Monday, April 30

Fifteen years ago today, Ellen DeGeneres’s fictional counterpart, Ellen Morgan came out to her crush (and, accidentally, an entire airport full of people.) Not since Murphy Brown became a single parent had the world experienced so much simultaneous pearl-clutching.

Dancing With the Stars (ABC 8pm) The remaining couples perform; Joshua Bell, Jackie Evancho and Vittorio Grigolo perform.

And once again, I have never heard of any of the guest performers.

The Voice (NBC 8pm) Eight vocalists compete; Blake performs his new single; the teams perform two songs together.

Adam Levine’s ADHD commercial plays three times during every commercial break.

Bones (Fox 8pm) When a corpse is discovered in the woods, the team considers two families involved in a nearly century-long feud.

Those Hatfields and McCoys are up to their crazy shenanigans again!

2 1/2 Men (CBS 9pm) When Alan has a heart attack, Charlie’s ghost (Kathy Bates) visits him.

Kathy Bates. Why?

House (Fox 9pm) When the team treats a 6-year-old with multiple health issues, they must collaborate with her mother (Jessica Collins), who is also a doctor. Wilson and House go on vacation.

Because every time they’ve ever gone out of town together, things have gone so well.

Eureka (SyFy 9pm) The ship is found but the crew has been taken; help arrives by an unexpected and dangerous visitor.

I suppose this is too much to hope for. *

Bethenny Ever After (Bravo 10pm) A long vacation and a second horrible trip on a boat forces Bethenny and Jason to hash things out and confront some fears.

‘Bout damn time.

Ridiculousness (MTV 10pm) Premiere — Episode: Justin Bieber

That sums it up, I think.

Training for the Apocalypse (National Geographic Channel 10pm) A chronicle of the journeys of survivalists, truth-seekers and prophets as they prepare for the global cataclysms they fear are coming.

“So say the zombies are approaching in a slow lurch formation to the front. Now, the six of us with the machetes will engage them in battle while those of you who are carrying the submachine guns will flank us on the sides and… Barry! Quit texting and pay attention! This is your life we’re talking about here, soldier!”

Bad Girls Club: Las Vegas (Oxygen 10pm) Reunion: Part 1 — The season 8 cast reunites to rehash what happened in Vegas.

Unless they start throwing punches, there’s really no reason why this should require multiple episodes.

What will you be watching tonight?

* Yes, I am well aware that Matt Smith is now playing the Doctor, but David Tennant is my favorite, and I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, but you’re really just going to have to suck it.

About

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.

    It didn’t occur to me till that last sentence that Matt Smith WAS the new Doctor. Damn. It was all just a dream. I miss David Tennant a lot. Sob. Oh well. There are always reruns.

    I don’t dislike Matt Smith, but David Tennant is just so… dreamy. And angry. And dreamy.

    Bethenney or BGC or the 7th circle of hell? Decisions, decisions.

    Hey, I remember that Ellen episode. That was a “much watch” right up there with the Cheers/Seinfeld/Friends’ finales. Does anyone else see a pattern here, LOL?

    Fox totally lied. House and Wilson are NOT on vacation. At all.

    I will be watching ‘How I Met Your Mother Tonight’. I hate to say it, but I only watch this show for Barney (NPH). He is crazy funny. I don’t really care who the mother is at this point.

    I just found this list, even though I watch my selected list of shows, I still found it fun to read this list:

    Thanks for the link, Carol!

    I love/hate HIMYM. Love Barney. Hate Ted. Love Lily & Marshall. Not crazy about Robin. Wish they’d reveal who the freaking mother is already and take the show off the air before I hate everything about it and can’t enjoy reruns anymore.

    Holy fuck. That was no fun at all. In the plot ideas for this season, who checked off “give Wilson a lethal dose of chemotherapy drugs??” C’mon. Whoever did it, cop to it.

    At least it had Journey in it.

    Because of this I ended up re-watching Tennant episodes of Doctor Who on Netflix.

    This comment will bolster my confidence on the days when I feel like I don’t do enough to make a positive impact on other people’s lives. :-)

    That slide show at the end was fantastic. I was thinking that they were actually going to kill Wilson, because my theory right now for how they will end the series is that something extremely bad will happen and House will go off the reservation entirely, resulting in permanent incarceration or death (his own.) I suppose it’s still a possibility, with three episodes left. If I were in charge, I would end the series with House being diagnosed with lupus.

    The slide show rocked. It was well-timed, too. You needed an upper after the colossal downer. (And I don’t count the kid getting cured as a happy ending, either. Sick kid plots just irritate me.)
