This Week on TV (10/20-10/26)

(You can view TV Envy’s Fall Television Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (10/20)
- Prison Break (FOX, 9pm): “Roland seethes at the treatment he has gotten from the gang since he lost the transcribing device in Las Vegas.” Thanks to his fine work, this show has just been dragged out longer than it needed to be.
- Gossip Girl (CW, 9pm): “Vanessa blackmails Blair, so Blair retaliates by asking Chuck to seduce Vanessa.” Sounds like somebody’s got some cruel intentions...
- 17 Kids and Counting (TLC, 10pm): “A look at how the thrifty Duggars save money on their clothing, food and heating bills.” Thankfully, I don’t plan on shopping for a family of 17, so there’s a lot more for me.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “A murder occurs in a trendy fashion boutique and during the investigation Horatio realizes that Julia is becoming increasingly unstable and volatile.” Had he taken his glasses off, he could have seen this coming sooner.
