Late Night with Conan O’Brian – The Holy Grail of late night shows. All the celebrity and flair of other late night shows, but with a wittier host. Bostonian and Harvard grad O’Brian’s opening monologue is heads above the competition due to Conan’s unpretentious sarcasm and superior band, Max Weinberg (of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band) and the Max Weinberg Seven.
The Osbournes – Sooner or later, reality TV was going to turn to celebrity – and thank God it did. The Prince of F#*^ing Darkness and his family saved America from a hostile Survivor take over with old fashioned family values. Be sure to watch the second season of this Emmy award winning series.
The NBC Thursday Night Lineup – Cliché, but true: no other night on TV is more watched or more raved about. In its 9th season, Friends continues to dominate the prime-time sitcom scene. The newer Scrubs is inventive and hysterical, while Will and Grace rounds off the night. Just make sure to jet before Good Morning, Miami, which is probably the worst sitcom of 2002.
The Sopranos – OK, didn’t like the Sopranos this season? In its 4th season, many were complaining that the HBO series had become too much talk, not enough action. Still, even at its worst, the Soprano family is still the best. Watch February 2nd when HBO begins running seasons 1-4.
The Best Damn Sports Show, Period – Is it sports? Is it comedy? This show is the best of both worlds. Sports fans will appreciate the in-depth, expert sports coverage; everyone else will love watching Tom Arnold rag on everyone else.
3 South – MTV’s newest animated series follows the lives of freshman Sanford and Del through their first year at the third-rate Barder College. Watch dumb boys with ridiculously low IQ’s guffaw Beavis and Butthead style, and feel self-important.
MTV: True Life – Another award-winning MTV documentary, True Life presents a glimpse into subculture from a first-person perspective. Look for documentaries covering everything from marriage to midgets and everything in between. Surprisingly, MTV’s non-Osbourne attempt at reality television is twenty times better than the crappier than anything Real World/Road Rules garbage that they air in repeats 20 times a day.
