The 1st Academy Awards took place on May 16, 1929, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, CA.
American Idol (Fox 8pm) The finalists visit their hometowns and perform for the judges.
The season slowly grinds to an end, but never fear — I’m sure we’ll start seeing auditions for season 12 in the next three months or so.
Nature (PBS 8pm) Koalas manage to survive amid dangers in Australia.
Koalas are vicious little bastards.
Suburgatory (ABC 8:30) Finale: Tessa feels a void as Chatswin celebrates mothers; Dalia goes to Israel without Dallas; Eden reacts to a baby shower’s theme; Fred arranges a surprise for Sheila; Lisa makes a discovery.
I don’t watch this show because it makes me feel like a copy-cat even though I chose my pseudonym long before it ever aired. I’ve heard it’s pretty good, though. Renewal status: Renewed.
Criminal Minds (CBS 9pm) Finale: When the BAU is called to negotiate a situation at a federal bank, one of their own becomes a hostage; Prentiss says goodbye.
Renewal status: Renewed. Thank goodness, because there just aren’t enough procedural crime dramas these days.
Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis (Bravo 9pm) Finale: Jeff and Jenni find that comedian Mark Decarlo has bad taste.
I’ve never heard of Mark DeCarlo, but his IMDB page tells me that I’ve seen him multiple times. Renewal status: Don’t know, don’t care — I’d never heard of Jeff Lewis before either.
Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23 (ABC 9:30pm) Chloe encourages June to try casual sex; an embarrassing video of James and Chloe leaks, causing James to worry about its effect on his likeability.
As long as James Van Der Beek is still willing to spoof himself weekly for my amusement, he will remain far more likeable than he ever was before.
Revenge (ABC 10pm) A devastating loss brings Jack and Emily closer together; Victoria’s new alliance could seal Conrad’s fate; Charlotte goes after Declan.
Suspenseful horns o’doom! I don’t know how they’re going to keep this show going for a whole second season, but I can’t wait to find out!
Law & Order: Special Victim’s Unit (NBC 10pm) When the investigation into a missing teen leads the detectives to a severed leg, they are drawn into the world of self-mutilation and ritual amputation.
Remember Boxing Helena? I wish I didn’t.
Around the World in 80 Plates (Bravo 10pm) The chefs run bistros and serve traditional Lyonnais dishes and one chef gets a traditional recipe from a local.
It’s good of Bravo to give the French yet another reason to think of Americans as freaking idiots.
Toddlers & Tiaras (TLC 10pm) Mackenzie, Damitri’ana and Lacy Mae will go to Earth’s end to win with an around-the-world theme.

After giving birth to her fourth child, SuburBint carefully weighed the options and decided that recapping reality TV was probably a better choice in the long run than alcoholism. Liver function tests have yet to confirm the wisdom of this decision. Being an honest-to-goodness recapper is also a dream come true, as she has aspired to do this ever since discovering that such a thing existed way back in 2002.
Her favorite shows of all time include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Coupling, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Firefly, Community, Parks and Recreation, Doctor Who, and Veronica Mars. She can also quote The Big Lebowski in its entirety, and will do so with little to no provocation.

I’m afraid. I’m very afraid. I understood the sentence about T&T. It’s 7:00a.m. CDT, but I think I’m ready for that drink now.

Fun fact: the eucalyptus that koalas eat ferments in their stomachs, so the cute little beasts spend their entire lives smashed out of their cute little furry heads. This particular one just happens to be a mean drunk. So sad for his family.

Fun fact: Koalas also are riddles with chlamydia. That guy better get to the free clinic.

No, c8hy, you don’t want auto-correct. I spend way too much time fighting with than thing. Edit would be nice if that were different and a little less didactic.
Back to the koalas. So it appears that they are not only mean drunks, but promiscuous as well. This little vid just shoots the crap out of the koala rep. So sad.

OMG! Are they gonna kill off the dog on Revenge??? That would suck.
Also…don’t knock Criminal Minds. It’s an excellent show, and Shemar Moore is devastatingly hot.

I think the Gasmii are generally pretty trivial. What else would you expect of a bunch of adults who spend inordinate amounts of time taking potshots at television characters!?!
