Daily Picks For Thursday, May 29, 2008

by Lauren Gitlin May 29, 2008 6:00 AM
Step It Up And DIE!
The madness has commenced, and you are now doomed to at least a year of post-Sex fallout in the form of screeching, Cosmo-swilling banshees wearing over-sized flower brooches and oversharing about their experiments in bukakke. What better way to celebrate than with a Fashion Don't Extravaganza? Catch Sex and the City: Live from the Red Carpet (E! 8 PM) and get a preview of the styles that will be arriving at your local Hot Topic in mere months!

A brand spanking new season of Last Comic Standing (NBC, 8:30) is getting in gear with a panel of celebrity judges that runs the gamut from mildly funny to retardedly unfunny. In case the producers are interested in saving money next year, I have a much better way to determine the last comic standing. It involves serving my custom knuckle sandwich to contestants who fails to make me laugh. Cost-effective and violent. It's a win-win.

After teasing us for weeks with previews hinting that the marooned sextet has finally been rescued, we can finally get some closure with tonight's season finale of Lost (ABC, 9 PM). PSYCH.

Step It Up And Dance (Bravo, 10 PM) has officially lost its hold on the distinction of dumbest TV show title in the history of the universe, having been ousted by the far superior (inferior?) Farmer Wants A Wife. Alas, it got its hooks in me well before FWAW came on the scene, and now I feel compelled to tune in for the finale, so as to find out who heeded Elizabeth Berkley's inane request that he or she Step It Up. And, um, you know. Dance or some shit.

Awesometown! In the newest installment of my very favorite 'educational' program, we'll be exposed to three delusional internet junkies who have been sucked into the alternate realities of Second Life (and similar) on True Life -- I Live Another Life On the Web (MTV, 10 PM). Bonus: you KNOW this is totally laying the groundwork for a few dozen forthcoming episodes of Law & Order: SVU.

Finally a new episode of Reno 911! (Comedy Central, 10:30 PM) A new reason to feast my eyes on the snug-fitting brown shorts uniforms and revel in the delightful travails of the world's trashiest, bumbling-est and sordid-est police force ever to grace the small screen. And also, as I previously mentioned, Michael Ian Black.
