I feels like there’s an entire class of TV show that people only watch when they go to visit family. One of the ways my dad and I interact when I go home is by watching gearhead marathons. I’ve spent hours and (consecutive) hours watching shows like American Chopper, Street Customs, and Overhaulin’ — series I never watch on my own, but fall into like a beloved habit when I cross my parents’ threshold. I got a sneak peek at what I’ll no doubt be watching over the holidays: the new TLC reality special Family Armor, (premiering Nov. 19) about a large Mormon family in San Antonio who runs Texas Armoring Corporation, a company that custom bullet-proofs vehicles for celebrities, heads of state, and regular old people who’ve got something to fear. So picture lots of explosions, gunfire, and a baby-faced CEO who says things like, “It’s not about Big Love. It’s tough love.”
So, tell me: What are your TV shows that you only watch when you’re with your parents?
Isn’t it sad when one member of a codependent viewing party is ready to move on and the other one isn’t? This week’s must-see episode of FX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (which repeats Saturday at 11 p.m. ET) took a look at that very important issue. At the start of “Mac and Dennis Break Up,” the guys showed up at Dee’s apartment together to borrow a big bowl for their movie night — Predator, yet again. (Mac had to hold the bowl while Dennis stood beside him and made snide comments, they explained.) Dee forced Dennis to second guess the friendship by asking them when the last time was that they went longer than an hour without checking in with each other. “He always checks in with me,” Mac said. “He likes to have me check in,” Dennis answered. Cue the break-up scene, which occurred after Dennis didn’t respond to Mac’s calls or 911 text while he was out not picking up the Predator DVD. (If they’ve watched it 30 times in the last two months, shouldn’t they just buy it?) 
Between Betty doing her best to be fearless with the sexy Adam Rodriguez and—seriously, I’m crying here—everything with Justin and his amazing Homecoming Queen acceptance speech, Ugly Betty had its best episode of the season last night. No question about it. Maybe everyone who’s been so down on the sweet comedy should give it another chance? Well, whether you give it a chance or not (but you should!), enjoy my round up of the best lines, quips, and jabs from last night’s delightful hour:
