I watched:
THE O'REILLY FACTOR:
• Fallout from Florida! Romney won sunshine state voters, but what will
the results mean for the GOP race going forward.
• Sarah Palin enters the "No Spin Zone"
THE BOB NEWHART SHOW:
"The Slammer". Bob and his college friend are arrested for solicitation
after trying to buy tickets to a basketball game from two women.
THAT GIRL:
"To Each Her Own". After discovering her loser boyfriend is doing a
story on computer dating services with her as the guide, Marlo decides
to try it herself. Hey! it's "the doctor" from The Love Boat, Ruth
Buzzi, and Rich Little! Too bad she didn't ditch her drip of a boyfriend
for Rich Little.
THE CHALLENGE: BATTLE OF THE EXES:
This was the second ep of the latest RW/RR Challenge in which they pair
up people who used to date each other. This of course, is kinda
meaningless since a mapping of who has done who would practically make a
K-map, Anyhow, I lost interst after 15 minutes when someone got kicked
off the show for amacking someone or something and they ended with a
commercial break before revealing the fate of his team mate. They're
only playing the second ep after premiering the first week in January?

WHITNEY: Alex thinks that Whitney is being pursued by a coworker. I'm
guessing that the coworker is gay. Alex and Whitney see a therapist (John
Cleese) who wants the couple to spend quality time together without sex.
All in all, Whitney seem more and more like a prude every episode. I didn't
like the 'outtake'/'adlib'/whatever at the end with Cleese.

Very little:
House of Anubis (NICK) - This was a strange (pair of) episode(s): Mara
was barely in it (and I don't think she got a speaking line), and even
Nina wasn't in it much. It was mostly focused on troublemaking Jerome
(but still no Poopy... :( ), and sassy Patricia. Anyway, there was
almost no movement on any plot-front except that more people are getting
suspicious of the new evol housemistress, Vera.
Last Man Standing (recorded) - These were both reruns.
The first episode was the Halloween episode, which I thought was
pretty weak (though I did very much appreciate Mandy's sexy 'kitty'
costume).
The second episode, in which Mike lays down some 'house rules' after
he catches the dumb coworker kid (Kyle) in Kristin's room in the
morning. This episode was quite funny as all of the women, esp. Kristin
and Eve (who was having her first period) were 'buggin' out' on poor
Mike. LOL. :)
Suburgatory - The rerun of the Halloween episode. For my money, this may
actually be the weakest "Suburgatory" episode - the plot doesn't even
make sense... :/
Recorded for later: H2O, One Tree Hill, Revenge (rerun), and The Soup (I
think I've got 4 of these to go through now!... :/ ).

One Tree Hill -- so neither of the babies died -- yet -- so I'm thinking
the spoilers were wrong and that either Dan or Nathan will be the one that's
under the sheet possibly from the drug dealer Dan threatened. Killing off a
baby, even accidentally, always seemed a bit too much to me. Julian is
racked with guilt. Brooke is having trouble forgiving. Chase wakes up with a
new lady (Chelsea Kane) who also happens to be Chris Keller's girlfriend and
the new OTH Café owner. She seems to have a thing for Chase. Surely. Alex
will return before this one ends. Mouth is in denial over his fatness until
Skills returns and sets him straight. Clay tells Quinn to get lost 'cause
he's afraid to tell her he's sleepwalking all the time and blacking out.
This is after Quinn confronts a drug dealer and gets a gun in the grill. He
commits himself to the hospital to get better. Dan threatens the drug dealer
after hearing about Quinn and the gun. Nathan is flying back from Europe,
but never arrives home.
Royal Pains -- Hank hurts his back and Van Dyke takes over his rounds. He
and Evan make a good team, but Evan soon learns why Hank isn't easily
replaced. Joanna Garcia pops in as the doc running an experimental lupus
program that Jack the Golfer enters. Divya is trying to sell some of the
family china she owns to raise money, but while on a housecall, it's stolen.
She and Jill give chase and end up having to treat and save the life of the
a**hole thief who broke the china in a crash during which he impales
himself.

That would be like buying a "Captain Action" doll, oops "action figure".

It was a standalone hero doll, but had the advantage that you could get
costumes for other superheroes and the like, so you could play all kinds
of games.
If she'd dated Rich Little, every night it would be a different man, with
Rich doing a different impression each night.
Don't forget, Bernie Koppell was "Siegfried" on "Get Smart". Both roles
are what he is so associated with, it does seem odd to see him in other
roles.

*why* I watch it. I feel like I need to take a shower afterwards.
It's odd, several people give me a hard time for watching "Dance Moms",
which is (IMHO) a pretty good show. But nobody says anything about
Challenge, which is pretty much crawling down into the muck of humanity.
I was glad that Leroy won the challenge, since he's about the only person
I actually like on the show.

The stalker girl and Naomi throw a party. Bland episode.
Ringer (recorded) - already discussed.
American Idol - same as usual.
Betty White's 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America's Golden Girl
(recorded) - I fast forwarded through chunks of it but what I saw was
pretty good.
Goosebumps (recorded) "Awesome Ants" - A boy buys an ant farm and
overfeeds the ants causing them to grow to an unmanageable size. The
episode became increasingly surreal which bugged me a bit but by the end
it became clear there was a good reason for the surreal aspect of the
episode. I also spotted Catherine Disher playing the boys mother.

all the time normally, but the ones I would have watched showed episodes
I'd seen before. Except maybe CSI - I thought I'd seen it, but maybe
not, didn't watch the whole thing.

Whitney might be getting pursued by was Kathy Griffin character's boss. No
hint of Kathy Griffin in this episode, so maybe she was just a one time
guest.

character this week was Kathy Griffin. I don't know what to think of it,
only that there was sort of a pattern between the two episodes.
Maybe they'll morph the show, drop some of the friends or even the
friends and husband, and have her at work. The show had been a home-based
sitcom, adding the office seems like they may be tryging to save the show
or something.

In this case, the pattern was just my speculation (wild guess) based upon

the lead male's theory that this guy was hitting on his girlfriend (Whitney)
while at the same time being dodgy about producing his own supposed
girlfriend.
