The NBA Finals begin tonight on ABC and will most definitely be what I will be watching. I am not sure as of yet if I care who wins. At this point I think I am just rooting for a long and competitive series. Who do you think will win tonight? How about the series? Who do you want to win? In TV show news there are a few new things worth noting tonight as the drama Windfall debuts on NBC and Drew Carey’s Sporting Adventures starts on the Travel Channel. What will you be watching on TV tonight?

Prime Picks

NBA Finals (ABC): Game 1 of the NBA Basketball Finals finds the Eastern Conference Champion Miami Heat heading into Dallas to face the Western Conference Champion Mavericks. This series should provide plenty of scoring as opposed to last years Spurs vs. Pistons slow paced affair. Scheduled for two and a half hours but probably will go three starting at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

Solid Selections

Gameshow Marathon (CBS): New. Tonight they Press Your Luck. I think they are pressing their luck with this lackluster version of the British import.

Windfall (NBC): Series Premiere. The first episode of this series finds a group of friend pooling their money to by Lotto tickets and winning. Will their newfound wealth change them? The show stars Luke Perry (Beverly Hills, 90210), Lana Parilla (Boomtown) and Jason Gedrick (Boomtown).
