MONDAY (5/3)
- Romantically Challenged (ABC, 9:30): “Shawn romances Lisa’s friend Vanessa because her cable system carries the hockey championship games and his doesn’t.” She didn’t realize what type of scoring he had in mind.
- Castle (ABC, 10pm): “Beckett and Castle investigate the death of a big-name chef found frozen in a restaurant’s kitchen.” This would not be a good time to be The Naked Chef.
- Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood (Oxygen, 10pm): “Tori and Dean’s relationship is tested after uneasy rider Dean takes a spill on the motorcycle racetrack, landing him in the hospital. The accident leaves the couple conflicted—until Dean issues an apology.” The one who should apologize is the one the audience cares about the least.

Schedule Changes: Harper’s, Chopping Block and Sit Down, Shut Up
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, CBS, FOX, NBC,
Could this be the slow death of a murder mystery? After only three weeks in a high profile time slot, Harper’s Island is getting a new home. (Was it because it was getting slaughtered in the ratings?) The series - which only had 13 episodes to begin with - is now being pushed to Saturdays @ 9:00 effective immediately. Repeats will fill the new Thursday hole for the next two weeks.
Fans of FOX’s Sunday animation lineup will also see a change this weekend. A two-week trial run of Sit Down, Shut Up has earned the comedy an earlier time slot. The freshman program will now air at 7:00 right before a repeat of American Dad. Original episodes of King of the Hill will then take over the 8:30 slot.
