Senses Working Overtime: This Week in Television (11/18/07)

Part of: Senses Working Overtime: This Week in Television

Written by Musgo Del Jefe

MUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEK:
No. 97 - You Only Live Twice (SPIKE) (SAT) 

The first Bond film I've included in the list.  Will it be the only to make the Top 100?  The fifth in the series and next to last for Sean Connery.  Here he's a man at the top of his game. Set almost exclusively in Japan, the series has everything we think as "Bond" - a mini-movie beginning, great cars, great gadgets, hot women and a great villain (Donald Pleasence as Blofeld).  Oh yeah, and ninjas!  The Nancy Sinatra theme and John Barry score is just icing on the tasty cake.  Without this film - we wouldn't have such diverse products as Austin Powers and The Incredibles - both of which borrow heavily from this Bond.

SUNDAY
2007 American Music Awards (ABC)  No writers means no new jokes.  Here's a thought - let the music do the talking.  And more Beyonce!

The Simpsons (FOX)  New comic book shop opens in Springfield.  And it's owner is Jack Black.  Best episode ever???  Probably not, but it's promising.

Andrew Jackson (HIST)  I like his picture on the $20.  Can't tell you much more than he was called "Old Hickory".  After these 2 hours, I'll cream you in AJ trivia.

MONDAY
Weeds (SHOW)  The pay-cable series that should be populating my Tivo concludes it's season tonight.  Every trailer for this looks like gold and yet I haven't made the commitment.

Chuck (NBC)  What is it with cute girls on this show?  Rachel Bilson guests.

Late Night w/Conan O’Brien (NBC) Frank Caliendo and Galactic.

TUESDAY
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (ABC)  I don't believe I've missed an airing in +30 years.  Even more of a tradition for me than the Christmas special.  Yeah, I said it.  Snoopy fighting with the chair?  Makes me laugh every single time.

Frank TV (TBS)  Caliendo is the second funniest Frank I know, so this could be good.

WEDNESDAY
Pushing Daisies (ABC)  I promise to catch up when the DVD set comes out this Summer.  In the meantime, it's a Paul Reubens guest alert.
