'Great American Road Trip'

It's that time of year again. The time you pack up the spouse and kids, hop into the family truckster and head off for one of the most memorable and miserable weeks of your life. It's bad enough living with these people when you're spread out through an entire house, but when you add the close proximity of a vehicle for an extended period of time, such as in Great American Road Trip, airing Mondays on NBC, and the various stresses and smells, there's almost no greater feeling than pulling back into your own driveway. So pack a suitcase, call your friends and neighbors, and pray for lower gas prices because we're throwing a Great American Road Trip party!

Nurses fuel the fantasies of a great number of American men. Well, some nurses. Others fuel nightmares. Jackie Peyton of Nurse Jackie, airing Mondays on Showtime, seems to fall somewhere in the middle. She has the bedside manner of a parole officer and a sense of justice you only hear about when people are running for office. If left up to her, health care reform would happen overnight, paid for by selling organs from the recently deceased to rich old people who want just one more good year. Ethics in her ER seem gray from where we sit -- and that's how we like it. So turn your head and cough; we're throwing a Nurse Jackie party!

Ever look down at your biceps and think, "Wow, that looks so naked. I should have someone with a sharp needle come at me and pump it full of ink until it looks like I have a skeletal hula dancer sharing a Triscuit with a rabid bulldog ... ." Yeah, us, too. And that's why we can't get enough of Tattoo Highway, airing Wednesdays on A&E Network. Come on -- 94 tattoos in 36 days? That's insane. But if you're reading this, Thomas Pendelton, our editor would really love Edvard Munch's The Scream re-created on her lower back. You, too?

Sometimes a new show comes along that seems built for success. That's why we love Warehouse 13, airing Tuesdays on SyFy; it's a little bit X-Files and a little bit National Treasure and a whole lotta fun. And did we mention that this week's episode features former Battlestar Galactica siren Tricia Helfer as a guest star? Well, it does. So channel your inner and outer geeks and send out the invitations; we're throwing a Warehouse 13 party!
