This week’s TV picks
By Dale Roe
American-Statesman Staff
Monday: “Studio E!” 7 p.m., E!: Another pop culture TV magazine premieres tonight, and the few remaining actual non-TV magazines sigh deeply.
Tuesday: “Ellen DeGeneres: The Mark Twain Prize” 7 p.m., PBS: Jimmy Kimmel, Lily Tomlin and others honor the comic talk show host in Washington, D.C.
“19 Kids and Counting” 8 p.m., TLC: It’s Michelle’s birthday. Seriously, there’s got to be major panic in that house whenever somebody yells, “surprise!”
“Doomsday Preppers Bugged Out” 7 p.m., NGC: A guy stockpiles fish antibiotics. Yeah, the world’s ending, but at least his guppies can fend off strep throat.
“Animal Intervention” 8 p.m., NGWild: It surprises me that a man has trouble looking after his pet Bengal tiger because, seriously — if I had one in my house, I guarantee you that I would never take my eyes off it.
Wednesday: “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” 7 p.m., ABC: “I got a rock.”
“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” 8 p.m., Bravo: Yes, it’s a rerun. But it’s Halloween, and this was the scariest show I could find.
“Face Off Live” 9 p.m., Syfy: Season 3’s winner is named during tonight’s live season finale.
Thursday: “46th Annual CMA Awards” 7 p.m., ABC: Yee-haw! Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley host.
“The Big Bang Theory” 7 p.m., CBS: Sheldon gets into it with Stephen Hawking over a game of “Words with Friends.”
Friday: “Last Man Standing” 7 p.m., ABC: Season 2 begins with a voting controversy which is not, surprisingly, “should we bring this show back for a second season?”
“Malibu Country” 7:30 p.m., ABC: They said, “California is the perfect place for you,” so she packed up her guitar and she moved to Malibu. Reba, that is.
Saturday: “How the States Got Their Shapes” 9 p.m., H2: I heard California went all Paleo and Pilates.
Sunday: “Once Upon a Time” 7 p.m., ABC: Emma and Captain Hook climb up a beanstalk. Seriously, somebody dropped the 3x5 plotting cards and reordered them too quickly.
“The Next Iron Chef” 8 p.m., Food: Season 5 kicks off with the chefs on a beach. I hope their secret ingredient is at least 15 SPF.
