What I'll Be Watching, July 12
8 pm: Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America
Missing a softer side of Chef Ramsay? Catch the launch of the third season of the original UK Kitchen Nightmares before FOX launches an American-scented one this fall. On tonight's installment ("La Parra de Burriana"), Gordon heads to Spain's Costa del Sol where he tangles with a 26 year-old ex-nightclub manager turned restaurateur who is more than a little resistant to change.
9 pm: The Office
On tonight's repeat episode ("The Convention"), Michael, Dwight and Jan attend a convention in Philadelphia where Michael attempts to organize a rather sad party in his hotel room, leading to a reunion of sorts.
9:30 pm: 30 Rock
It's Televisionary's favorite new comedy from last season and one of my favorite episodes tonight. On tonight's repeat installment ("Black Tie"), Liz joins Jack at a birthday party for a foreign prince (Paul Reubens); Jack's ex-wife (Isabella Rossellini) shows up; and Tracy tempts Pete with a kegger at the office. Classic.
10 pm: The Office
It's a bonus repeat episode of The Office, "The Injury," in which Michael injures his foot on a George Foreman grill and disrupts the entire office, while Dwight has a personality change from a car accident. Easily still my favorite episode of the series.
