What To Watch: Sexual Predators Stalk The Airwaves

Watch out for those sexual predators. They'll home invade you, then steal your home.

Man, Wednesdays are getting extra creepy lately! I blame SVU, myself, which seems to be sending the forces of sexual assault into the shows around it on the dial. At least, I assume that's what it's doing; you're not going to catch me actually watching it, or CSI or Criminal Minds or anything. I would assume that I'm 100% right about everything I say about these shows, though.

If you're willing to delve deep into the cable channels, then National Geographic premieres a new show called American Weed tonight at 10, which you can probably guess what it's about.

Modern Family

ABC 9 PM: "Mitchell ruins one of Jay's proudest moments; Phil overhears something about one of his daughters; Gloria accidentally discovers Claire's secret." Way to be vague there, Mr. Episode Describer Person. Preceded by The Middle at 8, Suburgatory at 8:30, and followed by Happy Endings at 9:30.

Whitney

NBC 8 PM: "Whitney gets more than she bargained for when she uses a bust-enhancing bra to tempt Alex; Roxanne asks Mark for help after she breaks up with Lance; Lily and Neal discuss a prenuptial agreement." This is really the worst show, isn't it? Just copy-pasting these episode descriptions sometimes hurts me in a physical way. Followed by Are You There, Chelsea? at 8:30.

Top Chef

BRAVO 10 PM: "The final 3 must create a cohesive dish with the concept of fire and ice." Finally, a fantasy novel I can eat.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

NBC 10 PM: "Benson and Executive ADA Haden must cut their romantic weekend short to investigate the disappearance of an underage prostitute, who seems to be one in a series of escorts who went missing after advertising on a newspaper's website." I'm guessing...rapists?

Criminal Minds

CBS 9 PM: "The team uncovers a sinister motive for a string of brutal home invasions." I'm guessing...rapists?

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

CBS 10 PM: "The CSIs try to determine how an entire house was stolen off its foundation." I'm guessing...rapists?

Royal Pains

USA 10 PM: SEASON FINALE: USA's flagship rich doctor show sees its third season come to a close as Hank wanders around fixing people's problems.

One Tree Hill, Lucas Scott returns!!! Please put this show on this list!

Also put Parenthood on for next Tuesday since it's the Season Finale.

" I'm guessing...rapists?"

lol. That should be Screened.com's official funny thing to say when you got nothing else. A new weird trailer for a foreign movie pops up? There's your caption! ;)

Eh...looks kinda dreadful tonight. I'll stick to DVR.

I finally got around to watching the premiere of Key and Peele last night, and the show has some definite potential. The guys have great chemistry together, and I loved the Obama anger interpreter.

Do people actually watch Law & Order: SVU these days? I used to be a fan but the show has really overextended its welcome.

American Weed seems particularly interesting but other than that, nothing worth watching. Vidya gaems it is!

    A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

    Review
    Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.

    When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.
