Well I admit I’m kind of a dummy when it comes to these things. It took me halfway through the episode to figure out what was going on. I should have more faith in the good people in charge of bringing Supernatural to us week after week than to think they would hit us with a useless dream sequence. Because initially, that’s exactly what I thought. Silly me.

Even though I was all kinds of disoriented, I was loving every second of what I saw. How much fun was it to see Sam and Dean living a normal life, working in the same building but not even knowing each other? Dean makes the perfect corporate asshole. And the master cleanse diet? Hilarious. Read the rest of this entry »

(12/22 – 12/29)

Yikes. That was not what you would call a good week of television. As usual, the holiday tossed the broadcast schedule into disarray, and new scripted programming was mighty hard to find. The only thing that passed for regular programming was the CBS Sunday night. Elsewhere, it was a mish-mash collection of movies, reality, and game shows. The interesting bit of that is found in the numbers. In some cases it looks like the networks would be better off going with repeats, as opposed to cheap, albeit original, filler programming.

Spotlight Show of the Night

Cops (FOX, 8:00 p.m./7:00 p.m. Central) – We’ve all seen those sappy Christmas specials and movies and cartoons and it’s always the same thing. So why not tune into Christmas Cops style! How’s this for holiday cheer? The Minneapolis PD are setting up a prostitution string to catch a bunch of hookers.

“Christmas Christmas time is here.
Time for whores and time for beer.
For twenty bucks you make this last.
Wait, the cops are here, just make it fast.

I’ve had 12 beers, they can’t catch me,
I’ll run this way and then be free.
Oh shit, the curb, how’d that get there.
They’ve caught me now, this isn’t fair.”

Mmmm. Smell that aroma? A mix of pine, dirty Santa suits, chocolate coins, candles, and sweat from that dude pulling out his well-worn credit card for the 20th time today. Yes, it’s once again time for that festive season of Christmakwanzakuh. A time when all men and women get together – to be first in line at the store for the four laptops they are selling at $300 a piece; a time for friends and family – who will be regifting the gift you sent them last year; and a time for television viewing.

Although most of our shows will be taking the month of December off, there is plenty of viewing to be done, thanks to the plethora of holiday cartoons, movies, and specials that will be clogging the network arteries from now until the last hours of Christmas fade into a sleepy, ham-induced memory. As there is so much out there to watch, we here at CliqueClack TV feel it is our responsibility, nay, our sworn duty to the Lords of Television, to provide you with the most comprehensive list of holiday-themed programming that we can give.

So, after the jump, you’ll be able to view a guide of what you look forward to over the next few weeks. Please read it slowly, as the sugary content of some of these shows may cause diabetes. Oh, and if you miss the initial airing of your favorite special, don’t worry. It will be on at least two or 150 more times before Christmas. So, if the sugar plums are done dancing in your heads, away we go-Ho-Ho-Ho! Read the rest of this entry »
