- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): “Blair comes to Serena’s defense and faces off with Georgina.” Well, I don’t think this is a fair fight at all. Georgina’s got mad Buffy skills!
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Will it come down to the Olympic gold medalist, NFL’s Man of the Year or the Chilean actor? Never underestimate a man who telenovela fans supporting him.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm): “Ted has an accident, and his close call with death finds him reevaluating his life and his relationship with Stella.” Yeah, I have no idea how he’s going to share her with Zach Braff either.

(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)
MONDAY (4/21)
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): New episode. “A dethroned Blair musters up the strength to head back to school, and Jenny tries to keep up with the financial demands of the in-crowd.” Mondays are always better when other people are miserable.
- Deal or No Deal (NBC, 8pm): George Bush provides support to a war vet going for the million. After three tours in Iraq, the President figured it was the least he could do.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): If you can’t handle the thought of humming a tune about sandcastles over and over again, this might not be the episode for you.
- The Bachelor: London (ABC, 10pm): “Matt accompanies Amanda, Chelsea, Noelle and Shayne to their hometowns.” Being allowed to live in the U.S. takes more than just a sham marriage. It means faking it with her family too.

Casting Change for Law & Order: SVU
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip, News,
Two months ago, we told you that Jesse L. Martin would be leaving his role on Law & Order after nine years on the show. Now it looks like Dick Wolf will be busy with another exit from his L&O family.
TV Guide is reporting that Diane Neal, Law & Order: SVU‘s Casey Novak, will be departing as well. Neal took over in 2003 when the drama’s last ADA was supposedly killed. (It was later revealed that Alex Cabot was actually placed in the Witness Protection Program.)
Although it’s unclear if Neal, too, will go down in a blaze of glory, she is expected to be around for this season’s finale. Casting for her replacement has already begun.
