It’s a great night for television! Too bad President Bush’s undoubtedly boring and awkward State of the Union Address will mess up everything!
American Idol, 8pm, FOX. The auditions continue, as Simon recovers from last week’s hissy fit.

Fear Factor, 8pm, NBC. Tonight, mothers and sons pair up to challenge themselves with death-defying stunts and bug eating!
State of the Union Address, 9pm, every darn channel! Stupid speech. Don’t they know how important Tuesday night TV is?!
Supernatural, 9pm, FOX. Hottie brothers continue their fight against ghoulies and beasties.
The Shield, 10pm, FX. This critical darling and fan favorite ups the grit and the gore tonight. Good times!
Tuesday’s post-8pm choices are much weaker than usual, with most networks opting for repeats. And we all know why. Stupid speech.

Breaking Reality News: Richard Hatch Found Guilty Of Tax Evasion
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Talent, News,
The reality show star that everyone loves to hate—that would be Richard Hatch, not Simon Cowell—has now been voted out
by another jury of his peers. A Rhode Island jury has just found him guilty of failing to pay taxes on the prize money he won in Season 1 of Survivor. While being acquitted of several fraud charges, he was also found guilty of evading taxes on other business ventures. The 44-year-old is now facing up to 13 years in prison and a $600,000 fine.

The 5 Relationships We Most Want To See On TV
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, Prime Time, CBS, FOX, WB, Editorial,
Be they romantic, friendly, or of another ilk, there are some TV show relationships that are long overdue. Here are our top 5 picks.
- Warrick and Catherine, CSI. Enough already! They’ve flirted for years, exchanging compliments, coy looks, and secret smiles. The fans are ready for some action. Dump the other lady, Warrick, and cozy up to Cath!
- Izzie and George, Grey’s Anatomy. Fans have lost patience with the increasingly dull storyline of lost love between Meredith and McDreamy. It’s time to turn our attention to the far more interesting—and fan favorites—Izzie and George. With their strong convictions and sweet vulnerability, Izzie and George are a match made in heaven. True, many fans would rather see Izzie end up with Alex, but come on…wouldn’t you love to see George happy?
- House, M.D.’s Dr. Gregory House and…frankly, anyone! Though he does have a terrific friendship with Wilson, House desperately needs some lovin’. Whether it be with Stacey, Cameron, or some crazy patient, we’d love to see House win—and offer—some long-overdue affection.
- The familial reconciliation of Lorelai and Richard Gilmore of Gilmore Girls. Though the show focuses almost exclusively on Lorelai’s relationship with her mother in the area of family plotlines, the bond between father and daughter seems much more intriguing to us. The two are so alike, and though it’s not often addressed, it’s obvious that Richard’s approval means a great deal to Lorelai. Whose heart doesn’t break a little each time Lorelai acknowledges that Rory is a ‘replacement’ daughter for Richard? Here’s hoping the seventh season will patch up things between these two hot-headed Gilmores.
- Rory and Jess of Gilmore Girls. We never though we’d be a Jess supporter. For years, we prayed for the return of Dean, The Perfect Man Machine. But Jess’s brief appearance earlier in the season left us wanting more, and showcased his increasing maturity. We loved that he called Rory on the bad choices she was making, and who could miss the sparks between them? Rory: Dump the dull Logan, and give Jess a call!
Leave your picks in the comments section.

Jenna Elfman Returns To Series Television In Courting Alex
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Talent, News,
Fans are sure to rejoice at 9:30 PM tonight when Jenna Elfman returns to series comedy. The show, Courting Alex, is part of CBS’s push to expand its comedy repertoire. Courting Alex follows Elfman is a role that is quite a departure from her ditzy spin on Dharma and Greg, as a successful, single (of course!) attorney who is often the subject of her father’s attempts to pair her with the ‘perfect man.’ Beloved long-time actor Dabney Coleman plays Elfman’s father, so the show has no shortage of talent.
Here’s a question, though: why are successful women on TV so often single?

Prime Cuts: Your Best Bets In Prime Time For Monday, 1-22-06
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Editorial,
Ah…last night heralded the return of solid, non-weekend TV entertainment. Tonight, we recommend:
King of Queens and How I Met Your Mother, 8 and 8:30pm, CBS. Enjoy all-new episodes of these charming comedies.
Skating With Celebrities, 8pm, FOX. This wonderfully tacky show is sure to please reality lovers, with big drama unfolding tonight as the first couple is eliminated.
24, 9pm, FOX. Jack embarks on the 11:00am hour, fighting bad guys with a limited time to do it. Shocking plot, I know. This is your best bet for 9pm, though if you’re in a romantic mood, you may enjoy a repeat of ABC’s The Bachelor.
Medium, 10pm, NBC. The best show on television offers a new episode tonight, with Allison in a quandary trying to locate a missing boy who, in her visions, turns out to be a rather evil adult.
CSI: Miami, 10pm, CBS. Horatio battles gangs and ‘gators.
The Bachelor, Paris, 10pm, ABC. Romantics will enjoy this new episode, but keep in mind: it doesn’t get much sweeter than Allison and Joe’s relationship on NBC’s Medium.

Jason Ritter Stars In New Comedy Series “The Class”
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Comedy, CBS, Talent,
It runs in the family: Jason Ritter, son of the late John Ritter, will be testing his comedic genius. The CBS series, The Class, follows the adventures of Ritter’s character, Ethan, who throws a part for seven of his third-grade classmates. The party sets off a series of events that leads to the friends reconnecting with each other. Jason was brilliant in the dramatic role of Kevin Girardi, a paralyzed former sports star on Joan of Arcadia. It will be interesting to see how he does in comedy. There’s no word yet on when the pilot will air, but we’re looking forward to it.
