Discovery serves up storms, ghosts, crabs for Thanksgiving (TVSquad) - 2 weeks ago
Discovery will serve reality show marathons this Thanksgiving.

Nothing says "holiday season" like tornadoes, ghosts and animal dung. So, Discovery Channel is running marathons of their reality shows to make the yuletide season gay.

The network's scheduling release states that Mythbusters, Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs, Storm Chasers and Ghost Lab will each get a turn offering guys something to watch while they undo their belts after the big meal (and while the ladies do the dishes).

Here's the programming slate for when you're not watching football or A Year without a Santa Claus:

Nov. 26: Thanksgiving Day: Mythbusters - 9 a.m. ET/PT - 3AM ET/PT
Nov. 27: Day after Thanksgiving: Deadliest Catch - 9 a.m. - 3 a.m.
Nov. 28: Dirty Jobs - 10 a.m. - 3 a.m.
Nov. 29: Storm Chasers - 1 p.m. - 3 a.m.

Dec. 24: Christmas Eve: Dirty Jobs - 9 a.m. - 3 a.m.
Dec. 25: Christmas Day: Mythbusters - 9 a.m. - 3 a.m.
Dec. 26: Deadliest Catch - 9 a.m. - 3 a.m.

Dec. 31: New Year's Eve: Ghost Lab - 10 a.m. - 3 a.m.
Jan. 1, 2010/New Year's Day: Mythbusters - 9 a.m. - 3 a.m.

Is South Park too focused on reality TV? (TVSquad) - 3 weeks ago

Even though the show has been on forever, I still enjoy my weekly dose of the new South Parks. But lately, they seem to be running out of targets or have narrowed their focus too much on one particular evil: reality television.

The season opener featured a rather nasty swipe at Disney's Jonas Brothers. The recent "Dead Celebrities" chortle-fest took a much needed pot shot at Ghost Hunters, aka, "the gayest f#*$ing show on television." And last week launched an all out attack on Discovery's Whale Wars and Deadliest Catch, particularly against Whale Wars star Paul Watson.

The show has always been a bitch to write and making every episode a satirical masterpiece is impossible without suffering a full-on breakdown. But should the show lay off reality TV and take some bolder shots at reality, which as we all know are two completely different things?
