Monday Night Football has had problems in the past with late-season games that have featured terrible teams, but it's not often that the week six game is completely irrelevant. That feels like it might be the case tonight, though, as the 2-3 Jets take on the winless Dolphins.
So, I guess you get to do something else with your night, then? Perhaps you want to sample one of the other fine features on television tonight? Whatever you do, I can't in good conscience recommend that you watch House tonight. Charlyne Yi is possibly worse than I thought she would be.
 | House M.D. FOX 9 PM: "When a man (Wentworth Miller) collapses after making a generous donation, House and Dr. Chi Park try to identify his medical disorder; Thirteen's pursuit of happiness is hampered by feelings of guilt." Guess Wentworth Miller's Resident Evil money ran out already. I don't know if I can get through an entire episode of Charlyne Yi anyway. She was horrid on last week's episode. |
 | Terra Nova Fox 8 PM: "Jim and Shannon aren't sure if they can trust an orphan who seeks asylum at the colony; Mira tries to reclaim a valued possession; Taylor thinks a traitor is in his midst." I still haven't seen the premiere and this show's already four episodes in! Too bad that ratings look like they're off a fair amount since then. FOX already ordered 13 or so; if ratings are bad, we'll see if they cut it off in the middle of those episodes like they did with Firefly. |
 | NFL Monday Night Football ESPN 5/8: Dolphins at the Jets. Miami's winless and the Jets are 2-3, so this is probably going to be exclusively for AFC East fans. |
 | Castle ABC 10 PM: "A sexy insurance investigator (Kristin Lehman) with a secret helps Castle and Beckett when a valuable sculpture is stolen and someone is murdered; a rich museum benefactor (Jessica Tuck) garners suspicion." Someone's sexy AND has a secret? Gosh, it doesn't sound like any other show I've ever seen ever! |
 | Hawaii Five-0 CBS 10 PM: "The team's investigation into a volleyball coach's murder reveals more bad news about Kono; Chin Ho reconnects with his ex-fiance." Between last week's deep sea diver and this week's volleyball coach, it looks like the writers of H-50 are doing their best not to pick any sports with popular appeal to draw from. Next week's episode sees the death of a professional jai alaist. |
 | Two and a Half Men CBS 9 PM: "Alan tries to come to terms with Lyndsey's past; Walden throws a party at the house." |
 | How I Met Your Mother CBS 8 PM: "Ted's friends get involved when he doesn't do a background check on his new lady friend; Lily and Marshall deal with learning their baby's gender." I don't bother waiting to make a girlfriend before doing a background check; I make sure I find out everything there is to know about them before I even initiate the first conversation. I gather the information...personally. |
 | Dancing with the Stars ABC 8 PM: "The eight remaining couples dance to classic songs from the 1980s; The Bangles perform." The Bangles, holy mackeral! I haven't thought of them in ages. For a reason. |
 | The Sing-Off NBC 8 PM: "The remaining groups perform guilty pleasure songs for the judges; two groups are eliminated." MORE THAN WOOOOOOOORDS, ARE ALL I EVER NEEDED YOU TO SAYYYYYYYY |
I have never watched an episode of House but my Monday television routine consists entirely of whatever reruns Comedy Central has and hoping a good movie is on HBO.
Hearing that the ratings are down on Terra Nova just makes me want to keep watching it and hope that it gets canceled so I can add it to my list of "series I've seen all of." That's what I was hoping was going to happen with Falling Skies.
This game is very important in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. The Rams and Colts were able to avoid winning, can the Dolphins hang in there?
Also for the first time ever we will see Monday night raw from Mexico More madness to ensue? who knows im still all crazy and excited everything about where the walking dead will go from here goo cliff hanger to leave off for next week and alot of zombies were killed last night a good amount to satisfy my taste for zombie killing this week and also house is looking pretty good for tonight not too interested in terra nova still and still refusing to watch dancing with the stars
@endaround: I'm not picking on you - since it's a popular phrase - but why the hell do they call it the "Andrew Luck Sweepstakes?" It's not like a random team is going to get the first pick; it's whoever loses the most. Stupid pundits! I'd like to see Peyton Manning come back in week 14 and win the last three games, making Colts fans upset that they didn't get the first pick.
I actually don't like it when the Steelers play night games. I'd rather everyone play at 1 or 4.
@skrutop: Basically because if one of these teams do win it will be pure luck! Its not like they aren't trying, most NFL coaches and players don't have the job security to not try, they just are not good.
Lets go Chad Henne.. Woo! Go Blue!
I only give half a shit about tonight's game because I need a few points from the Jets D to get a win in fantasy football.
I feel like a bad person for saying this but...I am starting to enjoy Terra Nova.
I'll be watching House because I think I've gotten to the point where I'll just watch till the end. Other than that, I'll watch How I Met Your Mother and last night's Homeland.
Rorie, you're not missing much by not watching Terra Nova. Terra Nova is like watching an episode of Lost where Kate is the central storyline. I'd keep watching if Terry O'Quinn came out of the jungle carrying a dead dino carcass behind him. Name the episode "Walkabout".
What to watch? What else is on? How about a new episode of Bored to Death! Anyone?
How I Met Your Mother and Hawaii Five-O for me tonight. I'm just gonna ignore MNF tonight.
The Avalanche play the Maple Leafs tonight at 7. That's my plan. That, and beer.
@TekZero: sounds like a great plan.

First episode of Terra Nova, "I am going to love this show". Second episode, "Are you kidding me, BIRDS?". Third episode "Well I guess they fired all the original writers and hired a bunch of idiots from Smallville". :(
Man, it's not often that jai alai gets a shoutout. Aside from being in every crossword puzzle known to man.
2 Broke Girls is also on. Regardless of what anyone says, I fucking love that show.
Ugh. Charlyne Yi was so fucking bad last week. I hope she improves as we go on.
It's still too early to start predicting where it's going.
