We can't wait for season five!......

What's creepy and interesting on TV this week. Horror Movies (All week, various channels) - If you're looking for something scary to watch to get you in the holiday spirit, AMC has you covered; they're playing classic and contemporary horror movies pretty much all day, every day, Monday through Wednesday. The Sci-Fi Channel is joining in with similar fare most of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and TCM and FX have some good stuff......

Tonight’s the night. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns to FX at 10 pm. You know that space between what’s funny and what’s socially inappropriate/totally taboo? Always Sunny locates that space and settles in for the long haul. It’s a guilty pleasure in the literal sense: the more we laugh, the guiltier we feel, because the heartiest laughs on this show come from subjects we’re supposed to take seriously, like homelessness, neglect, environmental concerns,......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. What Perez Says About the VMAs (Tue, 9PM-10PM, VH1) - Everyone's favorite internet celebrity gossip master turns his wit upon MTV's Video Music Awards. Moving from the internet to TV seems like a backwards step to us. Although of course we wouldn't turn down the offer of a Phillyist TV show if somebody wanted to help us make one... P.O.V. (Tue, 10PM-11:30PM, PBS [WHYY]) - The film......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Road Tasted (Tue, 9:30PM-10PM, Food Network) - Guess where Road Tasted is going this week? That's right, our very own Philadelphia! They'll be sampling cheesesteaks at Campo's Deli (uh, what about Pat's or Geno's??) and sweets at Franklin Fountain, amongst other things. Lil' Bush (Wed, 10:30PM-11PM, Comedy Central) - This is the debut episode of a new animated series following the adventures of a prepubescent version of......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. The Shield (Tue, 10PM-11:10PM, FX) - The sixth season of this popular cop show starts off with a flurry activity, as Claudette assigns the team to a fire at a methadone clinic because she wants Vic off the case of Lem's murder. She always tells Vic the brass wants him to retire. Meanwhile, there are confrontations, erratic behavior, a robbery at a porn shop, and a crime......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. The Riches (Mon, 10PM-11PM, FX) - The pilot episode of a new show featuring Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver as a couple of gypsies who decide to steal the identities - and the palatial estate - of a rich couple they killed by accident on a deserted road. But they've also stolen money from their gypsy clan, which means the leader is after them. Interesting concept, and......

What's interesting on TV this week. Great Performances (Tue; 9:30PM-10:30PM; WHYY) - Bruuuuuuuuuuuce! Yep, Tuesday's episode of Great Performances is the Boss doing the Seeger Sessions classic folk tunes from his new album live at St. Luke's in London. (Official site) Philadelphia's 4th of July Celebration (Tue; 7PM-11PM; ABC) - Dave Roberts and Cecily Tynan of ABC are covering the usual festivities. It all starts with a parade along Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and winds up......

Nova (Tue; 8PM-9PM; PBS) - This week the venerable television institution covers the DARPA Grand Challenge, a race of unmanned robotic vehicles that's taken place the last couple of years in the Mojave desert. The show covers the 2004 event (in which there were no winners, as no vehicle got anywhere near the finish line in the time allowed), as well as the prep work for the 2005 event. We hope it also covers the......

What's fun and/or interesting on TV this week: 24 (Mon; 8-10PM; FOX): "24" fans will get two full, all-new hours of the show this week, and X-Men fans should be aware that some time in those two hours (we suspect right near the end, but don't quote us on that), the new trailer for X-Men 3 will premier. Exciting stuff! (Official site) I Love Toys (Mon; 10PM; VH1): VH1 debuts another entry in the genre......

Last week, one of Philly's obscure attractions was featured on the History Channel-- and we missed it! Thankfully for us, Weird U.S.'s trip to the Mutter Museum is being replayed tonight, twice. According to the History Channel's site: Based on the best-selling book of the same name, Weird U.S. is a deliciously demented weekly tour of offbeat American history. Host/authors Mark Sceurman and Mark Moran scour the country in search of the bizarre, the......

Last night, FX premiered its new comedy line-up: Starved, followed by It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Starved highlights four neurotic New Yorkers-- kind of like Seinfeld, except darker, raunchier, and filmed like an indie movie. Starved is different from your average sitcom not only in the way it is filmed, but also in its level of crassness. It's not for the faint of heart: this episode included frank sexual scenes, obscured nudity, and not-at-all......

With an endless sea of summer reruns and reality drivel, there's only one night to be watching TV this week. FX is once again trying its hand at comedy with two new series: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Starved (pictured at left). While Starved looks mildly interesting, how could we possibly resist It's Always Sunny when (a) It's got Philadelphia right in the title and b) It looks like it might actually be funny?......
