I don't preach wrestling very often because I know it's a mindless fixation of mine, but if you're a fan, you should be aware of WWE's MSG CLASSICS (MSG/8 and 9 p.m.). The WWE opens up its massive video vault to put together hourlong presentations of old events at Madison Square Garden. I'm pretty sure these are new episodes, but it's all old content, so it really doesn't matter. Tonight's main events are Hulk Hogan vs. Kamala and Roddy Piper vs. Rick Rude.
Even more obscure is PBS' presentation of the ceremony awarding Paul Simon the inaugural Library of Congress Gershwin Prize (9 p.m.).
Also new: Last Comic Standing and Dateline on NBC; So You Think You Can Dance on Fox; Next Best Thing, American Inventor and Traveler on ABC; two hours of Hidden Palms on CW; Bear Island on PBS; Lil' Bush on Comedy Central; Rescue Me on FX; Top Chef on Bravo; Ghost Hunters and Destination Truth on Sci-Fi; and two episodes of Tyler Perry's House of Payne on TBS.

How is this year's Last Comic Standing? I gave up watching when they gave it to Josh Blue.
In the audition stage, the show is always strong... and somehow it stayed strong even without the Tonight Show guys who used to do the judging. (Yes, even Ant's tolerable.)
That doesn't mean they won't eventually pick cruddy comics sending the show into a downward spiral.
And, ultimately, America's responsible for the winner. So you can't have much confidence in that either.
I still think the show's the best and most interesting of its kind.
Granted, watching a bad comic tell bad jokes is considerably more engaging than watching American Idol churn out another useless pop star.
It's not even really the show's fault that I don't watch it anymore. I suppose you could say that I blame America.
And I don't believe you that Ant is tolerable. Not for one tiny little second.
I'm serious. He's not being purposefully flamboyant and over the top. It's nice.
You're probably missing the season's best episodes at this point...
