Daily Picks For Wednesday, December 26, 2007

Settling down for a long day of bill-paying in front of the tube?  We've got all manner of viewing distractions, after the jump.

The Power Of Cabot Cove Compels You: To watch an episode of Murder, She Wrote guest-starring Linda Blair. (Hallmark, noon)

It Could Be Worse: You could be in a Bergman film -- namely Smiles of a Summer Night.  This one doesn't have Death walking on the beach or anything, but...Bergman.  (Sundance, 1 PM)

The Power Of Three Compels You: Charmed-ian Rose McGowan stars as a murderous teen in Devil In The Flesh (Lifetime, 2 PM)

The Pepper Of Christ...Okay, I'll Stop With That Now: The Project Runway-thon continues with the postal-uniform episode, on which Wendy Pepper should have been eliminated.  Just like every other challenge she participated in.  Hate!  (Bravo, 3 PM)

Groovy: Adam and Jamie take on exploding lava lamps on Mythbusters.  (Discovery, 4 PM)

When The Episode Summary Starts With "Gina," It's Just Not Good: But let's hope this means the 90210 reruns are about to cycle back to the Brenda years.  (Soapnet, 5 PM)

Sometimes, Dead Is Bettah: Especially if you were the acting coach on Pet Sematary.  Gotta give Dale Midkiff credit, though; he gives the line "Fuck you, hairball" 200 percent.  (Cinemax, 6 PM)

Remember When John Cusack Didn't Look Like The Madame Tussaud's Version Of Himself?: High Fidelity is the end of that era.  (VH1 Classic, 7 PM)

If You Couldn't Get A Ticket To Sweeney Todd: Maybe you'll settle for Sleepy Hollow instead.  (TBS, 8 PM)

World-Famous For 15 Minutes: Warhol's own fame has lasted much longer, of course; learn why on Andy Warhol: The Complete Picture, which features interviews with friends and associates.  (Ovation, 9 PM)

Real World Sydney's European Vacation: Or not, as the case may be; looks like someone gets drunk, and someone else whose name rhymes with "fun car" loses his shit.  Good thing we're sitting down, eh?  (MTV, 10 PM)

Shut Up, Brady: The 11 PM entry in the My Fair Brady-thon features Chris making a tactless remark to Adrianne's mom.  How this differentiates it from most of the other episodes, I'm not entirely sure.  (TV Guide Network)

Two Questions: 1) They're airing Harold & Kumar on basic cable?  Really?  I know it's midnight, but damn.  2) Princeton turns down hundreds of shooting requests a year, but approved...this?  And IQ?  Who's running that office, monkeys?  (TBS, midnight)

Working Girls: Chrissy's visiting friend is a hooker!  (Spoiler!)  It's Three's Company, so I'll just go way out on a skinny limb and predict that wacky misunderstandings ensue.  (TV Land, 1 AM)

Hope You Like Ham: Because I'll bet that's what The Young Lions eat -- Brando, Clift, and El Dino as "three reluctant soldiers in World War II."  (AMC, 2 AM)
