TV Junkie: Wednesday

"Maude" in tights? According to The Hollywood Reporter, our good friend Norman Lear, creator of the aforementioned "Maude" (which is a damn good show, please bring it back TVLand!), "All in the Family", "The Jeffersons" and "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," has teamed up with HBO for a series set in the world of 1970s pro wrestling. The show will be a drama (what a shame) entitled "Everybody Hurts" (funny!). Whatever the format, Lear is the consummate show creator and we're dying to see the results.

The TV Junkie plan for tonight: "ANTM" (because the girls will become LA disasters); "Project Runway" (can't get enough models tonight, no wait, I mean "fashion"); "Sons of Anarchy" (the anti-fashion show); Kimmel; Conan (to see Louis CK!!!)
