Not to worry, I've got it handled for you. Above is an image of my living room so I'm all set, but some of you might not have this set up.
First off, if you're watching football on the east coast today just dismiss this whole post. I can't figure out your optimal viewing strategy if you're committed to a show that has no definitive end time.
The big event is of course the Golden Globe Awards on NBC despite the kerfuffle with Dick Clark Productions and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and between the HFPA and the guy who came forward with allegations of wrongdoing in the organization.
By the way -- and you know I'm serious here because I haven't used the acronym btw -- it cracks me up that once again someone has come forward with allegations against HFPA. Duh, of course there's wrongdoing, we've kinda known that for a long time. Pia Zadora, remember? Sure these people may be lining their pockets and they are also hardly journalists and certainly not at the level of the the people who do that job here in the US. But the Globes is a Teflon brand, nothing sticks and nothing stays, and I think the reason is twofold: 1) The Globes ceremony itself a party-riffic event perfect for TV that NBC wants to hold on to without injury to it, and 2) No one really cares enough to do anything about the irregularities and the allegations of corruption.
Here is the west coast we are enjoying our second year of watching the Globes live (previously only the Academy Awards aired live here), which is fortunate because there is so much more tube to watch tonight.
More after the jumperoo, with clips.
It's the final season for HBO's Big Love, a show that I was sketchy with until the Jack Abramoff-inspired storyline from last season with the casino that apparently other fans of the show were not liking so much. I loved it and Sissy Spacek as lobbyist from hell.
For those of you who weren't liking it the producers have promised to bring it all home for the final stanza. Now that the world knows who the Henricksons really are there should be plenty o' drama both inside and outside the family. Great thing for me is that when I finish this season I can go back to the first three and catch up.
Watch the trailer for the final season by clicking this.
Fox's animated comedies are all new tonight also, though I personally feel you could skip Bob's Burgers and instead stick hot metal rods in your eyes and have a better time I would never dissuade you from new episodes of The Simpsons, Family Guy and The Cleveland Show (click it for preview clip, additional behind the scenes clip with guest star Glee's Chris Colfer at this link).
Larry Hagman is on ABC's Desperate Housewives tonight, the second episode of Downton Abbey airs on PBS (check your listings), 60 Minutes looks at the Giffords shooting one week later and a piece on Gregg Allman (really? yes, really) on CBS, after football on the east coast.
Or, you know, you could read.
Yeah, I got a laugh outta that, too.
