New York TV Week in Review
by Corina Zappia
SUNDAY
On The Simpsons Halloween episode, Homer swallows green goo from outerspace; eats Dr. Phil, who tastes like Jeffrey Tambor.
On Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken, Mario and Luigi take a detour away from Super Mario Bros. land and into Grand Theft Auto’s Vice City; mistake a $50-a-trick hooker for The Princess.
MONDAY
On Heroes Peter informs a rich old dying dude that he can fly. Dying dude croaks 30 TV-seconds later.
TUESDAY
Election night. Colbert concedes defeat, with a Congrats Terrorists cake that “tastes like surrender.”
WEDNESDAY
The morning after Election Night. Unless you live under a rock, I think you know the news here.
On Top Model, what might weigh in as the stupidest challenge ever has contestants chase after a giant compact of Cover Girl Tru-Blend.
THURSDAY
On Grey’s Anatomy, the male doctors go on a bonding/hunting expedition, but end up having to Macgyver a surgery in the woods. Put to the test: Dr. “Friend to Gays” Burke.
