TV Tonight: Just A Terrible Idea

(TV Tonight, Thursday, June 11th, 2009)  We’re having trouble adequately expressing how horrible the American Chopper meets Jon & Kate +8 episode will be, but it’ll likely be worse than we can even imagine. Thankfully there’s a new episode of World’s Toughest Fixes you can watch instead. We also get two new episodes of Wrecked.
