JPTV: What I'm Watching Tonight

8 p.m.: Friday Night Lights (The Knights of Prosperity–new time slot, at 8:30–probably goes into TiVo reserve.)
9 p.m.: Probably American Idol. No, I’m better than that! I’ll read an improving book! I’ll watch The Supreme Court on PBS! (Actually, I already did. Good overview, lots of talking heads, less interesting the closer the timeline gets to the present.) No, probably American Idol.
10 p.m.: Top Chef, though I’ve been so not into it this season. In Slate, Sara Dickerman, who actually knows something about cooking in restaurants, flicks at the idea that Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen is actually a more realistic depiction of working on the line. Um, what she said.
