Norm McDonald guest stars on My Name is Earl (7:00).

In another great nod to superheroes past, "Wonder Woman" Lynda Carter guest stars on Smallville as Chloe's mother.


Friday, 4/20

Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter; WE. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
Because the world was clamoring for a reality series about such a woman.


Saturday, 4/21

Apparently Scarlett Johansson didn't learn that the show SUCKS her first time, so tonight she has a second stint as host of Saturday Night Live. I think she's talented, but that show manages to quash the talent of anyone unfortunate enough to agree to be a host (Piven, Lee, Carell, Cook).

Spring Watch; Animal Planet. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
Six-part series that tracks the development of spring.

The Real Deal; TLC. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
A series that shows how to renovate and resell real estate. It is sooo going to be "season pass"ed on my DVR...

The States; History Channel. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
Ten-part series exploring the history and lore of the United States. Sounds cool. The first ep focuses on California, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Kansas, and West Virginia.

The War at Home (FOX, 6 pm) has its season finale. Considering the lead just shot a pilot for next year, I'm guessing we may be able to call this the "series finale".

Planet Earth repeats on the Discovery Channel from 8 am to 5 pm and then airs the last two episodes at 7 & 8 pm. After that is an hour-long special about the making of the series.
