Friday TV Hot List

On Showtime’s comedy special, Margaret Cho: Beautiful, the incredibly sweet, charismatic and totally tattooed Cho takes on the importance society has put on being “beautiful,” and all that goes with it. And for fans out there who might be wondering, yes, she still impersonates her mom!

The dysfunctional, liberal do-gooders, The Goode Family are at it again! Bliss decides to beautify her community by getting a gig cleaning up graffiti, but when there’s no more graffiti to clean, her mom Helen starts tagging just to keep her in business! A la Basquiat, her tagging becomes a sensation and is even declared the work of a new urban artist by an Oxford professor (voiced by Elvis Costello).

And get ready Sci-Fi lovers, this weekend is all about YOU! The SCI FI Channel launches a weekend long Twilight Zone marathon, with more strange, creepy and macabre stories than your brain can possibly handle! My marathon tip… turn on the tube starting at 5 PM and just keep it locked! That’s when the original, bad-ass 1950s-1960’s episodes begin to air… and for any respectable sci-fier, this library absolutely  must be logged into your mental rolodex of “seen it!”

Notable mentions… Lost’s Matthew Fox on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.
