Having grown up without cable, we are used to a large amount of censorship in our televised movies, but nothing compares to the bleach job AMC does on the classics. It's pretty flunked up.

WATCH

Casino [8 PM, AMC] - We're just as Scorsese-obsessed as the next table over at House of Pies, but the reason you should watch this sprawling yet claustrophobic opus based on some real life Las Vegas gangsta shit is the way AMC presents it. Just the sheer awkwardness involved in censoring hundreds of uses of the f-word and various other profanity constructions makes it almost campy, but also highlights the desperation of the characters, who can't even express their predicaments with the correct words.

Degrassi In Ecuador [9 PM, The N] - Degrassi: The Next Generation castmates help a farming community in Ecuador by restoring a schoolhouse and installing a water filtration system in this special. This could be Degrassi's edgiest episode yet. Forget abortion and peer pressure, expecting actors to make a difference in a South American community is almost too crazy to imagine.

TiVo

I Am My Own Twin [8 PM, Discovery Health] - This is kryptonite, on the realz. On Monday, we were two hours late for crashing our friend's company holiday party because we got sucked into the DH medical oddities vortex. Tonight, we will be TiVoing this show about the conditions that cause babies to be born fused together, in a vain attempt to leave the apartment.

Beer For My Horses [9 PM, CMT] - Not only is this a Toby Keith vehicle, but a cool monster truck is one of the better characters in this ode to backwoods renegade justice. There are some great featured guests (Willie Nelson, Ted Nugent) and solid supporting performances by comedy musician Rodney Carrington and Claire Forlani (!). There's a kidnapping and shooting and hollering and Mexicans, pretty boilerplate as country & western cultural events go.

KILL

The Family Stone [9 PM, FX] - Oh, Dermot, Dermot, Dermot. Why didn't you just let Edward Burns take the role of the brother (Mulroney) who has to bring his fiance (Sarah Jessica Parker) to his crazy weedhead family's holiday festivities. From the Marley & Me-esque ending to SJP trying to be straight-laced and disturbed by everything these hippies do, it's a disappointment across the board. We are especially mad because the use of Jefferson Starship's "Count On Me" over the end credits ruined that song forever. Look at that cast, this should be so much better.
