Tailgating

Hmm…

According to Zap2it, of the 5 major broadcast networks, only ABC is going to carry the Presidential Address on Jobs in front of a Joint Session of Congress.  Even MSNBC is saying that they’re going with a Tweety repeat.  Don’t blink, you might miss it.

The rest?  Entertainment Tonight, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune.  In short, Local Programming.

I’ll allow you to ponder for a moment what that says about prospects for Electoral Victory in 2012.

NBC is going to be showing Football Night in America without Keith Olbermann and if you don’t care to watch that and are as television addicted as I, here is some other programming to accompany your Season Opening Kickoff party.

It’s the Hypnotoad-

• AMC- Goodfellas, Batman Begins
• Comedy- TDS/TCR
• Disney- Phineas and Ferb, Good Luck Charlie
• ESPN2- U.S. Open Tennis (maybe)
• Food- Chopped
• History- UFOs (they must be real, they’re on History Channel!)
• Lifetime- Project Runway
• Nick- Spongebob Squarepants
• SciFi- NFL Kickoff 2011 (now what this has to do with Science Fiction…, USA & Vs. too)
• TBS- Seinfeld
• Toon- MAD, Adventure Time, Regular Show
• Travel- Man v. Food (thank goodness)

It should be a fun game, Saints v. Packers– a repeat of last year’s Super Bowl.  If you want, you can discuss that below too.
