Tonight is the 4.5 season premiere of Battlestar Galactica—IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW. (See it for free at the Bagdad tonight at 10 pm.)
Also tonight at 9 pm, Friday Night Lights returns to NBC with another new season of zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Failed candidate John McCain stops failed potential first lady Cindy McCain from being a contestant on Dancing with the Stars! (Then he called her "a cunt.")
Polygamists rejoice! Big Love returns for a new season this Sunday at 9 pm on HBO. "If there's a better written, better acted, more originally conceived show on television, I defy you to name it," says Mary McNamara of the LA Times. Mmm… Family Matters? Hello?
The L Word also returns to Showtime on Sunday at 9 pm. SNORE.
The "Top Ten Hottest Moments in Rachel Bilson History"! Thank god this is NSFW-ish!
Also returning on Sunday at 10 pm on HBO? Flight of the Conchords! YAY! Now with fewer musical numbers. BOOOO!
Spike TV counts down "The Top Seven Butterbodies."
Written by Diablo "Juno" Cody, and starring Toni Colette, The United States of Tara debuts Sunday on Showtime at 10 pm. According to one review, "it's Tara-ble!"
And finally, the dudes over at CollegeHumor.com have a new show debuting on MTV on February 8th appropriately entitled The CollegeHumor Show. Doesn't look half bad!
