MONDAY (10/27)
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): “Angela asks Sylar to save Peter.” As if anyone believes that Peter - or anyone else - would really die at this point.
- Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 9pm): “The Gosselins get ready for a trip to Hawaii, where Jon and Kate will renew their wedding vows.” This time around, they’ll be paying to feed 8 more guests.
- One Tree Hill (CW, 9pm): “Lucas’ second novel proves successful.” Let’s see if we can say the same for Chad Michael Murray‘s second wedding.
- My Own Worst Enemy (NBC, 10pm): “Edward’s trip to Mexico to gain intel on Russian weaponry doesn’t go as planned.” Nothing about this show is going as planned.
- 90210 (CW, 8pm): “Annie sets up a non-date with Ethan for the homecoming dance.” A non-date? Just one more reason to make a non-recording of the show.
- NCIS (CBS, 8pm): “During the week of Halloween, a killer uses the internet to leave the clues about the identity of his next victim.” Who doesn’t love a holiday-themed scavenger hunt?
- Gavin and Stacey (BBC, 8:40pm): “Stacey’s tired of living at Pamela and Mick’s, so she and Gavin go apartment hunting with an overenthusiastic real estate agent.” I think “overenthusiastic” would describe any agent at this point.
- Dirty Jobs (Discovery, 9pm): “A bait-store visit has the host catching leeches.” Does one really “catch” leeches? Don’t they typically catch you?
WEDNESDAY (10/29)
- Barack Obama Political Message (CBS/FOX/NBC, 8pm): Barack Obama purchased 30 minutes of time to win over voters just days before the election. I guess if you’ve got the money, flaunt it?
- Dirty Sexy Money (ABC, 10pm): “Nick and Lisa attend couples therapy.” Oh thank goodness. Is someone finally going to discuss their lack of chemistry?
- Real World/ Road Rules Challenge (MTV, 10pm): “The final 8 contestants race to the island to claim the $300,000 grand prize in the season finale.” Question: How can Road Rules challenges still exist when the show doesn’t?
- Top Design (Bravo, 10pm): “Realty-reality figure Jeff Lewis (Flipping Out) serves as the guest judge in Part 1 in the two-part season finale.” The contestants will know they’ve done a good job if Lewis hasn’t rearranged their furniture.
THURSDAY (10/30)
- The Office (NBC, 9pm): “Halloween gets tricky for Pam when she’s the only one at corporate wearing a costume.” It’s time like these when the Scranton office seems appealing.
- 30 Rock (NBC, 9:30pm): Season premiere. “Liz hopes to adopt a child, but first she must impress an adoption evaluator (Megan Mullaly).” Maybe if she changes her name to Sarah Palin, she’ll have a better chance.
- It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX, 10pm): “Charlie and Mac take corporate jobs to get health insurance.” Shoot - they could have just applied at Starbucks.
- ER (NBC, 10pm): “Neela is surprised by a visit from Ray Barnett.” Shane West, unlike Clooney, knows he could use the gig.
FRIDAY (10/31)
- Ghost Whisperer (CBS, 8pm): “Melinda tries to learn why the ghost of a high-school athlete is following a family that is not her own.” There’s nothing more pathetic than a wasted haunting.
- Supernanny (ABC, 9pm): “After financial troubles contribute to the end of a 12-year-marriage, a single mom juggles a hectic work schedule while trying to raise six kids, who have been harder to control due to a lack of parental supervision.” This woman could use Jo Frost and Suze Orman’s help.
- 666: Searching for Satan (WE, 9pm): “An examination of Satan’s alleged influence on the crimes of infamous killers including the Son of Sam, Charles Manson and a cannibal in Paris.” Where’s the Church Lady when you need her?
- The Starter Wife (USA, 10pm): “Rodney learns the pitfalls of having a secret boyfriend.” Secret relationships = no real gifts.
SUNDAY (11/2)
- The Simpsons (FOX, 8pm): “The 19th edition of the Treehouse of Horror franchise includes twisted parodies of Transformers and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” Poor Charlie. He can never get a break.
- Brotherhood (SHOW, 8pm): Season 3 premiere. “With her birthday approaching, Rose tries to cover up her deteriorating health.” Cue the plastic surgery.
- Dexter (SHOW, 9pm): “Rita gets fired from her job and starts to question her career path.” Has she considered being a serial killer’s apprentice?
- Purity Balls (TLC, 9pm): “An inside look at purity balls, formal events where fathers pledge to protect their daughters’ purity.” I’m not sure I want to know how that’s done.
