Queerview television guide for August 14

Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (Bravo) 10:00 PM EDT
This is why I love this show and why it deserves a bunch of Emmys. In tonight's seaon finale, Kathy goes to visit our soldiers who are recovering at Walter Reed Army Hospital from horrible injuries. I can appreciate Kathy's ability to snark but I think she's really amazing in these serious episodes (like last season's prison visit and her visit to Iraq in season two) and is able to show how humor is an important part of our lives, one that helps us overcome all sorts of hurdles.

Reality Strikes Back (Comedy Central) 10:30 PM EDT
If you haven't been watching Comedy Central's reality TV parody show, I can't blame you because the ads make it look like a show even Michael Ian Black couldn't save. However, this show is so much better than the promos would have you believe. Since tonight's Olympics/talent competition mash-up, "So You Think You Can Dive", brings Greg Louganis back to our TV screens (and, might I add, the man still has it), it's a good time to check it out.
