So You Think You Can Dance is down to the final six.

News

Bob Barker is disappointed he wasn't invited to be a part of yesterday's anniversary celebration for The Price is Right. However, it sounds like he's more disappointed that the show has givenaway trips to locations like Calgary Stampede and SeaWorld, with their animal mistreatment controversies.

NBC is turning to Justified and Boomtown producer Graham Yost for a period espionage drama. L.A. Woman follows a female spy in the 1970s. I am programing my series recording now.

Breaking Bad fans, I present to you the saddest parody Twitter account I've ever seen. For now, at least.

ABC has picked up a few interesting series including a workplace drama from Awake creator Kyle Killen and a soap about the family of a missing woman who find that they're not just facing a family crisis but that they're also thrown into a police investigation and a media circus.

Here's something else for you Breaking Bad fans, an infographic covering the series' deaths.

TBS has ordered a second season of Sullivan and Sons.

The mid-season finale of Breaking Bad didn't beat the penultimate episode's series high, but it did improve on the fourth-season finale by 47 percent. I think that means AMC better start spin-off discussions.

Last week, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report beat the news networks among viewers 18-34. However, the comparison is looking at the 11PM time slot. By then most of the action had happened.

On the other hand, A&E's remake of Coma flopped drawing 1.8 million viewers. For comparison, two years ago, The Andromeda Strain found an audience of 4.8 million.

Listings

Joy Behar: Say Anything (Current) 6:00 PM ET
I forgot to include the premiere of Joy Behar's new show in yesterday's listings (I'll just say that making berry parfait and bell pepper slaw for a Labor Day party is far more taxing than expected as my excuse) so I'll mention it here. The first episode showed some solid potential and I know she's got some great guests scheduled for the first few weeks.

Attack of the Show (G4) 7:00 PM ET
John Barrowman continues his guest hosting duties tonight (and through Friday). Last night he impersonated Tom Cruise's sexy Risky Business pantsless dance moves. (Reason enough to tune in.) But he also gave a very nice explanation and shoutout for our Ultimate Slash Madness Tourney - and campaigned for votes. So go vote for Captain Jack and Doctor Who in Bracket 8.

So You Think You Can Dance (Fox) 8:00 PM ET
The final six perform tonight with a performance by the AXIS Dance Company to break things up.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Comedy Central) 11:00 PM ET
Tonight's Jon is talking with Senator Kristen Gillibrand, who has been a strong fighter for GLBT issues since becoming a Senator.

Jimmy Kimmel Live (ABC) 12:35 AM ET
In a well-timed bit of scheduling, Bob Newhart is on tonight's guest list. I'm sure Jimmy will ask how it felt to see Clint Eastwood perform one of his routines.

Jimmy Kimmel Live (ABC) 12:35 AM ET
The unfiltered Ellen Barkin will be talking with Jimmy tonight and we're keeping our fingers crossed she has some choice words for that group of Moms Who Can't Count and skittish TV stations in Utah.

What will you be watching tonight? Please share in the comments!

Tomorrow's Preview

Days of Our Lives (NBC) Check local listings
Things are finally getting back to Will tomorrow, so get yourself ready for a liveblog!

The 2012 Video Music Awards (MTV) 8:00 PM ET
The big show is starting early this year, as not to get in the way of President Obama's speech, but that just means I have to wait one hour less to see Psy perform. He's going to perform "Gangnam Style" right?
