Prime Picks

Grey’s Anatomy (ABC): Repeat. The episode where the nurses go on strike and George stands in solidarity with them.

Las Vegas (NBC): Season Finale. This show has been renewed for another season. It is also taking an early ending this season, as this in only the 17 episodes. With a 13 episode order for next season the show will hit the magic number for syndication of 100 episodes, funny how that works out. James Caan and Nikki Cox will not be back next season. As for this season ending episode, Mike is looking for Sam who has been kidnapped and Delinda may be pregnant.

Numb3rs (CBS): New. A murder looks to be connected to voter-fraud. Charlie uses his math wizardry to see who may benefit most from the false outcome.

Solid Selections

House (FOX): Repeat. House doesn’t want to treat a cyclist because he thinks he has been using performance enhancers.

The Wedding Bells (FOX): Repeat of Series Premiere. This show debuted on Wednesday night after American Idol. This will be its regular timeslot. It is the story of three sisters who have inherited their parents’ wedding planning business. It is from David E. Kelley, the guy behind Boston Legal and past shows like Ally McBeal, Boston Public and The Practice. This episode was a bit disjointed, but also kind of fun. Once they are a few episodes into it and you have gotten to know the characters, a show set amongst weddings is a great backdrop for comedic and dramatic storytelling.

Law & Order (NBC): Repeat. The episode where Chevy Chase plays a famous person pulled over for drunk driving and then goes off racially is replayed.

Cable Choices

Emeril Live (Food Network): Repeat. Emeril cooks up some Italian dishes.

$40-a-Day (Food Network): Repeat. Rachael Ray visits Nashville.
