8:00p/7:00 Central

• Yes, I know there were specials on MTV this afternoon featuring “Lost Scenes” from The Hills. I just don’t care. If you really want to watch them, and missed them, I’m sure MTV will repeat them ad nauseum throughout the next week.
• What is on is NBC’s America’s Toughest Job, settling into a new timeslot just in time for the 5 remaining contestants to tackle search and rescue on Alaska’s Mt. McKinley. I wonder if they can see Russia from up there? TLC’s Flip That House comes at you with two back-to-back renovations stretching from Georgia to California.
• ABC’s cooking up some more Saturday Night College Football. It looks as if games may vary by location so check your local listings. One thing that won’t vary is the ALCS Game 6 on TBS. After the Red Sox gave the Rays a stunning come-from-behind spanking, the action returns to Tampa.
• The premiere of Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling features the likes of Tiffany, Todd Bridges and Danny Bonaduce: basically those “celebrities” who’ll do any kind of reality show to get some exposure and money. It’s the fact that it’s on CMT that makes little sense to me.
• FOX offers up a two-hour block of Cops repeats, while CBS repeats Nicholas Brendon’s guest appearance on Criminal Minds from last season.

• It’s SEC College Football Saturday on CBS as they offer up two back-to-back battles. First up we’ve got Tennessee at Georgia (11) kicking off at 3:30p/2:30 Central.

• The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series returns to prime time on ABC at 7:30p/6:30 Central with the Bank of America 500 at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte, NC.

• Tonight’s another baseball twofer, and the National League Division Series may both wrap-up in sweep fashion. First up, Philadelphia looks to put a nail in the coffin of the Brewers World Series hopes in the NLDS Game 3.

• As I’m from the St. Louis area, the story of Shawn Hornbeck’s shocking rescue and recovery after his disappearance for years was followed pretty closely. While he’s been mostly quiet since, recouping with family, he’ll be speaking out for the first time about his captivity on CBS’s 48 Hours Mystery.
• FOX sticks to its guns as it has for two decades, offering up back-to-back Cops. And ABC goes with the old standby of Saturday Night College Football. Let’s face it, nobody’s at home watching TV on Saturdays anymore. That’s why MyNetwork TV is having movie night at home with Walking Tall.
• So is there a difference between A&E’s Flip This House and TLC’s Flip That House? Other than one word? It seems to me like it’s the same show. I would have at least tried to get a little more creative with the name. After that, tune into (gasp!) another design show, Over Designed, featuring someone who’s obsessed with an “African King” motif.

• TLC offers up the finale of the feel good story of Greensburg, KS as the community comes together to put the finishing touches on their homes destroyed by a tornado in Making It Home: Greensburg.

• The good times continue on TLC with Flip That House and Over Designed. In the former you can watch as a home is built on the cheap and rebuilt into something nice. On the latter, you can watch design expert Kenneth Brown teach a lady that when it comes to home decor, there is a things as too much penguins.
• I’ll be watching Cops on FOX so I can see what not to do the next time I get chased by Jonny Law. I’m taking bets on ABC’s Saturday Night College Football and I know I’m ‘a hafta bust some kneecaps if these bitches don’t pay! I’m looking at you, Jay Black!
