Whats Hot On TV

There are some great NFL football games on today. Some pretty well-matched teams that are in the top of their divisions. And after that is the World Series. There’s no Sunday Night Football game on tonight, and I can only imagine it’s so as not to conflict with baseball, which is kind of nice of them when you think about it, but I’m sure it has more to do with contracts than being nice.

1. Meet the Press. Sen. John McCain is on discussing his candidacy for the presidential election. Hopefully you got some sleep last night, otherwise it’s going to blend right in with Saturday Night Live. 10:00 AM CT NBC

2. Revenge of the Nerds. If you’re totally not into football, this is the movie for you. Even iffy are into football, it’s still a really funny flick. 11:30 AM CT AMax E

3. NFL Football. Cardinals at Panthers. Both of these teams are leading their divisions, with Arizona 4-2 and Carolina at 5-2, however, Arizona is in a much weaker division The lowest performing team in Carolina’s division is the Saints at 3-4. Carolina’s offense will be the one to watch. 12:00 PM CT Fox

7. America’s Funniest Home Videos. Included clips are birthday snafus and a couple trying to catch a squirrel in their house. The most irritating thing to me is while I think it’s uninteresting and nothing new, if it ends up being on the TV, I still laugh my ass off. 6:00 PM CT ABC

8. In Harm’s Way. The focus of this episode is on people who clear mines. Yeah, I’d say that’s in harm’s way. 6:00 PM CT CW
