This week’s TV Picks
Here are my thoughts on what to watch (and what to avoid watching) this week:
Monday:
“Relapse” 8 p.m., A&E: Season 1 concludes tonight. If the network relapses, we might get a Season 2.
“RuPaul’s Drag Race” 8 p.m., Logo: Just when you thought it was over, here’s a Season 3 recap.
“Hawaii Five-0” 9 p.m., CBS: Rick Springfield guest stars as a fashion photographer-slash-murder victim. He probably talked to strangers.
Tuesday:
“Glee” 7 p.m., Fox: Sue takes over the school newspaper and gives journalism students an idea of what real-world editors are like.
“Black in Latin America” 7 p.m., PBS: Slavery wasn’t abolished in Brazil until 1888, and the country is still dealing with its fallout.
“The Voice” 8 p.m., NBC: The auditions conclude in this inexplicably popular hot mess of a musical reality show.
“The Good Wife” 9 p.m., CBS: The show brings in guest star Martha Plimpton from “Raising Hope,” which is okay, I guess, as long as she doesn’t bring Maw Maw with her.
Wednesday:
“Women’s Softball” 6:30 p.m., FSSW: Texas takes on Texas A&M. It’s the brawl to settle … something. A bar bet, maybe?
“I’m Alive” 7 p.m., Animal Planet: Me, too. But you don’t see anybody making a TV show about it.
“Modern Family” 8 p.m., ABC: It’s Mother’s Day and it should be a mother of an episode because Claire and Gloria are the mothers of all TV mothers.
“Spouse vs. House” 9 p.m., TLC: This new renovation reality show forces one spouse to move out while the other remodels.
Thursday:
“Wipeout” 7 p.m., ABC: It’s really hard to continue to not watch this show when they have a game called the “scareousel.”
“Community” 7 p.m., NBC: Part one of the two-part season finale finds the Greendale gang involved in another heated game of paintball. This time, “Lost’s” Josh Holloway shows up as a mysterious combatant.
“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” 8 p.m., CBS: Serial killer Nate Haskell kidnaps Ray’s ex and serial complimenter Eddie Haskell tells the Beaver’s mom that she looks nice today.
“30 Rock” 9 p.m., NBC: It’s summer vacation time as Season 5 comes to an end.
Friday:
“Shark Tank” 7 p.m., ABC: One of the pitches on this show is for “male-oriented candles.” Seriously. ‘Cuz guys love candles.
“Friday Night Lights” 7 p.m., NBC: A new player joins the Lions as Coach Taylor mediates locker room rumbles.
“Overheard with Evan Smith” 8:30 p.m., PBS: Evan chats with actress Holland Taylor, who stars in a one-woman show about former Texas Governor Ann Richards.
“Fringe” 8 p.m., Fox: Season 3 departs tonight and so does at least one character.
Saturday:
“PCL Baseball: Nashville at Round Rock” 7 p.m., KBVO: Look for me up in the Dell Diamond’s home run porch, hassling Nashville’s left fielder.
Sunday:
“Amazing Race: Unfinished Business” 7 p.m., CBS: The season wraps up as the remaining teams race to the Miami finish line.
“Nature” 7 p.m., PBS: Tonight is the first of a grizzly, three-part journey through Alaska’s bear country.
“Brothers And Sisters” 9 p.m., ABC: The season wraps up with Sarah and Luc racing toward the altar.
“CSI: Miami” 9 p.m., CBS: The season wraps up with Horatio racing after an escaped convict.
“Journey of The Bonesetter’s Daughter” 9 p.m., PBS: This documentary chronicles the creation of the San Francisco Opera production based on the Amy Tan novel.
