I am going to aspire to have an obit like this written for me...

Television Premieres and Finales: May 5-11, 2014

Monday, 5/5

24: Live Another Day; Fox. 7 pm CST. Series Return.
Jack's back!
This is one I feel bad for missing originally (kept recording them-- and then the seasons kept building until it got too intimidating to finally start).
So I decided to jump on with this short season-- until I started reading the reviews saying this isn't the strongest comeback.
Maybe I'll wait a month. If I hear things got better, I'll try it OnDemand or later on DVD.

The Tomorrow People (The CW; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
Sure, it's a typical CW show: hot, young people doing young, hot things-- but it did have a pretty nice mythology going for it, and it also had a near-ludicrous number of surprises that resulted in interesting cliff-hangers nearly every episode.
I liked it. Wasn't my favorite, but it keep me watching.

Bates Motel (A&E; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
Geez-- over already? I haven't even started watching the season yet...

Louie; FX. 9 pm CST. 4th Season Premiere.


Tuesday, 5/6

Pioneers of Television (PBS; 7 pm CST [check local listings]). Season Finale.

New Girl (Fox; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
This show had its sophomore slump a year too late.
