What to Watch Wed., Jan. 24

by Kelly Woo, posted Jan 24th 2007 11:06AM

George Lopez on ABCGeorge Lopez (8PM, ABC)
What, "'George Lopez' is still on?," you ask. Yes, indeed. Ol' George is back, and it's nice to see him again. For all the hoo-ha over single-camera comedies like 'The Office' and '30 Rock,' a well-made traditional family sitcom is a valuable thing. Tonight, George and Angie discover they might not be empty-nesters when Carmen leaves for college after all.

NOTEWORTHY

Top Chef (10PM, Bravo)
The final four face off in Hawaii; only two will advance to the final. Anyone besides me actually rooting for Marcel? Poor kid's getting ganged up on (and was even hit by a bottle-wielding viewer recently), and I'm not even sure he's acted so badly.

Armed and Famous (8PM, CBS)
Come on, Erik Estrada, punch some perps. Do it, do it, do it.

Dinner Impossible (10PM, Food Network) series premiere
Chef Robert Irvine cooks under extreme pressure, like preparing a wedding feast for 200 guests in 10 hours and a gourmet tailgating meal for football execs.

Friday Night Lights (8PM, NBC)
Smash runs up against someone he can't get past: his momma.

MythBusters (9PM, Discovery)
Oooh, Adam and Jamie tackle one of my biggest fears: getting out of a submerged car.

ALSO NEW TONIGHT

American Idol (8PM, Fox)
Beauty and the Geek (8PM, The CW)

According to Jim (8:30PM, ABC)

Is It Real? Life on Mars (9PM, NGC)

I don't even really mind the crossposting with AOL. What I mind is the crossposting FROM AOL. Had AOL decided to syndicate Bob Sassone's column over there, I would have understood.

Hey, if you have duplication of services in your workforce, something has to give. Hopefully, you keep the better of the two providers.

It looks like AOL bought weblogs for a reader base instead of the content, and I don't like the implication that I have been bought. AOL didn't have compelling content before, now they bought someone who did, and we lost the content so they can try to have the readership.

Icck. I feel slimy. And I'm an AOL stockholder!

It's really not the new "format" that's the problem. The problem is that these are corporate shill "recommendations" that don't have anything to do with the personal tastes and preferences of the TV Squad bloggers, and have no connection to the general personal tastes of TV Squad readers. If there's no one at TV Squad to do a "What to Watch" on a daily basis anymore, fine, let it die. Replacing it with "recommendations" that have less critical value than the TV listings in my local free tabloid is the WRONG approach.

Danny and Jim I agree that the time of the posting is the least important of the 4 complaints I listed, by far. I was just recapping what people have been saying over the last 3 weeks. Although for a while when Whats on Tonight and Who's on the Late Night Talk Shows were posted right next to each other late in the afternoon that was useful, and logical.

To me it's #4 that's inexcusable.

Oops! I missed a day to complain about this recycled, uselessly formatted, poorly written, snarkily titled, excuse for a column.

I am one of those who prefers that the column be published later in the day. I find it to be far more useful after work. It's the absolute least of the problems and I don't consider it to be truly important.

Will anyone address why we have to endure this? Hello? McDuffee? Anyone?

And, apparently somebody missed the fact that the 55th NHL All Star Game is on Versus tonight at 8 PM. Sure it will be a snooze fest of goal scoring, but I can always hope somebody checks Sidney Crosby into lindrosland.

Okay, well I really don't understand why someone would prefer that it be posted LATER in the day. Those people seem to be unbelievably selfish. The earlier it is posted , the MORE PEOPLE IT HELPS. Some people might not have time to look later in the day. The only reason that I can think of is that they do not want to click "continue" to get to the page it's on. If that is the case, you should know that on the 1st page, under the "Features" section (middle of the page), you can click on "What To Watch Tonight" and be brought directly to it. If that isn't the problem, could someone please explain the benefit of having this information posted later in the day?
