Whats Hot On TV

I’m still tickled pink that Christian Slater is coming to broadcast TV. This film star has a way of making everything exciting, no matter what he’s doing, starting with his part as the truly psychotic kid in Heathers. He’s just so hot whether he’s on TV, movies, or getting arrested for bizarre behavior. He’s a bad boy, and I like it.

 1. Regis and Kelly. Randy Jackson is the cohost. Really? Yo, I never would have thought of him as having hosting capabilities, Dawg. The best part, though, is the guest. Christian Slater. I will watch him anywhere, any time … Syndicated, check local listings.

2. Jaws. They have all the sequels on today as well, but we all know the originals are usually the best, and this one sticks to the old standard. The only suggestion I have is if you’re planning a beach vacation in the near future, skip this one. 11:00 AM CT Cinemax West

3. Rachel Ray. For you kids that are looking for something to do on your day off of school, Miranda Cosgrove will be on today, and will go backstage to see the Naked Brothers Band. Syndicated, check local listings.

7. Dancing With the Stars. There’s definitely some dancers on the bubble tonight, and they know who they are. Rocco deSpirito  and Karina Smirnoff would have gone home last week, had it not been for Misty May-Treanor pulling herself out of the competition with an injury. Can Rocco and Karina save themselves tonight? I’m guessing not. We’re still having too much fun with Cloris Leachman. 7:00 PM CT ABC

8. Gossip Girl. The group visits Yale, which happens to be where Blair would most like to go, and Serena feigns interest, just to get on Blair’s nerves. While there, Dan finds that his recommendation letters were never submitted to the school. 7:00 PM CT CW

17. CSI: Miami. Horatio’s team clashes with the Russian mob while investigating a double murder in the Everglades. 9:00 PM CT CBS

18. My Own Worst Enemy. It’s finally the series premiere of this new show. This is the one show I was waiting for the most, and it ends up being one of the last ones to start. Christian Slater stars as a man leading a double life of regular every day joe and a spy. 9:00 PM CT NBC

20. Late Night With Conan O’Brien. Christian Slater is a guest, and I have to ask why he appears a few hours after his show debuted. Why not have him on before so that people can know to watch it? Surely everyone out there wasn’t waiting for it to start, just because I was, and could have used the knowledge and preview of it beforehand. 11:35 PM CT NBC
