On Becoming a God in Central Florida (via Tumblr)

Hello, Hello, Hello! Tonight concludes the season for AMC's YouTube's Showtime's On Becoming a God in Central Florida, a show I've enjoyed but haven't kept up to date on. How does Kirsten Dunst become a god? She is forced-ish to join a pyramid scheming company in early '90s Florida when she becomes a single mom with a mountain of debt, all of which was caused by said company. Now she is a god! Is she the one friending people on CBS?! Elsewhere, there are some premieres tonight. HBO premieres its highly anticipated Watchmen — personally, I already miss Shiv — and Starz gave Power the week off for its new docuseries Leavenworth. Like every fall Sunday, there are piles and piles of scripted shows, more than can be highlighted by a weekly WOT Top Pick, not to mention the reality and nonfiction options... I might even record the E! True Hollywood Story. You rock the party that rocks the body, so here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, October 21!
