Finales, Finales, and More Finales; May 18-24, 2009

Monday, 5/18

The Wonder Pets; Nickelodeon. 9:30 am CST. Season Premiere.

Gossip Girl (The CW; 7 pm). Season Finale.

24 (FOX; 7 pm). Season Finale.

How I Met Your Mother (CBS; 7:30 pm). Season Finale.
Closing the book on another fantastic season. This ep follows the events of Ted's 31st birthday party-- and the goat story is finally told. (For those of you who don't know-- or have forgotten-- there was an episode in Season One where "Future Ted" mentions the appearance of a goat in his apartment; and then says, "But that's a story that will have to wait until later." And the story gets teased once or twice a season.)

Two and a Half Men (CBS; 8 pm). Season Finale.

The Bachelorette; ABC. 8:02. Season Premiere.

CSI: Miami (CBS; 9 pm). Season Finale.


Tuesday, 5/19

90210 (The CW; 8 pm). Season Finale.

Dancing With the Stars (ABC; 8 pm). Season Finale.
One show I hate having in my face all the time is finally leaving us for a while...

The Mentalist (CBS; 8 pm). Season Finale.

Glee; FOX. 8 pm. Series Premiere (sneak peek).
In an unusual move, FOX is airing the pilot of one of their new Fall 2009 series to whet our appetites for September.
A one-hour comedy that pokes fun at the High School Musical formula of disparate teenagers coming together and making a musical.
Sounds lame in theory-- BUT-- every critic I've come across who's seen it has loved it. Don't be that one who let this show get away from him/herself.
Highly Recommended.

Now let's hope this clip doesn't screw up my format (I have no hopes it won't):



Without a Trace (CBS; 9:01). Season Finale.

Law & Order: SVU (NBC; 9 pm). Season Finale.


Wednesday, 5/20

American Idol (FOX; 7 pm). Season Finale.
And the other show I hate hearing about is leaving this week as well. Yippee!!!

The New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS; 7 pm). Season Finale.
Richard and New Christine get married, and Old Christine hooks up with a surprising wedding guest (played by one of my favorite TV actors-- but I won't spoil it).

Gary Unmarried (CBS; 7:30) Season Finale.
And I am going to have to find some way to occupy my time without my nearly weekly Paula Marshal fix.

Criminal Minds (CBS; 8 pm). Season Finale.

Clean House: Search for the Messiest Home in the Country; Style. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
Jesus-- I got hand cramps typing that stupid damn name.
Niecy Nash visits peoples' houses in the hopes to find the messiest house in America.
Man, Niecy, I know Reno 911 has sucked ass the past couple of years, but don't stoop lower for this crap...


Thursday, 5/21

So You Think You Can Dance; FOX. 7 pm. 5th Season Premiere.
Oh joy...

Ugly Betty (ABC; 7 pm). Season Finale.
A Mode editor dies, Betty and Marc compete for a job, and the return of Henry. Two out of three ain't bad; I like Christopher Gorham ("Henry"). Otherwise: yawn...

Southland (NBC; 9 pm). Season Finale.


Friday, 5/22

Head Case (Starz; 9 pm). Season Finale.

Party Down (Starz; 9:30). Season Finale.
Guest starring, Veronica Mars herself: Kristen Bell.
