I don't think we'll ever see Countdown With Keith Olbermann on NBC again. Conversely, I have no idea why Friday's Dateline NBC did so well.
THIS WEEK IN TV
First off, The CW is moving stuff around. One Tree Hill moves off of Tuesdays this week, and returns on Mondays on April 7th. Reaper then moves from Thursdays to Tuesdays to take over OTH's old slot. Taking over Reaper's old slot on Thursdays is Supernatural, which hasn't had an episode air (rerun or not) since February 21st.
MONDAY-I'm tired of writing all the same stuff every week, so I'm going to do this differently. I'd like to hear your opinion on it though. All the same stuff that was new last week is new this week. So that's everything new except Gossip Girl and House. Interesting (to me) note about Pussycat Dolls Presents: it's the "last episode", the recap show, even though it's airing as the 7th episode out of 10.
TUESDAY-ABC's got a news special, Live to be 150...Can You Do It? (short answer...no) taking over for where Primetime: What Would You Do? was last week. FOX sees the premiere of the new season of Hell's Kitchen. Just For Laughs returns after having a week off. A special episode of CSI: Miami airs where Jericho was last week. NCIS, Law & Order:SVU, and Reaper are reruns.
WEDNESDAY-The Moment of Truth has its spring finale tonight. It returns in June with the other 15 episodes of its first season. Criminal Minds and CSI: NY return with new episodes tonight. CSI: NY has 7 new episodes, Criminal Minds has 8 new episodes.
THURSDAY-Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? is a special 2-hour episode, so that means no Don't Forget the Lyrics this week. Miss Guided has two new episodes, with the second one being the season finale. The ratings are kind of below renewal, but who knows? CSI and Without A Trace, meanwhile, return from the strike tonight. NBC's lineup is all different with Celebrity Apprentice and Thursday's Deal or No Deal over. Replacing it this week is the return of My Name Is Earl with a special 1-hour episode. You may recall that when we last left off of MNIE, he (and apparently his new love interest) had both gotten hit by a car. This is followed by the last 4 pre-strike episodes of The Office. If you need a refresher of what was happening on The Office, this is a good way to get caught up in time for next week's post-strike episode airs.
FRIDAY is all different, so let's go back to the old format to explain it all. ABC's got the 2nd season premiere of Duel paired up with a new 20/20. Duel, you may recall, is the game show hosted by ESPN's Mike Greenberg. The first season aired on consecutive nights from December 17th to December 23rd. This time the show is going to air normally with one episode a week on Friday nights (though the season is once again only 5 episodes). CBS has the return of Ghost Whisperer and Numb3rs along with a new The Price is Right Million Dollar Spectacular. The Price is Right will air on Friday next week as well, and then move to Wednesdays starting April 30th. The CW, FOX, and NBC have nothing new going on.
SATURDAY-ABC starts airing movies on Saturday nights. This week's movie is Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. Did you know in other English-speaking countries it was called Harry Potter and the Philosopher'sStone. This is because during the middle ages, alchemy was also known as philosophy, and a philosopher's stone would be the substance that could that they believed could change elements into gold or silver. CBS has NCAA Basketball Tournament Final 4 coverage. The CW airs Armed and Dangerous, a 1986 comedy starring the late John Candy and a pre-American Pie Eugene Levy. On Fox Cops is a repeat (20th Anniversary Show) but America's Most Wanted is new. And NBC is all Law & Order reruns.
SUNDAY-Starting this week on NBC, you can see edited for broadcast versions of USA Network shows Monk and Psych. On FOX, the only new showing airing is a new King of the Hill. My notes said that Family Guy was supposed to return this week, but they've bumped it back to at least April 27th. All the normal shows air on ABC, but it's worth noting that this is the finale of Here Come the Newlyweds. That means that Desperate Housewives comes back the following week (Sunday the 13th).| Promote this thread! | |
