Filmmaker Dominic Gill rides a tandem bike across the country with people with physical disabilities.

Kidnapped by the Kids; OWN. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Parents who work too much spend time with their families.

Relapse; A&E. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
I guess we can see what happens to some people after Intervention (made by the same producers).

Tuesday, 4/5

Lights Out (FX; 9 pm CST). Series Finale.
Yep: series finale...

Addicted to Food; OWN. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
The title should clue you in...

Auction Hunter; Spike. 9 pm CST. Season Premiere.


Wednesday, 4/6

Extreme Couponing; TLC.  8 & 8:30 pm CST.  Series Premiere.
I'd watch this because I've saved shitloads of money on DVDs using coupons, but because they didn't call it "X-Treme", I just don't think the show is extreme enough...

Lizzy Caplan guest stars on Mr. Sunshine (ABC; 8:31 pm), so I guess I'll give the show yet one more week before I delete it from the season pass on the DVR...

Breaking In; Fox. 8:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Slater goes the comedy route since his last two dramas bombed.  I've been reading that it's actually a great fit.
And the show also stars Bret Harrison (Grounded For Life, The Loop, and Reaper), so I'm in.

Off The Map (ABC; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.

Tori & Dean: sTORIbook Weddings; Oxygen. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
I don't know what's worse: Spelling as an actress-- or Spelling as a constant reality "star" who writes on the side--- and has to work the "Tori" into any freakin' word that it almost works in.
(If you didn't understand the last part: check the title of this show again; I didn't mistype.)

Workaholics; Comedy Central. 9:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
