Thursday TV Highlights 11/16

My Name is Earl: Christian Slater plays a stoner. Now I understand what he’s been doing research for all these years. Part of the show is in claymation or foamation or whatever it is they used for Celebrity Deathmatch.

Smallville: For a moment I was excited because I thought Arizona Diamondbacks’ pitcher Miguel Batista was going to appear on the show, but apparently Batista is a wrestler. Anyway, he plays a guy with the power to suck the bones right out of people’s bodies. To paraphrase Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Finally, a guy on the show who is supposed to suck. I’ll give them credit though; he looks über-creepy in the previews.

‘Til Death: Steph has an erotic dream about Eddie. I hate to say it, but if she’s having erotic dreams about Brad Garret, she probably needs to go into counseling. At the very least she is suffering from PTSD.

Ugly Betty: Betty is torn between work and home on Halloween. I assume she can’t figure out which place she should screw things up at more. Special guest appearance by Martha Stewart, who I assume will teach Betty how to fashion a decorative shiv.

The Office: It’s the episode we’ve all been waiting for. Jim finally comes back to Scranton and nails Pam in the men’s room by the light of the cookie candle. OK, only the first part is going to happen but the second part is what should happen.

CSI: Identical twins who have never met are murdered on the same night. Which line will come first? Looks like we’re working the same case or only in Vegas?

Grey’s Anatomy: Meredith wants to have a more positive outlook on life. I just want the ho-bag to stop sleeping around.

Barbara Walters Special 30 Mistakes in 30 Years: Please tell me the show is hosted by her talking dog Cha-Cha.

ER: There’s no sign of Forest Whitaker in the cast of tonight’s episode, so you may consider it safe to watch . . . for now.

Tonight’s Pick N’ Flick

Dr. Dolittle 3: It’s straight to video and Eddie Murphy free. If you really love talking animals but you just couldn’t stand to watch Eddie Murphy betray the last shreds of his talent in order to regain commercial success, then this is the talking animal movie for you. Bonus: it’s on ABC Family so if you have a bladder infection you’ll have lots of time to use the bathroom without missing a moment of the film.
