A note of interest not found in the picks and selections below. Tonight on VH1 they will be playing the first three episodes of the canceled CBS show Love Monkey. This was a great show that CBS killed off before it had a chance to find an audience. Many shows have died an early death this TV season. CBS has been at the hands of a few like Threshold but Love Monkey is the one I wish most was still gracing our TV screens each week. What shows do you miss that got the axe before their time this TV season?
Prime Picks
American Idol (FOX): The Top 8 sing Queen songs.
House (FOX): House is struggling to save the life of a young boy who seems to have the same symptoms as a patient who died while he was treating him 12 years ago.

Solid Selections
Gilmore Girls (WB): Last week was one of the best episodes of the season with all the fast talking dialogue bantering about. This week Rory visits Jess in Philadelphia and ends up running into Luke.
