Sorry I didn't mention Southland (NBC; 9 pm) premiered last week. I blame TV Guide for not putting the news on anything I'd look at (they only have two spots in their weekly mag that has notable episodes).


Friday, 4/17

Johnny Depp voices surfing guru, Jack Kahuna Luna, on Spongebob Squarepants (Nickelodeon; 7 pm).

Prison Break; FOX. 8 pm. Series Return.
The show is back for its final six episodes of the series.
A friend sent me the news that the show will end, and then the series will be wrapped up in a direct-to-DVD movie this summer. Ugh...
The news may not be completely bad, as another website I checked said it wasn't yet confirmed the movie would not air.
Here's the only video clip I could find for the final episodes:





Stranger Among Bears; Animal Planet. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
I have no idea...

Grey Gardens; HBO. 7 pm. Special.
Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore star in this made-for-TV movie, which has gotten some pretty reviews.

Sit Down, Shut Up; FOX. 7:30 pm. Series Premiere.
A new animated series set in a Florida High School by Mitch Hurwitz, the creator of Arrested Development. Some of the featured voices are by Will Arnet, Jason Bateman, and Henry Winkler-- who all worked together on that series, in case you've forgotten.



HEY! Maria Bamford is on the show, too. We went to the same high school. I'm not claiming to have known her (I was 4-5 grades younger than her), but I'm mentioning it because I think it's cool-- and I always make sure to check out her work (sometimes she's on Comedy Central specials).
