Primetime
ESPN has NBA hoops: Trail Blazers at Heat, Warriors at Bulls.
Season finale of Ghost Whisperer (CBS, 7pm). I’ve heard from one reader who likes this show. Anyone else out there like it? Melinda struggles to help a ghost who blames Jim for his death. Jon Polito (of The Chronicle, Homicide: Life on the Street) guest stars.
New Flash Gordon (Sci-Fi, 7pm and 10pm). I’ve also only heard from one reader who watches this. Any more of you out there?
Reruns of Bones (FOX, 7pm) and House (FOX, 8pm). I like both shows quite a bit, if you don’t watch either one or don’t watch regularly, these might be worth a look.
The Taylors look into daycare but have a hard time with that, Lyla starts working as a deejay at a Christian radio station, and Matt and Smash both learn some interesting things about themselves and those close to them in this new episode of Friday Night Lights (NBC, 8pm). Good news, NBC still has three more new episodes of this show to air after this one.
Monk (USA, 8pm and 11pm; also on Saturday at 6pm).
Two new episodes of How To Look Good Naked (Lifetime, 8pm and 10pm, 8:30pm and 10:30pm).
Season finale of Moonlight (CBS, 8pm). Mick learns Coraline’s secret and Beth deals with something big (mostly without Mick). This episode was written by Chip Johannessen (of Millennium). I must admit, I’ve started catching up with more episodes of this show and they’re at least better than the first episode.
Season finale of What Not To Wear (TLC, 8pm and 10pm; also on Saturday at 1pm).
Don and his team try to catch a serial rapist on the season finale of Numb3rs (CBS, 9pm). Andrea Anders guest stars; she was a regular on both The Class and Joey.
New episode of Psych (USA, 9pm and midnight; also 5pm on Saturday).
New Stargate Atlantis (Sci-Fi, 9pm and 11pm).
New Las Vegas (NBC, 9pm). Piper gets in trouble, but Cooper bails her out, which has the rest of the staff wondering what his motives are. Sam gets caught speeding. And there’s something going on at a parenting class and probably other subplots too.
Series premiere of George of the Jungle (Cartoon Network, 9pm and 9:30pm).
The growing trend of eating disorders among older women; plus a Mayor’s racy photos on MySpace page stirs up controversy, safety on Pplanes; all-inclusive resorts on 20/20 (ABC, 9pm).
Late Night
New Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO, 10pm). Not sure who his guests are.
Diane Keaton, Jim Gaffigan on The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS, 10:35pm).
Ted Danson, Ali Wentworth, Dean Edwards on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (CBS, 11:37pm).
