With fictional storytelling usually just a straight shot to disappointment, we're offering a slate of everything nonfictional television can offer - from cat-related docs to interventions to breast-related pageants. This is why couches are comfy.

WATCH

Cat Dancers [8 PM, HBO] - Even the most documentary-avoiding television watchers (ErrolMorrisophobics) can get behind this story about a three person exotic animals act. All the members were lovers and two of the three were murdered by their Bengal tiger within five weeks of each other. We won't tell which two were murdered, nor will we confirm any white tiger reach around's.

Drama High: The Making of a High School Musical [9 PM, ABC] - Too bad this has nothing to do with the real HSM, or we would already be popping the popcorn and getting in our Corbin Bleu jammies. This 20/20 special follows mostly white Virginia high school students and their parents as they audition for their production of The Wiz. Will there be drama? Of course. Crying? Check. Awkward parking lot finger-banging between a boy and girl who will each come out of the closet three years later? Only if they want it to be accurate.

TiVo

Stanley Kubrick's Boxes [9 PM, Sundance] - Jon Ronson goes through the ridiculously talented director's extensive archives that he kept over the last three decades of his working life. If you want to watch a grainy version at your desk right now, check it out here.

Intervention [9 PM, A&E] - This series is impossible to watch without a pause button. In the season six premiere, a middle-aged woman named Janet is confronted about her alcohol addiction. Just like the scary parts of Jaws, even though we have seen this scenario a million times, we still find ourselves having to work up enough courage to move forward. As noted before, the only way we can feel worse about ourselves is by watching the problems of others.

KILL

Nightline [11:35 PM, ABC] - Tonight's interview with Dick Cheney will likely lose the audience from the high school theater special, but there are worse things in the world. It will also remind everyone that even if Obama stands on the roof of the White House shooting t-shirt vendors with a bazooka, it will still be a net improvement over the current administration.

Best Damn Swimsuit Pageant [11 PM, FSN] - This is a rerun, but it is fun to flip through the other 11 PM offerings - news, SportsCenter, Daily Show, Charlie Rose - and land on the 2008 Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant. It's the least pretentious offering in that timeslot tonight, unless Nick at Night throws Mama's Family in at the last minute.
