This week’s TV picks
Monday:
‘Chuck’ 7 p.m., NBC: Tonight’s episode has an Austin connection, as in ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, who gives Chuck grief on an intercontinental flight. Brandon Routh (‘Superman’) also stars, although I’m guessing he’s not flying next to the plane.
‘Life Unexpected’ 7 p.m., The CW: It’s the first-season finale of this crazy, mixed up, sweet family show.
‘24’ 8 p.m., Fox: Charles Logan returns and Jack lets his emotions get the best of him.
‘King of Dirt’ 8 p.m., DIY: Hear ye, hear ye! Your presence is humbly requested at tonight’s installation of synthetic turf and pine tree removal.
Tuesday:
‘Lost’ 8 p.m., ABC: Tonight’s episode is called ‘Everybody Loves Hugo,’ so we can hope for the long-awaited return of Libby and maybe, judging from the title, Patricia Heaton and Ray Romano.
‘Melrose Place’ 8 p.m., The CW: Season one ends tonight. Mourn or rejoice as you see fit.
‘Construction Intervention’ 9 p.m., Discovery: TV must have finally run out of bodies and homes to renovate, because it’s moving onto businesses in the opener of this new series.
Wednesday:
‘Human Target’ 7 p.m., Fox: Armand Assante guest stars in this origin episode, the freshman series’ first season finale.
‘Modern Family’ 8 p.m., ABC: This cast and a baseball plot? Seriously, can Wednesday nights get any better?
‘Ugly Betty’ 9 p.m., ABC: Remember when this past-its-prime series used to win all kinds of awards? Celebrate those long-gone, good times by tuning back in for tonight’s show, the series’ last ever.
‘CSI: NY’ 9 p.m., CBS: Ozzy Osbourne’s new song ‘Let Me Hear You Scream’ makes its debut in this installment. And you will Ozzy. Hear me scream. The minute it starts.
Thursday:
‘Fringe’ 8 p.m., Fox: Hey, Cedar Park readers … I don’t want to say this commuter train episode is creepy, but if you see guest star Peter Weller sitting near you some morning you might just want to get off at Parmer and walk the rest of the way.
‘Saturday Night Live in the 2000s: Time and Again’ 8 p.m., NBC: Relive the hilarious Will Ferrell years and then watch the show get kind of bad again in this retrospective that highlights, among other topics, several election cycles.
Friday:
‘Wife Swap’ 7 p.m., ABC: A family of doomsday nut jobs trade moms with another family that boasts a 12-year-old golf-prodigy. I can’t think of a single thing to say about this that’s goofier than what I just typed.
‘Secrets of the Mountain’ 7 p.m., NBC: They still make TV movies? I guess so! Paige Turco and Barry Bostwick star. Of course they do.
Saturday:
‘Strikeforce Nashville: From Nashville’ 8 p.m., CBS: Mixed martial arts: From mixed martial artists.
‘Doctor Who’ 8 p.m., BBC: Meet the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith, in the fifth-season premiere. And meet my spell checker, which keeps suggesting I change the show’s title to ‘Doctor Whom.’
Sunday:
‘Academy of Country Music Awards’ 7 p.m., CBS: Reba McEntire hosts the 45th annual event, this year from Las Vegas, with performers including Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum, who leads the pack with seven nominations.
‘Chefs vs. City’ 9 p.m., Food: A foodie face-off kicks off season 2.
