TV Tonight: We Do Our Best. Really.
By Nick Carter
(Thursday, August 24th, 2006) We did our best to find something for you to watch tonight. It’s not an easy job sometimes. Maybe tonight’s a good night to write letters to Discovery demanding they bring back the king of blowing things up fabrication — Jesse James. Or maybe Southern Steel. Anything.
All times are central.

I miss Wingnuts. Kind of formulaic, but still a pretty cool show.
