Guest posters on the TV Blog this week
I’ll be away this week, but that doesn’t mean the TV Blog is going to subject you to reruns. TV never stops, and neither do we. Look for special guest posts from editors Sarah Beckham and Sharon Chapman; writer Joe Gross and others.
I’ll be back next week. Until then, keep track of the remote for me and don’t fall asleep on the couch.

This week’s TV picks
Monday:
‘Inside the Actors Studio’ 7 p.m., Bravo: Bon Jovi appears. The whole band. It’s official — the Actors Studio has officially run out of actors. I like Bon Jovi okay but, seriously, if I were Robert DeNiro, I would demand that James Lipton never air my episode again.
‘The Prisoner’ 7 p.m., AMC: Six, Two, 313, 11-12 … is this an AMC drama or ‘Monday Night Football?’ It’s a good thing this is just a miniseries, because it’s days are numbered.
‘Gossip Girl’ 8 p.m., The CW: Lady Gaga appears? Hmm … must be sweeps month.
Tuesday:
‘Merry Madagascar’ 7 p.m., NBC: The animated films’ characters jump into action when Carl Reiner’s Santa crashes onto their island. I hope Santa was just on a test run, NBC, because it’s not even Thanksgiving yet! On the plus side, my whole family is looking forward to NBC’s early December Valentine’s Day specials.
‘Ghost Lab’ 9 p.m., Discovery: Spooky stuff’s afoot in Waxahachie and Dallas.
Wednesday:
‘Modern Family’ 8 p.m., ABC: Edward Norton and Elizabeth Banks? Yep, it’s sweeps month.
‘Glee’ 8 p.m., FOX: The glee club is divided up again. Let’s see, first it was boys vs. girls, then minorities vs. non-minorities. Now they’ve been split into couples. Maybe next week Mr. Schuester will dissect them like frogs.
Thursday:
‘Fringe’ 8 p.m., FOX: Walter’s craving milkshakes. Of course he is. That must mean his body’s not getting enough of something. Oh, I know — ratings!
‘30 Rock’ 8:30 p.m., NBC: Al Gore. Did I mention it’s sweeps month?
‘Family Armor’ 9 p.m., TLC: This show looks at a vehicle-bulletproofing business here in Texas. Now why would we possibly need bulletproofing down here?
Friday:
‘Medium’ 8 p.m., CBS: When Allison becomes light sensitive, she dons sunglasses that show her mysterious numbers. Hmm … maybe she’s watching ‘The Prisoner.’
‘Bartender Wars’ 9:30 p.m., FLN: I’m not sure exactly what this show is about, but if it’s some kind of competition, I predict that somebody will get served.
Saturday:
‘Austin City Limits’ 7 p.m., PBS: Pearl Jam jams. You’d Vedder be watching!
Sunday:
‘2009 American Music Awards’ 7 p.m., ABC: Lady Gaga takes time off from guest-appearing on ‘Gossip Girl’ to join the 37th edition of this annual event. Will Taylor Swift repeat her CMA sweep? (It IS sweeps month!)
‘The Cleveland Show’ 7:30 p.m., FOX: Musical duo Hall and Oates have voice cameos. You know what month it is. I’m just sayin’.
