On Tonight: Alcatraz, Fashion Police and Bizarre Foods America

What are you watching on Monday?

Monday, Jan. 30

Alcatraz, 9 p.m., ABC

This is very Lost-like but I don’t necessarily mean that as a criticism, since I always loved the way that Lost manipulated me with its use of music, cliff-hanger commercial breaks, and people running madly in different directions. Also, creepy noises from around a corner. I like too that each episode is focusing on one convict – gives us focus within the larger “mythology” that is taking shape. My only criticism is the Sam Neill talks with marbles in his mouth.

Tonight, New Orleans. And I will tell you that no matter how drunk I was in New Orleans, I never, ever sucked on a crawfish head. In case you were wondering.
