Tonight at 9p, Law & Order: SVU takes on Daniel Tosh’s unfunny joke about rape and made a whole episode about it. Jonathan Silverman plays a comic, who tours a colleges, and tells the audiences that rape isn’t funny but gang rape is. When a female student speaks up against his jokes, he says wouldn’t it be funny if she got gang raped. So after she leaves the show, two of the male students try to rape her. Luckily she gets away, and she runs to the Special Victims Unit to bring down the comedian for inciting the crime. When the team goes to his comedy show at the same college on the second night, another female in the audience claims that the comedian raped her after the night beforehand’s show. Now they have to prove if he is living his act or her claim is a bad joke as bad as his.
What will they find out about him as they look into his past? You will just have to tune in and see if they get their guy.
Tonight at 10p Legit makes its debut on FXX and you don’t want to miss the show’s second season premiere. Jim Jefferies tries to cut down on his porn habit, but he can’t. Then while he is on Dr Drew’s radio a show, a caller talks about a bad lover she had, and it turns out to be one of Jim’s exes. Confronted with his problems, he decides to go to Sex Addicts Anonymous and guess who is there? Her! Is this enough to cure him? All I will say is that someone does get lucky by the end of the sick and twisted yet very funny episode.
And the episodes only get better as the season go one, let’s just say in one of them they go their high school reunion. And at that reunion one of them will be declared dead…

Tonight at 9p on NBC’s Law & Order: SVU Detective Benson (Mariska Hargitay) comes face to face again with William Lewis (Pablo Schreiber) in court and its like reliving her horrible nightmare when he kidnapped and tortured her all over again.
As much prep as they can give Liv, they still can’t prepare her for what she is about to go to. At first it seems like things will be semi-tame because Lewis has a lawyer; but when he fires her and decides to argue the case for himself things will be so much worse for everyone. He will cross-examine everyone to the point where they are about to crack. And as bad as it is for all of them, it will be so much worse when he confronts Benson on the stand.
The interaction between Hargitay and Lewis is so intense that you can feel it through the TV screens. If these two actors don’t get Emmy nominations for the work they have done together this season, then there is really something wrong with the academy. They take acting to a whole other level when they work together that you can’t help but be impacted by their portrayals of the situations given to them.
Now when it comes to will Lewis finally be convicted for one of the crimes that he has committed, you will just have to tune into this very powerful episode to find out.
Then at 10p switch the dials over to FX to watch Stevie Nicks make her debut on American Horror Story: Coven.
If you thought the last episode of AHS was crazy, it is tame compared to tonight’s deadly episode.
The episode picks up with Marie Laveau (Angela Bassett) and Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange) having tea and talking about what went down at her shop and having a truce between to the covens. Shortly after being welcomed in, Laveau goes to sleep and wakes up to her master, Papa (Lance Redderick), wanting to collect what she owes him. That item due is an innocent soul, so she steals a newborn baby from the hospital.
Meanwhile Fiona is prepping for the new Supreme and since she thinks it is Misty Day (Lily Rabe) she brings her a present. That gift is a fellow witch and Day’s idol, Stevie Nicks. The singer performs for her, gives her tips and a shawl that she has toured the world with. The last thing is something that she will hold very close to her.
While most people think that Day is the next Supreme, Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts) and Nan (Jamie Brewer) both think that they are the next in line for the job. By the end of the night at least one of the candidates will be dead.
Think you know? You don’t, so tune in to watch this shocking episode that sets things up for the season finale.

Law & Order: SVU holds you captive with an intense hour of excellent TV |

Law & Order: SVU ended last season with Benson (Mariska Hargitay) being held at gun point by the recently freed rapist, kidnapper and murderer, William Lewis (Pablo Schreiber), who always seems to get away with his brutal crimes. Well tonight’s season premiere on NBC at 9p picks up a few hours later with Benson tied to chair, duct tape on her mouth and bruises and burns all over her body.
Since she was on a forced two day leave from the unit, no one has checked in on her and her boyfriend, Cassidy (Dean Winters), had to cancel out on her because he had to work a double shift. Well now Cassidy is worried because he hasn’t heard from her, so he goes to check to see if anyone at SVU has. Captain Donald Cragen (Dann Florek) is afraid that she might’ve gone down one of her “rabbit holes”, so he asks Fin (Ice-T) and Rollins (Kelli Giddish) to check on her because it has been 35 hours since they have heard from her. When they get there; they find her apartment has been ransacked and realize Lewis has her and attacked her.
Now they are all looking for Benson, knowing time is of the essence with him. No matter how good their clues are they keep hitting dead ends and that means even more time she is alone with this psychopath.
As they search for her, we witness what torture he puts her through over and over again. We know she will never be the same, but is that as bad as it is going to get for her?
In this one hour of excellent television, we will feel everyone’s emotions; Benson’s pain and will to live, Lewis’ torment, craziness and anger, and all of the detectives desperation as they try to find her but keep coming up empty handed time and time again.
Then there is a moment that will bring back the feeling you had when Edith hit her would be rapist in the face with a burnt pan on All in the Family. Does that mean she breaks free? You don’t want to know, you just want to follow every moment as it happens. That’s because Mariska Hargitay delivers an Emmy winning performance tonight. I can’t remember the last time when I saw an actress pour her heart and soul into an episode like she did. It is her portrayal that will leave you drained because it is so powerful. She will amaze you so much that you will get off the couch to give her a standing ovation when the episode ends. One that is very much deserved.
But tonight’s episode isn’t only about her, mostly, but not all. Pablo Schreiber proves that he is one to watch with or without a pornstache.
And if you have the energy to watch another Law & Order: SVU episode after this one, then NBC has one waiting to entertain you.
Before we get to SVU, Revolution is back on a new night and time. The episode picks up 6 months after the bombs went off and we see the toll it is taking on all of them. They each take it differently and Revolution is not the show we knew last season. It will be interesting to see how the changes will effect the drama because it is drastically different. I don’t want to say too much because a lot of what I could tell is very spoilerish and I am sure you don’t want that.
