For the first time in quite a while, it appears we may have had more original episodes on TV last night than repeats. Although CBS’ comedy lineup saw strong numbers, it couldn’t outmatch the debut of Dancing with the Stars. ABC ended up winning the evening in the viewers and demos.

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.

Jonah Hill’s Intimate Moment with Andy Samberg’s Dad
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
If you didn’t catch last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live, you missed a very uncomfortable scene with guest star Jonah Hill (Superbad) and Andy Samberg’s ‘father’.
This clip definitely rivals anything we’ve seen between Jimmy Kimmel and Ben Affleck.

Although she may be loved in indie films, Parker Posey is apparently not a star on the small screen. The premiere of her new show was a disappointment for FOX’s Friday.
