  • Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm):  Season 2 premiere. “Summer in the Hamptons winds down as Serena and Nate carry on a cover-up scheme to make others think they’re dating.” A few choice pics sent to Gossip Girl should do the trick.
  • Prison Break (FOX, 8pm):  Season 4 premiere. “Michael is in LA looking to even the score with Gretchen for Sara’s death.” I think Gretchen should really apologize for all of last season.
  • One Tree Hill (CW, 9pm):  Season 6 premiere. “Lucas’ chosen lady meets him at the airport, while Dan’s accident proves life-threatening.” Sorry. So not caring who picks these days.
  • Raising the Bar (TNT, 10pm):  Series premiere. “Idealistic public defender Jerry Kellerman (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) fights for a man he’s sure is innocent, but holding a court is a judge who loathes Kellerman.” Gosselaar’s new hair has been generating some passionate opinions.

Courteney Cox ArquetteWhat could possibly irritate Dr. Cox more than Dr. Kelso? Having a female Cox as his boss.

When Scrubs returns for its eighth season, viewers will have to get used to more than just a channel change. They’ll also be seeing a new person sitting in the Chief of Medicine’s chair this fall.

In a three-episode stint, will assume Kelso’s role and roam the halls of Sacred Grace Heart. Thanks to FX’s cancellation of her series, the actress now has a new place to combine the bitchy persona she tried on Dirt with the comedic talent she honed on Friends.

According to an EW source, Arquette’s character will “ruffle feathers.” So shall we thank ABC now for giving us the opportunity to witness Perry’s pain?

Scrubs Finale

Those of you who watched last week’s episode of might have walked away scratching your heads.  Not only did the fairy tale storyline seem a bit anti-climactic (it was supposed to be a season finale, after all), the show included an appearance from Dr. Kelso. (Didn’t he already leave the hospital?)

In a recent message sent to all of his MySpace friends (it can be read after the jump), actor Zach Braff addressed the confusion and the comedy’s upcoming move to ABC.

CSI Miami

(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)

MONDAY (5/5)

  • Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9:00):  (The script was written by scribes.) “George Eads (CSI) has a cameo in which a CSI team investigates a death at Charlie’s house.” I know Charlie wanted to stop Denise’s reality show, but this is quite a sweeps stunt.
  • House (FOX, 9pm):  “House believes that an actor (Jason Lewis) on his favorite soap is seriously ill after observing his symptoms on television, so he decides to intervene.” If I had known something like that would work, I would have kidnapped Smith Jerrod a long time ago.
  • Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30pm):  “Sam’s affair with Todd continues while he’s still seeing a clueless Chloe.” I’m sorry—why doesn’t Sam just kick her out of her apartment again?  She does own the thing, doesn’t she?
  • CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm):  “Alexx is stunned when her son is the prime suspect in a murder investigation, and any help she offers could prove costly.” Buh-bye, Khandi!

MONDAY (4/14)

  • Bones (FOX, 8pm):  New episode.  “When a motorcycle racer’s remains are discovered in a national park, Brennan and Booth hunt for his killer.” I hear this is a great show.  I just wish Angel wasn’t flirting with a new woman.
