- A new NCIS (13.9 million, 2.9/8) was up 3.7 million from last week.

This Week on TV (4/7-4/13)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Hell's Kitchen, American Idol, Desperate Housewives, ER, Medium, Scrubs, The Bachelor, The Office
(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)
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.

Women’s Murder Club Forces Change for Men in Trees
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, ABC, News, Renewals
Just last month, I commented about the poor treatment Scrubs was receiving by its bosses at NBC. Now I’m starting to feel just sorry as for ABC’s Men in Trees—and I don’t even watch the show!
Earlier today, the Alphabet network finally got around to picking a return date for freshman show Women’s Murder Club. What does this have to do with Trees? Well, Club‘s three episode stint starting Tuesday, April 29th will not only force Boston Legal to find a new home elsewhere (Wednesdays @ 10pm starting April 30th), it will push Men in Trees off the calendar until….May 28th. That means the Anne Heche program will essentially be left to find an audience during the small summer season.
Now if a network really wanted to hate a show, wouldn’t it be nicer if they just came right out and said it? Seriously—how is anyone supposed to watch the series if they don’t know when it’s going to be on? That’s Marketing 101, people!

ABC Announces Renewed Shows
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Cancellations, Renewals
Now that we are days away from a probable end to the writers strike, ABC has felt comfortable talking about the network’s future. Although the rest of 2007-08 remains unclear, the 2008-09 year is starting to take shape.
A total of nine shows have so far received renewal notices from the Alphabet network. That’s not to say more won’t come. But many programs not currently listed may have reason to be nervous.
Of the shows returning this fall, five are ‘veterans’; four are newbies that survived their freshman year. Those programs (in alphabetical order) are: Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Dirty Sexy Money, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Private Practice, Pushing Daisies, Samantha Who? and Ugly Betty.
A sampling of those not mentioned include October Road, Carpoolers, Cavemen, Boston Legal, Men in Trees and Women’s Murder Club. (Big Shots is apparently dead already.)
