What’s Hot On TV Tonight - Comedy You Can Believe In

Posted on Sunday, June 28, 2009 in What's Hot On TV

David Alan Grier hosts a special tonight on TBS, Comedy You Can Believe In. It’s about time he find someone that understands his comedy after his stint on Dancing With the Stars where it seemed like they just didn’t get him. He explains his comedy and this special in a recent conference call. And while you’re laughing, check out Hung, a new comedy on HBO. You have to appreciate a guy that recognizes his God-given gifts.

1. The House Bunny. Surprisingly enough, this movie is okay for younger girls. I was afraid to let my tween see it because of the Playboy theme, but it’s really innocuous as the movie turns out to be one of accepting everyone, no matter their faults. 12:30 PM CT Starz West

2. NASCAR Racing: Sprint Cup In Loudon, NH. It’s the Lenox Industrial Tools 301. Only ten races are left before the Chase for the Championship. 1:00 PM CT TNT

3. The TV Set. I expect this movie about a screenwriter who follows a movie all the way through from writing it to casting, to directing, etc. I have a feeling it causes screenwriters all over to nod their heads in recognition. David Duchovny, Sigourney Weaver, and Justine Bateman star. 2:00 PM CT Starz Comedy

4. 60 Minutes. Online poker cheating, neuroscience and how to read a person’s mind, and a profile on philanthropist Gregory C. Carr. 6:00 PM CT CBS (more…)
