MONDAY (4/21)
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): New episode. “A dethroned Blair musters up the strength to head back to school, and Jenny tries to keep up with the financial demands of the in-crowd.” Mondays are always better when other people are miserable.
- Deal or No Deal (NBC, 8pm): George Bush provides support to a war vet going for the million. After three tours in Iraq, the President figured it was the least he could do.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): If you can’t handle the thought of humming a tune about sandcastles over and over again, this might not be the episode for you.
- The Bachelor: London (ABC, 10pm): “Matt accompanies Amanda, Chelsea, Noelle and Shayne to their hometowns.” Being allowed to live in the U.S. takes more than just a sham marriage. It means faking it with her family too.

Fans Try to Save Moonlight
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, CBS, Gossip, Renewals,
Just a few weeks ago, CBS finally put an end to one of their struggling sophomore shows, Jericho. Now supporters of Moonlight are hoping that their cult favorite will not see that same fate.
Although the program is scheduled to return with four new episodes come April 25, the drama has not yet landed on network’s renewal schedule. Realizing a peanut-filled campaign helped to bring back the Skeet Ulrich vehicle, die-hard fans are once again banding together to keep their new fave from bleeding out.

This Week on TV (1/14-1/20)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Drama, Games, Mini Series, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Apprentice, The - Donald, ER, Nip/Tuck, Prison Break,
(You can view the whole Revamped TV Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (1/14)
- Prison Break (FOX, 8pm): Season resumes. “Michael suffers the consequences of solitary confinement, Sona-style.” I hate to think we left him in there these past few months.
- Kyle XY (ABC Family, 8pm): Second season resumes. “Kyle returns to the Tragers to tell them truth about his existence.” Maybe ABC should consider stealing this show to fill their schedule. Otherwise, I’ll never get around to watching it.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX, 9pm): Regular day and time. “John grows restless and sneaks out of the house to track down Charley Dixon.” Maybe they should have recast Edward Furlong. He would have filled this punk role perfectly.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): Actress Elizabeth Berkeley guest-stars as Horatio’s ex and Kyle’s mother. Wouldn’t it have made more sense if she was on the regular CSI? Then they could have linked it back to her Showgirls years.

- The Daily Show/The Colbert Report (Comedy Central, 11:30pm): Tonight Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will crank out their versions of a writer-less show. God love ‘em for trying.
