TV Geek Army Field Guide: Alcatraz blues

Yeah, I (still) watch The Bachelor. I'm not sure why I do some of the time – and certainly the DVR is handy to fast forward through the endless recap/teases and the (at times endless) annoying or boring bits. Certainly the last few seasons of The Bachelor/Bachelorette are not doing a lot for the franchise. For what it's worth, last summer's edition of Bachelor Pad was more entertaining, what with it's unabashed trash factor.

We have Emily Maynard to look forward to on the next season of The Bachelorette, I suppose.

TV Geek Army Field Guide: Marching Orders

Finales

  • Cake Boss: Next Great Baker – TLC, 9:00
  • Mission Imperatives

  • The Bachelor – ABC, 8:00
  • Alcatraz – FOX, 9:00
  • Hoarders – A&E, 9:00
  • Caged – MTV, 10:00
  • Being Human – Syfy, 9:00
  • TVGA Field Guide Notes

  • Check out Lucas High's coverage of Caged. It's one of the more compelling reality shows to come around in a while, having appeal from both a sports and human interest (with a dash of train wreck-ery here and there). If you're a sports fan and/or an admirer of Friday Night Lights (and why on earth wouldn't you be) this is well worth a check out.
  • I must admit that I'm already getting a little bit bored by Alcatraz, but it has enough going for it that I'll be sticking around for at least a few more episodes yet.
  • Also check out MaryAnn Sleasman's coverage of Being Human.
  • What are you looking forward to tonight? Let us know in the comments, and tell us too what should / should not be a "mission imperative"!

    More From Eric - TV Geek Army "Revered Leader"

    Now that Paul Kinsey (Michael Gladis) made a brief but splashy and phenomenal return during last night's Mad Men episode, "Christmas Waltz," there remains only one significant advertising pro from the early seasons who has not made an appearance in the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce era.

    My first thought was: "Sounds pretty good, will definitely check it out when it makes air." But then the Bigger Picture came into play.
