(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)
MONDAY (3/10)
- The Bachelor: Where Are They Now? (ABC, 8pm): “Highlights from past seasons include segments catching up with past bachelors (Andrew Firestone and Aaron Buerge) and former contestants.” So the whole point of the show is to say there is no point to this show. Look at how successful it’s been!
- Canterbury’s Law (FOX, 8pm): Series premiere. “Julianna Margulies stars as a maverick defense lawyer who plays by her own rules to help the falsely accused.” I’m guessing ER will still be on long after this program goes off the air.
- New Amsterdam (FOX, 9pm): Regular day and time. If you didn’t watch last Tuesday or Thursday, I’m sure you won’t tonight either.
- October Road (ABC, 9pm): Special time. In the season (series?) finale, “Eddie’s ex-girlfriend shows up to reconnect with him, causing problems in his relationship with Janet.” Since we may never get a satisfactory resolution from this ratings-starved show, let’s just pretend Janet kicks her ass.

My Name is Earl Welcomes….Paris Hilton
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, NBC, My Name Is Earl, Gossip,
I never thought I’d see the day when a perfectly good comedy wastes its time on celebutante trash. Unfortunately, this news is real: Paris Hilton will guest star on an episode of My Name is Earl.
Granted, there was a time when Tara Reid was seen roaming the halls of Scrubs—but I actually believe that was during her less skanky period.
The show’s creator confirmed that Hilton will be featured in one of Earl’s dream sequences. (Let’s hope it’s a dream of Joy and Catalina pulling her extensions out.)
The cameo will happen during the show’s official return: April 3.
