This Weekend on the TiFaux: Planet Earth Rules

Posted by Maggie March 30th, 2007 at 02:21pm In All Things TV SNL

There’s more of DiscoveryHD and regular Discovery’s Planet Earth on Sunday, which is as spectacular as Sigourney Weaver’s self-satisfied narration claims it is.

Another Saturday, another new Robin Hood — officially the silliest, fluffiest, scowliest, cheesiest program about a bunch of dudes who live in a forest stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, ever.

Saturday Night Live’s a repeat of the Rainn Wilson episode, which was not that great, except for The Office parody in the monologue which was dead-on. If it were possible to set your TiFaux to record the first ten minutes of something, that would be the thing to tape.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming: DiscoveryHealth has a show called Baby Madness, which I suspect is actually some sort of fertility propaganda piece, designed to make women leap on the next man and demand offspring to satiate their sudden need for a cute widdle snuggly-umpkins. If nine months from now somebody announces they’re building a baby army, you’ll know I was right.

    Oh, no, that Rainn Wilson one was good! Not just for some kickass Arcade Fire performing, but for:

    1.) That sketch in the bar with the jukebox. “Even though we ain’t got money, I’m so in love with ya honey!”

    2.) The digital short. GIANT TURKEY SUB!
