TV Patrol: Monday’s Here!

The Bachelor on ABC, is getting down to the finish line. Jason has three ladies left from his coven of 25, Melissa, Jillian & Molly. Way to go dude! Tonight he wants them to take a “Leap Of Faith” with him. The one who fails may be going home. More after the jump………

At 8pm, on a two-hour The Bachelor, Jason takes his final three on a trip to New Zealand. It’s breathtakingly beautiful (especially in HD) as they tour the island in a helicopter, take a boat ride & then the ultimate in fun, Bungee Jumping! Did you know that it originated in New Zealand? This “leap of faith” could just be the end for one of these girls. I’m rooting for Molly. I think her & Jason are almost perfect for each other. The other two are scags. The promos have been teasing that an “I love you” slips out, but doesn’t say who says it. They also show Jason having a meltdown. I think I’m watching tonight.

True Beauty follows at 10pm. We are down to four superficial, self-absorbed beauties. Tonight they are going to walk the red carpet. The clincher is, they will be walking with their parents. They need to be on their best behavior. Another one will make the “walk of shame” tonight.

CBS has decided that their comedy line-up kicks ass in the ratings even if they show repeats, so that’s just what they are doing. One exception, Worst Week is new at 9:30pm. This is the season finale that was bumped last week for the presidential press conference. Mel goes into labor, but Sam’s not with her. Sam, of course, gets things all mixed up & ends up in the wrong hospital. I’m sure he makes it in time. (I hope so, in case ABC cancels the show).

NBC has Chuck at 8pm. Andy Richter & Jenny McCarthy play odd-ball neighbors in suburbia, where Chuck & Sarah go undercover as a happy couple & move into the neighborhood.

Heroes continues it’s totally nonsensical storyline at 9pm, which is basically a cross between X-Men & 4400. Matt’s still drawing pictues & sends Ando & Hiro to India, of all places! God, I hope it’s not all sub-titles.

Medium is at 10pm. Too bad it has to follow a bad cartoon show. Patricia Arquette directed this episode about a 17yr old crime that makes Allison act a little bizarre.

House is fightin’ with God again tonight at 8pm on FOX. A priest is admitted to the ER after seeing a bleeding Jesus hovering on his doorstep. House ends up wrestling with his own beliefs once again. Hmmmm, the previews don’t tease about any ‘Huddy’ love, just more ‘Foreteen’ cooing.

24 is on at 9pm. Jack & Agent Walker track leads, trying to prevent another terrorist attack between 4 & 5pm.

The CW has repeats of Gossip Girl & One Tree Hill at 8 & 9pm.

A&E has a new episode of Intervention at 9pm. It’s alcoholism again.

TNT is airing new episodes of The Closer at 9pm & Trust Me at 10pm.

TRAVEL’s got a new Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations at 10pm. Our host goes to the Phillippines to have some suckling pig.

MTV has a new The City at 10pm. At 10:30pm, it’s Pastry Party: The Best of Daddy’s Girls. It’s just highlights of their 1st season.

FOOD Network gives us a new Good Eats at 8pm. Alton Brown teaches us all the good things about molasses. I love his shows & usually end up taping them for later references.

ABCFamily has a new episode of The Secret Life of the American Teenager at 8pm. Ricky is trying to ruin the adoption. I still think Amy will keep the baby. Ashley is going to try & get her & Ben back together.

Kyle XY is new at 9pm. Kyle starts working to help with the Trager’s current financial situation even though he wants to quit.

Little People Big World is back on TLC with new episodes at 8 & 8:30pm. Matt Roloff goes back to Iraq. This time he’s got an orthopedic surgeon with him who will perform leg surgery on two dwarfed children he met on his last visit to Bagdad. I watched when he went the first time & it was extremely dangerous to get into the area. The doctor who was suppose to join Matt there had to cancel because of the great many lay-overs while waiting to get into the country. It was very compelling to watch. I’m sure these episodes will be too.

For those of you still in the mood for politics & the 2008 election, HBO has Right America: Feeling Wronged…. Some Voices From the Campaign Trail at 8pm. Produced & directed by Alexandra Pelosi (daughter of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Cal.), she follows the 28-state Republican rallies. Conservatives candidly discuss their criticism of Obama & extol the virtues of McCain & Sarah Palin.

Finally for President’s Day, the HISTORY Channel has Stealing Lincoln’s Body at 9pm. It explores the route that Lincoln’s body took on it’s way back to Illinous, including the plot of a Chicago gang to steal it and hold it for ransom money.

Let me just say this before I go. I LOVED The Amazing Race last night. The ‘cheese challenge’ was hysterical. I LMAO! What a great start to a new season. I will watch House & Worst Week. I may even take a peek at The Bachelor too. I’m going to record Heroes & watch it if anybody else does.

See you all tomorrow for another night of American Idol! The first 12 of the 36 perform.

love
