The More You Know: Federal Holiday edition

It's noon and I still haven't put pants on.

  • In I-don't-doubt-it-for-a-minute news, Studio 60 seems to be getting a bump in ratings because it is one of the most TiFauxed shows around.
  • TV Guide's Matt Roush sums up the year in TV.
  • Lost spoilers are here.  I don't know what they say, because I haven't read them.  So they could totally be lame.  Don't say I didn't warn you. 
  • The Washington Post assesses new series' fates

Staring into the abyss

The strangest thing happened the other day. I went to check the "scheduled recordings" on the TiFaux, and there weren't any. At first I suspected foul play or a broken machine, but the truth is more disturbing: There's nothing on.

Out of the nearly twenty shows I watch on a regular basis, not a single one was airing a new episode. 

It was with that bleak outlook that I chose to record Kevin Federline's WWE "wrestling" match.

That's him in the hat. The white hat.

I have yet to watch this once-in-a-lifetime television event, and frankly, I'm not sure my sensitive consitution can handle it. I'm hoping that the combination of several horrible things — Kevin Federline, WWE wrestling — will result in something so awful it's actually wonderful, but odds are the whole thing will just be a complete mind-numbing disaster. We shall see.

But The Office and Ugly Betty and 30 Rock are back on Thursday, and Courtney Cox's new FX show, Dirt, premieres tonight. Presumably this means things will return to normal, and I won't be forced to take drastic measures like this ever again.
