(Make sure to check out TV Envy’s Programming Schedule.)
MONDAY (7/6)
- Make it or Break It (ABC Family, 8pm): “Trying to unwind, Payson, Emily and Kaylie head to a high-school party, but the evening isn’t as fun as they thought it would be.” They were lead to believe that ‘keg stands’ were an entirely different thing.”
- The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm): “Jillian and her final four head to Spain for flamenco in Madrid and a picnic in Seville.” Their plans are interrupted when Javier Bardem asks her to fly away from the weekend.
- Here Comes the Newlyweds (ABC, 10pm): “The three remaining couples gaze into their futures by speculating on their 10th anniversaries.” Reality show pairs should only focus on making it to next year.
- Weeds (Showtime, 10pm): “Silas and Doug are off to see ‘The Wizard,’ a marijuana provider whom they need to supply cannabis for their dispensary.” This wizard can help fly people home, or wherever else they’d like to ‘travel’ to.

MONDAY (6/15)
- Greek (ABC Family, 8pm): Season finale. “Casey struggles with conflicting feelings she has for Max and Cappie.” Given how nauseating “Casey and Cappie” sounds, I’d think the obvious choice would be Max.
- The Closer (TNT, 9pm): “Brenda snoops into the abduction of a greedy financier being investigated for investment fraud, but she soon suspects that he may have staged the kidnapping.” Later, it’s discovered the investor was less than six degrees way from Kevin Bacon.
- Raising the Bar (TNT, 10pm): “Michelle then falls for a sightly cop who may be committing perjury.” So much for making him swear on the Bible before the first date.
- Here Comes the Newlyweds (ABC, 10pm): “The husbands try to guess what their wives think are their shortcomings when it comes to intimacy.” It’s not that they don’t already know—it’s just that they forgot.

Monday Ratings: ABC Wilts Next to CBS Repeats
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, House, Medium, Ratings,
Reality hit ABC’s reality programs yesterday evening. Without the help of Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelorette was just another dating show. CBS’ repeat-filled lineup was actually the victor in both the viewers and the demos last night.
8pm
- Dateline (1.6/5 in 18-49) took in 7.1 million.
- The Bachelorette (6 million, 2.1/6) was off 2.9 million from last week.
- The Big Bang Theory* (1.9/6) picked up 6 million; How I Met Your Mother* (1.8/5) roped up 5.4 million,
- House* (1.5/5) treated 4.7 million.
- One Tree Hill* (0.4/1) settled for 1.3 million.

Shows Planning a Return in 2009
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Bravo, CBS, FX, HBO, Entourage, Renewals,
While it’s probably be safe to assume that Fringe and 90210 would both be handed 2009 renewal notices - especially since they’ve already been given full season orders - this television season is still far too young.
Here is, though, what we do know already about next year’s programming calendar:
- Big Brother (CBS) - Season 11
- Entourage (HBO) - Season 6
- Flashpoint (CBS) - Season 2
- Here Come the Newlyweds (ABC) - Season 2
- Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (Bravo) - Season 5
- My Boys (TBS) - Season 3
- Sons of Anarchy (FX) - Season 2
- True Blood (HBO) - Season 2
Sunday Ratings: Tight Contest Between CBS, ABC
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Everybody Hates Chris, Family Guy, Ratings,
Thanks to a basketball overrun earlier in the evening, CBS was able to place first last night with the viewers. However, ABC still put up a good fight and came away with the demos.
8pm
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (12.8 million, 4.5/11 in 18-49) built itself a larger audience than last week.
- Big Brother (8 million, 2.7/7) slid by approximately 2.3 million.
- The Simpsons (7.1 million, 3.4/9) and King of the Hill (6 million, 2.7/7) both did nearly twice as well as their last outing.
- Dateline (6.7 million, 1.7/4) was up about 600,000.
- Everybody Hates Chris (1.3 million, 0.5/1) and Aliens in America* (990,000, 0.3/1) also saw increases.

This Week on TV (3/17-3/23)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Dancing With The Stars, Lost, Survivor, The Bachelor,
(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)
MONDAY (3/17)
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Tonight’s Season 6 premiere focuses only on the men. I think it’s safe to say Julianne Hough won’t be making it a three-peat with Adam Carolla.
- The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8pm): New episode. “Sheldon and Leonard are asked to a physics conference to present their work together.” I’ve always wondered - if this show were to air on any other day, would it be half as successful?
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): New episode. “Ted decides to live life like Barney on St. Patrick’s Day.” You don’t want to know what they use as their lucky charms.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): New episode. “Charlie teaches Alan how to break up with a woman.” I hear hiring prostitutes can make a woman leave you.
- The Bachelor (ABC, 9:30): Season 12 premiere. “Bachelor Matt Grant, a 27-year-old British financier, meets his 25 would-be soul mates.” Apparently in America, you can finally afford to woo twice as many women as you can in the UK.
