MONDAY 1/19)

• The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm):  “Ricky’s dad arrives in town with a proposal for how Ricky should handle impending fatherhood.” Apparently leaving town is an option?
• House (FOX, 8pm):  “Cuddy discovers that caring for her newly adopted baby leaves her little time to run the hospital.” Taking care of House and a baby is an impossible feat.
• Bromance (MTV, 9pm):  “The guys embark on a camping trip, but before reaching their destination, they stop at a biker bar where each must face off against a huge biker in the parking lot.” The reality is, many people want to kick Brody Jenner‘s ass. It’s time to hone their defense skills now.
• Paranormal State (A&E, 10pm):  Season premiere. “A family believes their new home in suburban New Jersey is haunted. The team’s investigation leads them to dig in the yard for possible answers.” Haunting or no haunting, buried things in my yard is reason enough to move.

Will Katie Couric Be Leaving CBS?

According to the Wall Street Journal, Katie Couric‘s highly-scrutinized run at CBS may be ending much sooner than expected.  (Or much later than some had hoped.)  Sources says the anchor may leave her contract over two years shy of its 2011 expiration date.

If the speculation is true, CBS Evening News may be looking for its next anchor around January 2009, right after the presidential inauguration.  Although it’s doubtful a new seat filler could pull the network out of its ratings hole anytime soon, an early departure could help the broadcasting company’s pocketbook.  Couric is currently receiving approximately $15 million annually.
