Six Feet Under celebrates Christmas in July in a most depressing fashion
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Tuesday, July 24. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Six Feet Under (1 p.m.): Break out the inflatable Santas, the unbeatable-deal-signaling sleigh bells, and the festive “Discount embalming” fliers: It’s “The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year”: The one-year anniversary of Nathaniel Fisher’s death! But also Christmas! Which was when Nathaniel Fisher was hit by a bus! John Teti awaits the feel-good hit of the holiday season.
REGULAR COVERAGE
MasterChef (Fox, 9 p.m.): Oh, if only Phil Dyess-Nugent were in Los Angeles for the Television Critics Association Press Tour, he could’ve had the pleasure of hearing Gordon Ramsay say that he only yells on certain shows. MasterChef would be one of those shows.
White Collar (USA, 9 p.m.): The case of the week involves a particularly slippery crook who’s a thorn in the FBI’s side. Maybe he’ll be just as charming as Matt Bomer and worthy of his own spinoff, giving Kenny Herzog twice the White Collar capers to review in a given week.
Frontline (10 p.m.): “What’s open-pit mining?” you might say. To get your answer, you can check out these terrifying, “hole in the Earth” satellite photos of the chasms created by open-pit mining, or you can fall down (and down and down and down and down) the rabbit hole with Meredith Blake and Frontline.
Workaholics (Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m.): The guys play private eye in order to help a coworker who suspects his wife of stepping out on him. Kevin McFarland is watching you [Clap clap.] Workaholics. He sees your every move, baby.
