TV Junkie: Tuesday

America's Got TalentLooks like big media service companies aren't immune to the temptation of outsourcing their workforce - the most recent case is the media metrics leader, Nielsen Co. After taking millions of dollars in tax breaks for promising jobs at a Florida data center, Nielsen has outsourced the positions to an Indian-based offshore provider - makes one respect the numbers Nielsen spews out even less.

8:00pm Wipeout ABC - This is only listed here because you told the TV Junkie that you like to watch people hurt themselves.

8:00pm Big Brother CBS - Season Premiere (Tuesday edition).

9:00pm Hurl! G4 - Series Premiere. As profiled in TV Junkie earlier this month, this is the show where the contestants pig out and then are "stressed" until they puke/hurl. Since LAist readers have stated a preference for "Wipeout", this is another in the genre.

9:00pm America's Got Talent NBC - Who advances to the "Vegas Callbacks"?

9:00pm Deadliest Catch DISCOVERY - Season Finale

10:00pm Flipping Out BRAVO - Jeff must decide if, after so many chances, he must finally fire Chris Elwood.

10:00pm From G's to Gents MTV - Series Premiere

10:00pm The Cleaner A&E - Series Premiere. Yet another basic cable drama with religious overtones.

11:35pm The Late Show With David Letterman CBS - Actress Meryl Streep; actor Aaron Eckhart; Randy Travis performs.

12:05am Jimmy Kimmel LIVE ABC - Actor Andy Samberg; actress Minnie Driver; Shwayze performs. One wonders if Kimmel will mention his breakup with Sarah Silverman.

That show hurts to watch... (wipeout). And not from laughing.... so bad.

that photo goes hand in hand with my column this week

*insert happy emoticon here*

I caught a bit of Hurl on my way out of work tonight.... Wow.

Eat as much as you can, then get thrown in a hamster ball?

Whenever I check the cable at work for something to watch, I flip through 500 channels... nothing is on.

Reminds me of why I don't have cable, or even rabbit ears on my tv.
