So hoping my DSL modem from Verizon shows up today, so I don’t have to take another trip to the library. Trying to work on a laptop when you are used to your ergonomic keyboard is a mess. Anyway, here’s another abbreviated picks for tonight.
Prime Picks
Gossip Girl (The CW): New. Chuck’s uncle has come to town. Blair is trying to join an exclusive club and Jenny is back at school.
One Tree Hill (The CW): New. Peyton finds out something that she must tell Lucas. Lucas finds out something else that Julian has been hiding. Brooke searches for Sam.
CSI: Miami (CBS): Repeat. The “Tunnel Vision” episode from season six replays, where the team is investigating after a car falls into a sinkhole to reveal a tunnel used for a bank heist.
Solid Selections
The Big Bang Theory (CBS): Repeat. In, “The Griffin Equivalency,” from earlier this season, we have Raj getting a bit of an ego boost from a magazine article.
How I Met Your Mother (CBS): Repeat. This season’s premiere episode “Do I Know You?” replays, where Ted gets an answer to his proposal to Stella.
Two and a Half Men (CBS): Repeat. This season’s premiere episode, “Taterhead Is Our Love Child,” replays, where Charlie runs into an old girlfriend with a son that looks and acts a lot like him.
Worst Week (CBS): Repeat. In “The Truck,” the family finally learns of Sam and Mel’s secret.
The third hour network selections are pretty weak and not even worth mentioning here.
Cable Choices
The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family): Winter Premiere. The first season resumes with Amy and Ben deciding they should get married and Annie telling George she wants a divorce. Plays twice and again later. Can’t wait to see what the ratings are for this head-to-head against Gossip Girl. Which do you think will garner more viewers tonight?
Unwrapped (Food Network): Repeats. A couple of episodes focusing on your favorite breakfast items replay. Both play again later.
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (Travel Channel): Season Premiere. Tony visits Puebla and Mexico City. Plays again later.
