The Simpsons – “Papa Don’t Leech” (FOX, 8 PM)
This show isn’t half of what it used to be, but I’m actually very excited about this episode. Beverly D’Angelo makes a return appearance as Lurleen. A little bit of a call back to the phenomenal season 3 episode, “Colonel Homer”. Should be an exciting episode.
King of the Hill – “The Courtship of Joseph’s Father” (FOX, 8:30 PM)
I still enjoy this show most of the time. It has clunkers every now and again, but it’s still enjoyable. Tonight’s episode deals with Joseph becoming the star quarterback of the school’s football team and high schools begin recruiting him, which his ‘father’ Dale is taking advantage of.
Oprah’s Big Give – “Episode 107″ (ABC, 8 PM)
Airing an hour earlier for the remainder of it’s run to make room for the return of Desperate Housewives. It’s down to the final three. And tonight there is a special appearance from Oprah’s favorite celebrity, John Travolta. Should be very interesting. This has turned into one of my favorite reality shows of the year.
Everybody Hates Chris – “Everybody Hates Ex-Cons” (CW, 8 PM)
This show has unfortunately passed it’s prime and it’s only three seasons into it’s run. It still manages to do a decent episode every now and again, but it’s just very average. Tonight’s episode deals with Chris helping out ex-con Malvo get into high school, Rochelle giving out parenting advice, and Julius/Drew disagreeing over baseball.
Big Brother: Til Death Do You Part – “HoH Winner/Nominations” (CBS, 8 PM)
*I would expect this to be delayed. CBS is airing The Masters golf tournament earlier in the afternoon, which will probably run over and cause CBS’ programs to be delayed.
Tonight’s episode will finish the HoH endurance competition that started on Wednesday’s live show. Plus the new HoH will reveal who they nominated for eviction. Go to the Hamster Watch link on the right to find out spoilers beforehand.
Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert for Autism Education (Comedy Central, 8 PM)
A benefit hosted by Jon Stewart that will spread awareness and raise money for austim education and research. Lots of stars have signed up to appear, including: Stephen Colbert, Kevin James, Rosie O’Donnell, Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, and many more. Should be an exciting event.
Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp – “Episode 6″ (VH1, 8 PM)
This should be another entertaining episode. Apparently there’s going to be another Harvey/Dustin blow out and some WWE divas will show up to whip the fit-clubbers into shape.
Desperate Housewives – “Sunday” (ABC, 9 PM)
It’s back. Although I think the show was really awful leading up to the writer’s strike. I hope it’s returned to how it started this season, very funny and entertaining. I hated the tornado episode and the episode that followed it. Chris Cormack & Gary Cole are appearing in tonight’s episode, so maybe they’ll bring something new and fun to the table.
Rock of Love with Bret Michaels 2 – “Bret’s Rock of Love” (VH1, 9 PM)
I enjoy VH1’s celebreality shows most of the time. Tonight Bret makes his decision. It’s down to Daisy and Ambre. As I said in an earlier post, I really want Ambre to win. It would make for a great story, almost being eliminated week one then going on to win the whole show. This show is incredibly trash but fun.
John Adams – “Unnecessary War” (HBO, 9 PM)
I have to admit that I’m a little behind on the show, but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen so far. Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney have been stellar. I enjoy watching them together. Tonight’s installment deals with Adams’ term as president. Should be exciting.
Eli Stone – “Waiting for That Day” (ABC, 10 PM)
I really recommend this show. Hopefully it’ll get some great numbers since it’s airing after the return of Desperate Housewives. It really deserves to get a second season. This episode is about Eli’s past visions of an earthquake occuring in San Francisco and Eli thinking it’ll probably happen.
