This week’s TV highlights
Hundreds of channels, hours and hours of programming. So much to watch, so little time. Here are some highlights to get you started on your week of viewing.
Sunday
“Desperate Housewives,” 8 p.m. on ABC — In the two-hour season finale, Lynette is accused of child abuse (last week she slapped that devil’s spawn she inherited from her hubby), Susan and Mike coo over their new baby, Gaby bonds with her drug-dealing housemate and Katherine’s secrets finally spill. Is Edie really gone? We doubt it.
“Academy of Country Music Awards,” 7 p.m. on CBS — Live from Las Vegas, Reba McEntire hosts the ceremony. Kenny Chesney leads the nominations with 12, and he’s scheduled to perform.
Monday
“Gossip Girl,” 7 p.m. on CW — Secrets revealed, cliffhangers posed on this first-season finale. A guilty pleasure? You bet!
“House,” 8 p.m. on Fox — Grumpy Dr. House continues to battle murky memories of the bus crash in the series’ fourth season finale.
“The Bachelorette,” 8 p.m. on ABC — Austin’s “Bachelor” Brad Womack dumped her, but now DeAnna gets to choose from 25 hunky contenders in her new summer series.
Tuesday
“Dancing with the Stars,” 8 p.m. on ABC — A new champ is crowned, the ugly mirror ball is bestowed.
“NCIS,” 7 p.m. on CBS — The fifth season of Mark Harmon’s crime drama comes to a two-hour conclusion.
Wednesday
“American Idol,” 7 p.m. on Fox — Hearts have been broken, careers have been made. Tonight the Battle of the Davids concludes with the crowning of either Archuleta or Cook as the new Idol. Be patient. It’s going to take two hours for the confetti to fall.
“Boston Legal,” 9 p.m. on ABC — The fourth season finale, praise be to ABC, will not be the series finale, which was the sad speculation before the last-minute renewal. Denny and Alan bid goodbye (for the summer) with one more cigar and Scotch on the balcony. Oh, and they allegedly get accepted into the Coast Guard.
Thursday
“Ugly Betty,” , 7 p.m. on ABC — The parade of gorgeous, fabulous guest stars continues with Supermodel Naomi Campbell on the show’s second season finale.
“Grey’s Anatomy,” 8 p.m. — In the fourth season finale, Meredith and Derek ponder their status.
Friday
“Meerkat Manor,” 7, 8 and 9 p.m. on Animal Planet — If you missed some of the domestic dramas of these real-life rodents, back-to-back episodes will help you catch up. And if you’ve never seen them, well, these mini-mongoose critters are totally adorable.
Saturday
“Austin City Limits,” 7 p.m. on PBS — Superstars R.E.M. take to the stage in an episode filmed during South by Southwest in March.
“Titanic,” 7 p.m. on TBS — This 1997 blockbuster holds up well, from the gorgeous theme song to the amazing, ship-sinking special effects to the enduring love story. Sigh.
