Weekend TV Highlights 12/8 – 12/10

Justice
It was a smart move switching Justice to Friday nights, because at this point in December it is about the only thing on. This week our high-powered legal team throws their well-groomed weight behind Jane Seymour. Hey, they aren’t the first.

Law & Order
I checked and it turns out this show is still on. When this Law & Order first began I was still in college and nobody had heard of Nirvana yet. The first George Bush wasn’t even unpopular yet. Hell, this show debuted before 90210! Of course, it’s still younger than the Simpsons so that gives you an idea of how damned old that show is. This week’s “ripped from the headlines” story is about wiretapping and hookers, so it should be fun.

Battlestar Galactica
The fleet faces starvation when the vending machine in the break room goes on the fritz.

Saturday

Hollidaze: The Christmas that Almost Didn’t Happen
Have you heard of Rusty the Reindeer? Me either. It appears he’s heading to New York to find out who is naughty or nice but ends up in a support group for holiday icons who hate the holidays. In case that didn’t sound scary enough, Fred Savage provides the voice of Rusty. Let’s just face it, Saturdays suck.

Sunday:

The Amazing Race (Season Finale)
If you’re like me (and if so, how’s the ointment working out?) you don’t watch this show until the finale when you can see the whole thing at once. If so, tonight’s the night.

The Simpsons
Bart and Nelson become best friends, forcing Milhouse to commit ritualistic suicide, or at least whine a lot. Haw haw!

American Dad
Steve and Roger head to New York City, where they become complete and utter failures, much like they always have been. The cool thing is the celebrity voices: John Stewart, John Krasinski and Johnny Galecki. With that many Johns, you know there’s for to be a hooker reference.

This Weekend’s Pick N’ Flick

Trading Places
Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd were never funnier than they were in this story of a rich snob and a street hustler who find their positions in life switched one Christmas.
