It's been a momentous month in the history of television. Here are the
HIGHLIGHTS and
LOWLIGHTS and
WHAT TO WATCH next:
HIGHLIGHT - I discovered
Work Out on Bravo, and let me tell you, Ginger watched the first episode while running on the elliptical machine, and the sight of all those bodies in motion really motivated my ass. (Plus, you know reality tv is like horse to Ginger.) And I must say gym-guru Jackie Warner is my favorite kind of lesbian a) capable b) driven and c) looks great in flats. Can you feel the burn?
LOWLIGHT - We said goodbye to
The Chappelle's Show for good. As a Highlight within a lowlight, the final three, cobbled-together-from-already-filmed-materal episodes - which I worried would be godawful, the way Dave was talkin' to Oprah - were actually a fitting send-off, full of the brave humor about society's racial and financial inequities that is the Chappelle Show trademark. But Dave, if I may say one thing to you, in response to you tellin' Oprah that you were worried that some people might be taking your mocking racism as enjoying racism: JESUS CHRIST, OF COURSE THEY DO. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO READ NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC FOR THE NAKED BUSH WOMEN, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY SHOULD STOP PUBLISHING NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!
HIGHLIGHT - My boyfriend Morgan Spurlock has returned with
30 Days. Sadly, there are fewer apperances of my sweet, handle-bar-mustachioed love (he remains more in the voice over this season), but at least we can look forward to the episode where he goes to prison and, if previews are to be believed, hew ill be getting all sorts of nekkid!
WHAT TO WATCH: Tonight, it's the big episode of
Project Runway where someone gets kicked off. Mark my words, people. It's not gonna be as good as you think. If I had to guess, someone has a Blackberry - a comedian got kicked off of
Last Comic Standing for that this year. Also: On
30 Days Morgan sends some guy whose job was outsourced to India to go get it back! If only he would send his big man arms to get me back. Well, there's always next sesason
