Today's TWoP News: February 9, 2010

It's a strange news day to be sure, but one thing is certain: MTV is happy they don't have to make a token effort to play music anymore now that they've ditched that part of their logo.

TV on DVD: Tuesday, Februrary 9, 2010

TV on DVD: Tuesday, Februrary 9, 2010 It's uh... really not that exciting for TV DVDs this week. I can't even sugarcoat it. If you care about any of these shows, I'll just say I'm happy you've found your niche in life and just leave it at that.

Celebrity Fit Club: What Exactly Did K-Fed Eat?

Last night, Celebrity Fit Club returned for a new season of Boot Camp and while there's a part of me that still misses Ant and the lazy people not showing up to work out because of their insanely busy schedules of local Best Buy appearances, there's another part of me that really appreciates that this format allows Harvey to go nuts and torture people. Have you seen that obstacle course? That looks actually challenging... and muddy!

Today's TWoP News: February 8, 2010

Yesterday was a big day for TV! Can you believe that the Super Bowl raked in 106.5 million viewers, the largest audience in television history? No wonder I kept getting a busy signal while trying to reach Barney Stinson.

Ashton Kutcher: A Surprisingly Non-Annoying SNL Host With all the Super Bowl excitement yesterday and this morning, I almost completely forgot about this weekend's SNL episode. A surprisingly good one, actually, despite the bounding irrelevance of host Ashton Kutcher and the inexplicable phenomenon that occurs when great musicians like Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones collaborate to create some of the dullest music ever (also known as the Jackson-McCartney Effect). Here were the highs and lows of the episode.

Super Bowl 2010: The Best and Worst Commercials It was a relatively low-key Super Bowl, commercial-wise, with a couple spots of brilliance coupled with a whole lot of backwards-thinking and/or uninspired shilling. Here are the best and the worst from last night, as we see them. (And for our take on last night's movie trailers, check out Zach's round-up.)

Undercover Boss: Nothing Says Drinking and Celebrating Like a Show About Garbage

I'm still not entirely sure why CBS decided to debut a show like this after the Super Bowl. I get that the game and its ratings provide a massive platform to launch a series, but after a day of drinking, eating way too many carbs and watching guys slug it out on the gridiron, the last thing I need is a "feel-good" reality show to lull me to sleep. This post-game berth should've gone to something funny or filled with action -- and CBS has that covered. A very special football themed Big Bang Theory? That would have been amazing. Heck, a CSI: Wherever that started with an explosion and one of the screaming Who songs that we were subjected to during the half-time show would have been a better match. Instead... there was this.

House's Lisa Edelstein Has Her Own Episode, Thinks You Don't Know Her Job Just as last November brought us a Wilson-centric House episode, tonight we'll be seeing an all-Cuddy one. We're just running through everybody, apparently. In support of the episode, Lisa Edelstein participated in a conference call to defend her job performance at PPTH that everyone hates, her relationship with Lucas that everyone hates, and also to address the obvious inevitability possibility of pining for House when if she's ever single again. Read on for highlights.

Here's a childhood song that rings true in today's TV news: Rumors, rumors, are no fun. Rumors, rumors, scare people into believing that Howard Stern will be on network television.

TWoP 10: Alternate Realities We'd Like to See on Other Shows

With the season premiere of Lost offering us looks at two very different scenarios -- a safe plane landing and a post-bomb fallout life on the island - we got to thinking about what would have happened if some of our other shows had chosen different paths at key turning points. It might have improved their quality immeasurably, or at least kept them from going completely off the rails. Here are the alternate realities we wish we could've seen:
