Tonight’s finales: The Hills, Medium, Samantha Who?, The Bachelor
- American Gladiators (NBC, 8pm): Season Two premiere includes new gladiators (’Rocket’ and ‘Jet’). Seriously, how intimidating could a smiling Gladiator be?
- Bones (FOX, 8pm): “When the body of an aspiring singer (Ace Young of American Idol) is discovered, Booth and Brennan probe a club’s open-mike night.” Uhh—which one was Ace again?
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): “An embarrassed Serena resurrects some troubling old habits as she continues to hide the truth from Dan.” If he only knew she’d been sharing her jeans with three other girls.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm): “Britney Spears returns as Abby, who is now dating Barney.” First Robin Sparkles, now Britney. I’m not sure if that’s a step up or down for Barney.

Over the past 14 seasons, the halls of ER have seen a multitude of guest stars. John Leguizamo, Stanley Tucci, Ray Liotta, Forest Whitaker and Hal Holbrook represent just a small sampling of those who have either been on a gurney or had a stethoscope around their neck.
For the show’s 15th - and final - year, NBC will be bringing on another Academy Award nominee to help triage the endless patients. Waiting to Exhale‘s Angela Bassett will help the veteran series finally come to a close. While this won’t be her first stint on television (she did have several appearances on my beloved Alias), this will be her first full-time gig on the small screen.
When ER returns next fall, we can also expect a visit from one of the drama’s former staples: Noah Wyle. The actor, who hasn’t done much aside from USA’s The Librarian movies, is scheduled to stop by for at least four episodes.

Despite a night of NBC originals, the network found itself in the middle of the pack. A special Thursday episode of American Idol helped FOX win the demos while CBS was first with the viewers.

- A Desperate Housewives* repeat (1.1/3) had 4.3 million excited for a new episode.
- Smallville* (2.3 million, 0.8/2) was on track with last week.

MONDAY (4/7)
- Today (NBC, 10am): Kathie Lee Gifford returns to morning TV this week. And I thought the New Kids were getting old.
- Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30pm): New episode. “Samantha has to move back into the apartment when she learns that she could be evicted for subletting it to Todd.” The girlfriend you hate gets amnesia and you get to keep her apartment. Todd has seriously been getting off easy so far.
- The Bachelor (ABC, 10pm): “It’s an afternoon of tennis and tea for six of the ladies.” I’ve seen what an afternoon of women’s tennis can look like on The Real Housewives of NYC. This won’t end pretty.
- Medium (NBC, 10pm): “Rosanna Arquette stars as an older seductress linked to the brutal murders of two younger men.” Maybe it’s best her relationship with Paul McCartney fizzled out.
