitely choosing not to watch the People's Choice Awards, but I might watch Modern Family tomorrow night. Maybe I'll check out Happy Endings, but I seem to think this to myself occasionally and it hasn't happened yet, so probably not.

Yes, you all should watch Happy Endings! It's pretty great. Better than Modern Family, which has become too predictable.
