MONDAY (12/10)
- I Want a Dog, Charlie Brown (ABC, 8pm): “Linus and Lucy’s little brother, Rerun, hangs with Snoopy and his own sibling, the desert-dwelling Spike.” Was I the only one not aware of the What’s Happening!/Peanuts crossover episode?
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8pm): “Ted asks his doctor on a date and his friends try to discourage him from dating someone he sees regularly.” Relationships clearly work best when you never see them at all.
- Notes from the Underbelly (ABC, 9:30pm): “Lauren tries to convince her sister to move to LA so she can be nearby when the baby is born.” Lauren’s sister isn’t stupid. She knows what ‘be nearby’ means.
- The Hills (MTV, 10pm): Season finale. “Lauren gets an offer to go to Paris.” I really hope MTV doesn’t take their version of quality programming overseas (again). The French hate us already.
TUESDAY (12/11)
- Shrek the Halls (ABC, 8pm): A repeat of the ABC hit. I must admit, I’ve watched the ‘Santa Claws’ segment several times via Tivo already. (You gotta love that Puss.)
- Deal or No Deal (NBC, 8pm): “A Broadway performer and a 16-piece orchestra cheer on a Utah woman.” When will this show finally get around to sporting costumes like Let’s Make a Deal?
- Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too! (ABC, 8:30pm): “Winnie fouls up the delivery of his friends’ lists to Santa, so he masquerades as Mr. Claus to make their dreams come true.” They all better love honey.
- Nip/Tuck (FX, 10pm): “Sean tries to recapture his youth through a relationship with Eden.” Oh no. Every time he does something like that, someone ends up getting hit by a bus.
WEDNESDAY (12/12)
- Kid Nation (CBS, 8pm): Season finale. I’m not sure which was louder: the controversy this show started with or the thud it ended with.
- America’s Next Top Model (CW, 8pm): Season finale. CoverGirl is hoping to finally recruit a spokesmodel without an annoying accent.
- Pushing Daisies (ABC, 8pm): Actor Paul Reubens returns to handle an ‘aroma-related inquiry’. Maybe Pee-wee should recruit his dog, Spot, to help him out!
- Crowned: Mother of All Pageants (CW, 9pm): Series premiere. “Mother-daughter teams compete in a series of beauty-pageant challenges.” I can’t wait to see the tag team hair-pulling.
THURSDAY (12/13)
- Survivor (CBS, 8pm): “Some of the castaways enjoy a feast on the Great Wall of China.” Their stinky presence is blamed for a drop in Chinese tourism.
- 30 Rock (NBC, 9pm): Special time. “The staffers celebrate the holidays with a party—which comes complete with a lusty Santa.” This is an upgrade from the lushy Santas of yesteryear.
- Saturday Night Live Christmas (NBC, 9:30): I’m predicting the Justin Timberlake segment will be played at least three times in this 90-minute show.
- What Perez Says in 2007 (VH1, 10pm): Enough of the holiday good will. I’m looking forward to hearing Perez Hilton tell it like it really is.
FRIDAY (12/14)
- It’s a Wonderful Life (NBC, 8pm): The annual airing of the beloved classic. Thanks to the writer’s strike, it will now air daily as well.
- Men in Trees (ABC, 8pm): “Jane throws out Sam’s favorite shirt.” Ooh. This is definitely a controversial episode. I could easily see both their sides.
- Women’s Murder Club (ABC, 9pm): “Cindy tries to find some new evidence to gain the Club’s respect.” I had no idea this show was so catty. Can the ‘club’ blackball her too?
- Numb3rs (CBS, 10pm): “A former FBI subcontractor guns down an agent inside the agency’s HQ and takes a member of Don’s team hostage.” Methinks somebody’s number is up. (I just had to say that.)
SUNDAY (12/16)
- Survivor (CBS, 8pm): Season finale and reunion show. Will Todd admit to pulling a Jonny Fairplay? Will the lunch lady returns sans mullet?
- Extras (HBO, 9pm): ‘The Extra Special Series Finale’. What? Both George Michael and Gordon Ramsay will guest-star?? I really need to get HBO again.
- Dexter (Showtime, 9pm): Season finale. Why haven’t I watched this show yet? That’s right—because I just can’t get sucked into another series.
