This site still needs your support. Thanks to everyone who has made donations, sent me email, sent gifts, or supported this site in other ways.

Hugh Jackman (of X2), Paul Rudd on Live with Regis and Kelly (syndicated, check your local listings).

Matt Dillon on The View (ABC, check your local listings).

Courtney Thorne-Smith, Margaret Colin (of Now and Again) on The Caroline Rhea Show (syndicated, check your local listings). Dude, they missed an opportunity– Eric Close, who once co-starred with Colin on Now and Again, is scheduled to be on the show on Thursday, just a day after Margaret Colin. Would’ve been cool to see them reunited on the show.

David Boreanaz (of Angel and Buffy), John Edward, Big Bird, Kelly Hu, Billy Gilman on The Wayne Brady Show (syndicated, check your local listings).

“Worst Spouse In America” on Dr. Phil (syndicated, check your local listings).

“More Husbands Who Became Women” on Oprah (syndicated, check your local listings).

“Amends” and “Gingerbread” episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (FX, 5pm, 6pm). The “Amends” episode (FX, 5pm) marks the first appearance of “The First Evil,” which has been featured heavily in this season of Buffy, so if you want to refresh your memory on what happened the last time it was around, it’s a good episode to watch.

NBA playoffs on TNT. NHL playoffs on ESPN and ESPN2. Baseball on ESPN and ESPN2.

Sean Connery movies on TCM tonight: The Man Who Would Be King (TCM, 7pm, letterboxed); The Wind and the Lion (TCM, 9:15pm, letterboxed); The Hill (TCM, 11:30pm, letterboxed); and Marnie (TCM, 2am, letterboxed).

The police catch Fez painting the water tower and threaten him with deportation on That ’70s Show (FOX, 7pm). Still one of the funniest shows on the air.

Borg drones are discovered someplace interesting and Archer is called on to investigate on Enterprise (UPN, 7pm).

Another of the final episodes of Dawson’s Creek (WB, 7pm).

Heath Ledger in Roar (Sci-Fi, 7pm).

Season finale of Angel (WB, 8pm). Still no word on if the show will be around next season, but I think it’s likely it will be (the networks announce their schedules next week, we’ll find out then for sure). This season finale is reportedly something of a pilot episode for next season, there’s been a lot of talk about taking the show in a different direction next year, this episode sets that up. I’m looking forward to this episode, though I’m sad it’ll be the last new episode for a while. Because Angel has been one of the most entertaining series this TV season.

The President works on a speech to give at Zoey’s graduation, Taye Diggs guest stars as a secret service agent, and some terrorists are up to no good on The West Wing (NBC, 8pm).

Two new episodes of The Bernie Mac Show (FOX, 8pm, 8:30pm). The first one features Bernie’s sister, the second episode features Wanda’s parents. Another of the funniest shows on TV.

“Chops” on Good Eats (Food Network, 8pm and 11pm).

A death row inmate (Jeremy Sisto) is granted a new trial after three botched attempts to execute him; a soldier (Gil Bellows) returns home to make amends to his son (Penn Badgley) on The Twilight Zone (UPN, 8pm). Alicia Witt also guest stars.

The boys learn life on Earth is an alien reality show about to be canceled on South Park (Comedy Central, 9pm and 11pm).

The corpse of a Russian model shows many old injuries, suggesting she had been the victim of abuse on Law & Order (NBC, 9pm).
