(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)
MONDAY (3/17)
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Tonight’s Season 6 premiere focuses only on the men. I think it’s safe to say Julianne Hough won’t be making it a three-peat with Adam Carolla.
- The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8pm): New episode. “Sheldon and Leonard are asked to a physics conference to present their work together.” I’ve always wondered - if this show were to air on any other day, would it be half as successful?
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): New episode. “Ted decides to live life like Barney on St. Patrick’s Day.” You don’t want to know what they use as their lucky charms.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): New episode. “Charlie teaches Alan how to break up with a woman.” I hear hiring prostitutes can make a woman leave you.
- The Bachelor (ABC, 9:30): Season 12 premiere. “Bachelor Matt Grant, a 27-year-old British financier, meets his 25 would-be soul mates.” Apparently in America, you can finally afford to woo twice as many women as you can in the UK.

MONDAY (3/3)
- The Royal Family (ABC, 8pm): Barbara Walters hosts a special that documents a year in the lives of the British royal family. Wow - they’re letting people get to know them better? That’s such a Diana move.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX, 8pm): “In the two-hour finale, John and Derek are at odds over whether Cameron can be trusted.” Meanwhile, I’m still trying to figure out whether I’ll miss the show.
- Welcome to the Captain (CBS, 8:30): “Marty gets Josh an interview with the president of Paramount.” At least one of them will have a job when the show’s cancelled.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS, 9:30): “Matthew goes to therapy to discuss intimacy issues and learns he is too dependent on his sister.” Did anyone else shudder when they read that sentence?

compilation of the 2008 post-strike schedulesfor the five major networks. I would highly recommend printing this out since there are major changes across the board.
Two notes:
- This is the updated schedule as of May 6. Be prepared to see more changes and settling in the weeks to come.
