What’s On TV This Weekend: Friday, November 6th – Sunday, November 8th

Reasons to watch: A group of Renaissance-fair actors want to add a dog to their skitches. This is your best chance of seeing a jester get his nuts bit tonight. You’d be a fool to pass it up.

Reasons to watch: The very funn Paul F. Tompkins hosts the very funny Nick Kroll and a slew of other talented comics. How funny could it be? Think of how mad The Jeff Dunham Show makes you feel. This will make you feel the opposite of that.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7th, 2009
 

Reasons to watch: Bespectacled Brit Elvis Costello croons on the Austin stage. And then local heroes the Band of Heathens wash the taste of England out of our mouths with their Americana jangly geetars.

Reasons to watch: Taylor Swift hosts and performs. We’re all really happy for her.

FAMILY GUY
Network:

Reasons to watch: Peter goes around kicking everyone after watching Road House. I can totally relate. I wore ladies underpants for years after seeing To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar. Aw dammit, diarrhea of the mouth again. Where’s the backspace key on this infernal machine?

Reasons to watch:Break out the chip n’ dip and enjoy an Old Fashioned as you view the third season finale. Once finished, stow your retro 60′s kitsch fancies away in the back of your closet until next season. And then dust off your Dharma Initiative flatware for January’s Lost premiere.
