One I forgot last week: tonight is Robot Chicken's half-hour Star Wars special on [adult swim]/Cartoon Network at 10 pm and then reairs a few more times this week. George Lucas liked the skit when Darth Vader called the Emperor about the destruction of the Death Star so much, he agreed to lend his voice to the special. If you like Star Wars, or making fun of Star Wars, then check it out.
Monday, 6/18
Curl Girls, Logo. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Lesbian surfers...
Age of Love; NBC. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
A 31-year-old tennis pro gets to pick from a smorgasbord of women in yet another reality dating show. But this one has a twist: the women are either "kittens" (women in their twenties) or "cougars" (women in their forties). I'm sure it'll be classier than what you'd expect...
Simon Schama's Power of Art; PBS. 8 pm (check local listings). Series Premiere.
A documentary series examining the stories behind some of art's masterpieces.
Heartland; TNT. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
Treat Williams stars in this medical drama about transplant surgeons.
The Closer; TNT. 8 pm. Season Premiere.
And a fantastically funny episode of The New Adventures of Old Christine reairs tonight at 7:30 (CBS). I'd put it in the top ten funniest episodes of the past TV season.
Tuesday, 6/19
P.O.V.; PBS. 9 pm (check local listings). Season Premiere.
The 20th season begins.
AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Al Pachino; USA. 8 pm. Special.
Is it me, or does this seem to happen more than annually?
Wednesday, 6/20
AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies; CBS. 7 pm. Special.
It's been ten years since AFI listed its 100 greatest American films list, and it'll be interesting to see what new films made the cut-- and what old films got pushed out.
Thursday, 6/21
There's a The Office marathon from 7-9 pm (NBC).
Live From Abbey Road; Sundance. 9 pm. Mini-series (12 part).
A look at what it takes to put on a live concert and includes rehearsals at the famous studio. The first ep features Norah Jones and John Mayer.

I've Got Nothing to Wear; TLC. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
I've got a headache writing that these stupid shows keep cropping up.
Stargate Atlantis; SciFi. 8 pm. Season Finale.
And my hat's off to Stargate SG1 (SciFi, 7 pm) for wrapping up its tenth and final season (the longest-running American sci-fi series). I didn't get into it (admittedly, I didn't try real hard), but it deserves its props.
