This week’s TV picks
‘Romantically Challenged’ debuts Monday on ABC.
Monday:
‘American Experience’ 8 p.m., PBS: The history of Earth Day is explored via the movement’s movers and shakers (and tree huggers).
‘Romantically Challenged’ 8:30 p.m., ABC: A new, formulaic, mildly amusing sitcom starring Alyssa Milano is somewhat redeemed by engaging supporting actress Kelly stables channeling Leslie Mann and ‘Will & Grace’s’ Megan Mullally.
‘Damages’ FX, 9 p.m.: Season three ends tonight.
Tuesday:
‘Ancient Aliens’ 7 p.m., History: This program presents evidence of alien visitation to primitive societies and my wife, son and I get in another big fight.
‘Glee’ 8 p.m., Fox: It’s the Madonna episode, so ‘Glee’ fans are freaking out. It includes the Sue Sylvester ‘Vogue’ number those same fans were freaking out about last week.
‘Lost’ 8 p.m., ABC: The good news? Nadia appears. The bad news? The L.A. segment focuses on Jack.
Wednesday:
‘Through a Dog’s Eyes’ 7 p.m., PBS: Neil Patrick Harris narrates these accounts of dogs that help the disabled.

Thursday:
‘Spongebob Squarepants’ 7 p.m., Nickelodeon: Patrick and Spongebob celebrate Earth Day by fighting an undersea highway construction project.
‘The Office’ 8 p.m., NBC: Have I told you that I’m kind of down on this show? Well tonight’s episode could be good because it sports a lot of Oscar, Kevin, Erin and Andy (and little Jim, Pam and Michael).
‘15 Bodacious Outdoor Kitchens’ 8 p.m., FLN: One outdated adjective.
‘Project Runway’ 9 p.m., Lifetime: The conclusion of the two-part Season 7 finale ends in the revelation of the winning designer.
Friday:

‘Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution’ 8 p.m., ABC: Turns out the ‘Revolution’ won’t be televised after all. Not after tonight, anyway, the first season finale.
