The Remote Patrol for Friday, February 6, 2009 by Thomas Allen Heald, All times Eastern, for PBS programs, check local listings
8 p.m. GENERIC SITCOM CLICHES #47 & #91 Jr. needs to learn how to defend himself from the school bully while Dad misinterprets a phone bill and thinks mom is hacing an affair on "EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS" (CW). 9 p.m. Tonight's "FLASHPOINT" (CBS) sniper is a second generation shooter. Which means, daddy was a rifle, and he's a sonuvagun. "MONK" (USA) gets hired by his schoolyard bully. Awwwwwkward! TELE-GEBRA "Dynasty" + smaller shoulder pads "JOCKEYS" (Animal Planet). And what better show for this channel than one with owners whipping and drugging their animals, eh? 10 p.m. Gus and shown attempt to prove a broken clock can be accurate at least three times a day on "PSYCH" (USA). PRETEND IT'S SWEEPS The King of Jordan finds his Air Jordans are missing, as Eve falls upon "NUMB3RS" (CBS) 11:30 p.m. JUST BECAUSE MARK EVANIER KEEPS TABS ON IT The (Best Music) Oscar Nominee "Li'l Abner" (TCM). TALK SHOW DEATHMATCH David babysits Dakota Fanning; Jay is frosty with Frank Langella; Conan rings Kristen Bell and Franz Ferdinand; Carson catches the Cure; Jimmy is desperate for Teri Hatcher; Tavis thinks Ashford & Simpson are solid; and Chelsea walks funny with John Cleese and Perez Hilton. TONIGHT'S WINNER : Chelsea Handler, yeah, I know. QUESTIONABLE ANSWER It's a Thursday night in February 1998, which show is not currently on NBC's Must-See TV lineup? The current shows are ... "Friends," "Just Shoot Me," "Seinfeld," and "Veronica's Closet" followed by "E.R.." Once "Seinfeld" finally implodes, "Must See Tuesday's" "Frasier" and "Will and Grace" will help anchor the sinking sitcom ship.
