Earl Chicken PoxITEM # 212:  Make sure to play with sick children..

Although My Name is Earl has been picked up for at least another season,  a case of the chicken pox has halted production for about 3 weeks.  Despite all the scrapes and injuries Jason Lee may have endured as a former skateboarder, it appears that a common childhood illness is all it took to take the show’s star down.  Seems someone still needs to do a bit more work on their karma…

Jenna ElfmanFans are sure to rejoice at 9:30 PM tonight when Jenna Elfman returns to series comedy. The show, Courting Alex, is part of CBS’s push to expand its comedy repertoire. Courting Alex follows Elfman is a role that is quite a departure from her ditzy spin on Dharma and Greg, as a successful, single (of course!) attorney who is often the subject of her father’s attempts to pair her with the ‘perfect man.’ Beloved long-time actor Dabney Coleman plays Elfman’s father, so the show has no shortage of talent.

Here’s a question, though: why are successful women on TV so often single?

What's On TVAh…last night heralded the return of solid, non-weekend TV entertainment. Tonight, we recommend:

King of Queens and How I Met Your Mother, 8 and 8:30pm, CBS. Enjoy all-new episodes of these charming comedies.

Skating With Celebrities, 8pm, FOX. This wonderfully tacky show is sure to please reality lovers, with big drama unfolding tonight as the first couple is eliminated.

24, 9pm, FOX. Jack embarks on the 11:00am hour, fighting bad guys with a limited time to do it. Shocking plot, I know. This is your best bet for 9pm, though if you’re in a romantic mood, you may enjoy a repeat of ABC’s The Bachelor.

Medium, 10pm, NBC. The best show on television offers a new episode tonight, with Allison in a quandary trying to locate a missing boy who, in her visions, turns out to be a rather evil adult.

CSI: Miami, 10pm, CBS. Horatio battles gangs and ‘gators. 

The Bachelor, Paris, 10pm, ABC. Romantics will enjoy this new episode, but keep in mind: it doesn’t get much sweeter than Allison and Joe’s relationship on NBC’s Medium

DescriptionProving himself to be the biggest wet blankets in entertainment, the ever-obnoxious Tom Cruise has recently threatened to sue the popular comedy series South Park.

This is all due to an episode that features ‘Tom’ and implies that he is gay, a long-standing joke in Hollywood concerning the actor. Although American audiences saw the episode last year, the UK will not air it, for fear of legal action. Really, Tom needs to take it easy with the annoying antics. His movies aren’t that good.

Jason RitterIt runs in the family: Jason Ritter, son of the late John Ritter, will be testing his comedic genius. The CBS series, The Class, follows the adventures of Ritter’s character, Ethan, who throws a part for seven of his third-grade classmates. The party sets off a series of events that leads to the friends reconnecting with each other. Jason was brilliant in the dramatic role of Kevin Girardi, a paralyzed former sports star on Joan of Arcadia. It will be interesting to see how he does in comedy.  There’s no word yet on when the pilot will air, but we’re looking forward to it.
