This Week on TV (6/15-6/21)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Food & Home, Games, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, BBC, Bravo, Cable, FOX, NBC, TNT-HD

(You can view TV Envy’s Programming Schedule here.)

MONDAY (6/15)

• Greek (ABC Family, 8pm):  Season finale. “Casey struggles with conflicting feelings she has for Max and Cappie.” Given how nauseating “Casey and Cappie” sounds, I’d think the obvious choice would be Max.
• The Closer (TNT, 9pm):  “Brenda snoops into the abduction of a greedy financier being investigated for investment fraud, but she soon suspects that he may have staged the kidnapping.” Later, it’s discovered the investor was less than six degrees way from Kevin Bacon.
• Raising the Bar (TNT, 10pm):  “Michelle then falls for a sightly cop who may be committing perjury.” So much for making him swear on the Bible before the first date.
• Here Comes the Newlyweds (ABC, 10pm):  “The husbands try to guess what their wives think are their shortcomings when it comes to intimacy.” It’s not that they don’t already know—it’s just that they forgot.

Thanks to a deal that is still being finalized, programs ranging from Lost to General Hospital will eventually be made available on Hulu. ABC, owned by Disney, will now become the third major network (alongside NBC and FOX) to allow ad-supported webstreaming of their shows via the site.

• Greek (ABC Family, 8pm):  “Casey returns from her summer internship with secret plans to move out of her sorority house.” Unfortunately, she couldn’t wait to change her Facebook profile.
• Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm):  “Charlie blows off steam by sharing a drunken night with Alan, Herb and his neighbor after Chelsea discovers nude photos of another woman on his cell phone.” Kinda makes you wonder what Denise Richards has on her ex.
• Rules of Engagement (CW, 9:30pm):  “Jeff and Audrey lie to get out of Jennifer and Adam’s dinner party in favor of a better bash.” Fondue parties are so 5 years ago.
• CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm):  “Ryan is kidnapped and forced to betray Horatio and the team.” Cue Horatio lowering glasses in disappointment.

Casting Corner: How I Met Your Mother, Greek, Brothers & Sisters and More

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, CBS, Grey's Anatomy, News, Rumors

Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:

iCarly: American Idol finalist David Archuleta will be targeting the teen demos when he makes a stop on Nickelodeon. In the appearance, which will be taped this Thursday, the singer will play…himself. But there will be a twist. Instead of being known for his FOX show, Archuleta will be a contestant on a program called “America Sings.” This guest stint not-so-coincidentally comes around the time David’s first album drops. His self-titled debut hits stores on November 11.)

This Week on TV (8/25-8/31)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Drama, Games, Kids, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, MTV, NBC, General Hospital

MONDAY (8/25)

• General Hospital (ABC, check local listings):  Genie Francis wakes up from her catatonic state. Hurry up and ask her all your questions before she goes back under.
• High School Musical: Get in the Picture (ABC, 8pm):  “The six finalists attempt to learn TV theme songs from the 1970s and ‘80s.” Should we really allow these teens to butcher classic songs from before they were born?
• Deal or No Deal (NBC, 8pm):  Season 4 premiere. Could this be the day that someone wins the million? Pleez. Do you think they’d give it up that quickly?
• America’s Toughest Jobs (NBC, 9pm):  Series premiere. “Average Joes perform dangerous and physically demanding jobs in this competition series. The winner is awarded the annual salary of each job completed.” Aren’t Average Joes the ones already performing these jobs?

Lauren Conrad on Gossip Girl?

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Reality, MTV, The CW, The Hills, Gossip, Rumors

Set to appear in an upcoming episode of ABC Family’s Greek, reality star Lauren Conrad has spilled the beans on a guilty pleasure of hers: Gossip Girl.

“I love Gossip Girl. I just love it. It’s so gossipy and superficial. It’s amazing,” Conrad said, obviously never one to try be above such silly things, considering her

life on MTV’s The Hills.

Then again, fans of the “fashion designer” shouldn’t get their hopes up—Conrad took it back: “I probably wouldn’t want to see myself on there because it would ruin it for me. I like watching other people get gossiped about. It makes me feel better.”

How profound you are, Lauren!

This Week on TV (6/9-6/15)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, BBC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FOX, MTV, NBC, Hell's Kitchen

(You can view TV Envy’s Summer Television Programming Schedule here.)

MONDAY (6/9)

• The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm):  “DeAnna accuses the 9 remaining bachelors of refusing to take the competition seriously, but first she invites them to compete in a singing contest.” I don’t understand why those guys don’t see the importance of a proper serenade.
• Quads with 2 Moms (Discovery Health, 8pm):  “A same-sex couple who want to become parents undergo fertility treatments and both become pregnant with twins.” I just can’t believe Oprah didn’t get a hold of this story first!
• Greek (ABC Family, 8pm):  Season finale. “The Cyprus-Rhodes students head to the beach for Spring Break where Casey finally decides to leave the past behind and cut loose.” And by “decides”, we mean she finally “downs” a couple of shots and forgets the past.
• Nashville Star (NBC, 9pm):  Season/network premiere. “Billy Ray Cyrus takes over the hosting from Jewel, who moves to the judges’ table alongside country stars John Rich and Jeffrey Steele.” I never thought the day would come when I would compare Jewel to Paula Abdul.
