I’m not sure if I am supposed to be surprised or angry about this week. Last week’s episode of LOST was so good that I’m just chomping at the bit for more, but we don’t get that until next week. The season finale of Medium was filled with lots of twists and turns but still had a very happy ending. Heck, I even enjoyed Desperate Housewives. Still, after all this, I just feel half empty because of the truncated seasons we were handed due to the WGA strike (I know, I should just be happy we had more episodes).

Since I have been belly aching for the past few weeks about Reaper I suppose I should bring the entire thing full circle and mention that the show has in fact been renewed for another season. Another reason why I’m not sure if I should be happy or angry is because it has only been given a 13 episode pick up as a mid-season replacement next season.

There’s really not much else to say. Just about every show that is new this week is wrapping up their season this week as well. If you want real entertainment than be sure to check out this column next week when I’m struggling through the dregs of what is on to try to actually find something to write about. It should be a real hoot.

Now, let’s get to it.

MONDAY

FOX – 8:00 PM: It’s all Gormogon all the time on Bones! I am going to be bummed if they actually catch Gormogon this finale because I just love typing the name.

NBC – 8:00 PM: American Gladiators is back, and it is police officer vs. police officer.

CBS – 8:30 PM: On the season finale of How I Met Your Mother Ted gets hit by a car and ponders his life and his current relationship. Will we finally see who owned the yellow umbrella at the beginning of this season? Doubtful.

TUESDAY

FOX – 8:00 PM: It’s David vs. David tonight on American Idol. Is there really any point in watching or voting? Solid money on Cook for the win.

CW – 9:00 PM: Can it be true and Sam is the son of the devil? Last week on Reaper they wanted us to start thinking that. No matter what happens tonight sadly you will have to wait until 2009 for the follow-up.

HBO – 8:00 PM: Knocked Up is definitely the movie that catapulted Seth Rogen into the stratosphere, and gave a nice boost to Katherine Heigl as well.

WEDNESDAY

FOX – 8:00 PM: From the hype you would think that the only thing really on TV tonight is American Idol. All of the other networks really seem to have thrown in the towel and completely agreed with this perception.

MTV – 8:00 PM: If you want to hide from the hype why not take in four hours of The Real World: Hollywood? Chock full of interventions, stolen panties, and fun lovin’ conflict.

THURSDAY

ABC – 8:00 PM: Season finale night on ABC kicks off with the stunt casting of Lindsey Lohan on Ugly Betty. Words can’t even express how much I won’t be watching this tonight.

FOX – 8:00 PM: So You Think You Can Dance? Me either.

IFC – 8:00 PM: Take in 90 minutes of the R. Kelly saga Trapped in the Closet.

ABC – 9:00 PM: Two hour season finale for Grey’s Anatomy. Just typing about this and Ugly Betty caused a serious drop in my testosterone. Must find sports game, STAT!

FRIDAY

BBCA – 8:00 PM: One of my favorite “story telling” comedians is on tonight with two back-to-back specials: Eddie Izard: Dress to Kill and Eddie Izard: Glorious. Don’t tune in expecting to see the guy from The Riches.

HBO – 8:00 PM: Braveheart is such a good movie it almost makes you forget about the drunken, misogynistic, anti-Semitic side of Mel Gibson. Almost.

SATURDAY

HIST – 8:00 PM: The History Channel is once again trying to cash in on the Indiana Jones hype by re-running the Quest for the Lost Ark.

FOOD – 8:00 PM: It’s an Iron Chef America marathon tonight. See how Bobby Flay and Mario Batali became chefs of iron. Just be sure to eat a big meal before viewing.

SUNDAY

TBS – 8:00 PM: A freak accident gives womanizing Mel Gibson the ability to hear the thoughts of women in What Women Want. A guilty pleasure flick of mine, regardless of how absurd it is.

CMTV – 8:00 PM: Four words that just scream at you to tune in: My Big Redneck Wedding. Anything that shows a wedding with greased pig catching gets my attention.

– Will Wilkins did, in fact, attend a redneck wedding once… complete with the father-of-the bride dancing in a pig trough.
