This week’s TV picks
Monday:
“The Bachelor” 7 p.m., ABC: Everybody sing, Toto-style — “Brad picks his ma-ate down in Aaaa-frica …” Tune in tonight to see which woman wins this game show’s prize: a person she’ll wake up next to every day for the rest of her life (no, there’s no “door number two”).
“The Event” 8 p.m., NBC: I don’t know why the aliens bothered to launch a satellite to send that coded message to their people when they could have just updated their status on Spacebook.
“Wedding Wars” 8 p.m., VH1: One Austin presence on a reality show ends; another begins. Look for a local couple on the premiere of this reality program that makes the pre-wedding period seem hellish. See? Reality!
Tuesday:
“Glee” 7 p.m., Fox: Blah, blah, blah, Sue, blah, blah, original music, blah, blah, Regionals, blah, blah, blah, blah, Sue.
“V” 8 p.m., ABC: Season 2 — and, quite possibly, the series — ends tonight with another predictable setback for the human freedom fighters.
Wednesday:
“Shedding for the Wedding” 8 p.m., The CW: I know that contestants have to leave the show, but it seems a little extreme when the trip is by ambulance.
“Mr. Sunshine” 8:30 p.m., ABC: Troubadour James Taylor guest stars. Did anyone else always think that song “Shower the People” was about gym class?
“Off the Map” 9 p.m., ABC: When has a show’s title ever better explained where it lands on viewers’ priority lists?
Thursday:
“Bones” 8 p.m., Fox: Booth and Brennan are trapped in an elevator. I hope there isn’t a Steven Tyler crossover from that other Fox show.
Friday:
“Supernanny” 7 p.m. ABC: The series concludes tonight. I feel a little guilty that I’ve never watched it, but I just didn’t think I could get into a weekly serial about Clark Kent’s babysitter.
Saturday:
“Pompeii: Back from the Dead” 7 p.m., Discovery: It looks like Discovery is the last network to cash in on the zombie craze.
“HGTV Dream Home Giveaway” 7 p.m., HGTV: Find out who won the vermont ski retreat, half a million bucks and a new car tonight.
“Norbit” 8 p.m., ABC: Hey, here’s something different - a film in which Eddie Murphy plays multiple roles!
Sunday:
“Celebrity Apprentice” 8 p.m., NBC: Two teams try to out-Sheen each other.
“Detroit 1-8-7” 9 p.m., ABC: Season 1 ends tonight and Fitch and his crew search for clues about the possibility of a Season 2.
