What on earth do I watch on TV tonight?!?

  • Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring DVD
  • The Mole Series Finale
  • How the Romans Built Bathhouses on Nova

I have absolutely no idea. Now, I could watch The Mole and Nova, as they are on at different times (9:00 and 8:00 respectively). If I really had the willpower, I could watch all three by watching LOTR into the night, or I could split it up before primetime and after primetime.

What say you?

How the Romans Built Bathhouses is a repeat and it'll be on again late tonight anyway.

You can always put off watching a DVD until later. Besides, you bought the August release so you might as well return it and wait until November.

So, watch the Mole

The Mole.

Final episode, probably ever, plus it's the payoff for watching the show all season, anyway.

Speedvison should have 3 hours of motorcycle racing on tonight. Watch that, then sneak in the Daily Show afterword.

Well, I'm watching American Idol, but that isn't one of your choices, so I would suggest the Mole, since it's the last episode. Hope you enjoy it!

BTW, evilhanz, what's wrong with the August release of LOTR? Will there be a better one coming out in November? Should I wait to get that?

The November release has an extra 30 incorporated into the movie. It also comes with a director's commentary and various other goodies.

But that's friggin' 3 months away, and I want to see it now! Plus, the November release won't have the theatrical version, so it's best to go to Blockbuster, pay your $25, get LOTR and get a free rental for the next 10 weeks.

You could always watch the yawnfest that is American Idol.
