Tonight on the tube: Baseball continues, Mad Men ends season

AMC

AMC

5:00p/4:00 Central

  • The CW starts off their long farmed out Sunday night with a 4Real repeat featuring Casey Affleck. That’s followed by a new 4Real features Mos Def visiting the City of God outside Rio de Janeiro.

6:00p/5:00 Central

  • Stick with The CW for a repeat performance of the series premiere of Valentine. See, apparently everybody missed it the first time around. Are you going to miss it again? It’s okay, so am I.

7:00p/6:00 Central

  • CBS’s 60 Minutes explores credit default swaps, T. Boone Pickens mission to reduce our dependency on foreign oil, Greg Carr’s mission to bring more tourism to the poorest parts of Africa.
  • NBC offers up Football Night in America, recapping last week’s action but won’t have NLF Sunday Night Football tonight due to the World Series. If that depresses you, you can always tune into ABC’s America’s Funniest Home Videos. Apparently shots to the crotch are still funny.
  • On The CW, a new In Harm’s Way looks at land mine clearance. Talk about a tough job, you can’t pay me enough to walk a minefield looking for mines … What’s that? Oh they don’t– Oh. Technology. Yeah, that would work better.

8:00p/7:00 Central

  • Who gets in trouble with the law? Who’s willing to lie on sacred ground? Tonight we find out on CBS’s The Amazing Race. I have some theories on both!
  • With the Phillies up 2-1 on the Rays, World Series Game 4 kicks off tonight on FOX. But I know a lot of you aren’t really baseball fans. Maybe you’d rather get deep into the heads of upcoming boxing bouts. HBO has a new 24/7 series just getting started at the half hour. Calzaghe/Jones 24/7 promises more in-depth coverage of what it’s like to prepare for a massive battle in the ring.
  • Not a sports fan at all? Well, I’ll bet you watched that Valentine premiere a couple of hours ago, right? Then how about settling in for the fourth episode of Valentine on The CW … Wat a minute. You re-air the pilot, then skip an hour to air In Harm’s Way and then give us the fourth episode. No wonder the night is failing. You should have marathoned the first three before this and made it a special Valentine night on The CW. With production halted, you can afford to hold back some of your unscripted fare. You may need it to fill the schedule later.
  • For more inspirational fare, flip over to ABC and watch as Ty and the gang spruce up a dilapidated house so a 10-year old leukemia survivor can come home on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition; it’s just not safe for him the way it is.
  • NBC picked a smart movie to throw on for all those football fans who don’t realize it’s not on with The 40-Year Old Virgin.

9:00p/8:00 Central

  • Honestly, I don’t know if I can go on. WE’s Bridezillas has its fifth season finale tonight and I don’t know how to live without it. Sure, The History Channel is premiering the third run of Cities of the Underworld, Tonight they take us beneath the streets of London, one of the most storied cities in the world. But how does that compare to crazy bitches trying to ruin their wedding day?
  • I may just skip the whole thing and watch Dexter instead. Maybe I could hire him to kill the bridezilla? And while he’s at it the women of VH1’s Rock of Love: Charm School.
  • Is anyone watching The CW’s Easy Money? I bet more and more people are getting mired in the world of payday loans these days, but that may just turn them off the idea of watching a drama based around the people making money off of their struggles.
  • The Biography Channel contines Watching the Detectives tonight for real police drama. For fake police drama, CBS’s Cold Case opens the vault on a 1951 case regarding a solder who was found dead after being declared AWOL.
  • Susan throws a surprise part for Mrs. McClusky on ABC’s Desperate Housewives, as secrets of the five year gap are revealed. In much different dramatic fare, Sookie uses her powers to help a vampire sheriff (and a ton of other stuff happens) on HBO’s True Blood.

10:00p/9:00 Central

  • Okay, WE. I forgive you. You’re taking away my Bridezillas, but you’re giving me a new wedding show tonight in My Fair Wedding. I love wedding shows. There aren’t nearly enough of them on television. This show basically brings in a team of professionals to fix those Bridezillas weddings.
  • Lifetime’s Army Wives has its season finale next Sunday. AMC’s Mad Men has its tonight. With Sterling Cooper in play, and Don absent, who knows how the chips may fall in this second season finale. Remember the jump they took after the first season?
  • Tonight’s Female Forces are “Ready to Rumble” on The Biography Channel (which I guess means biography/reality shows about cops now), while the female forces on E!s The Girls Next Door spruce up the Mapleton house before throwing a housewarming party for the new girls moving in.
  • Hank Moody is single again on Showtime’s Californication. So he moves into Lew’s mansion and is set up on a sex date with a celebrity chef. BAM!? Hopefully, that’s not the next The Chef Jeff Project on Food Network. He’s supposed to be inspiring and helping young people.
  • Kevin gets together with Scotty’s parents (AWKward!) while Rebbecca discovers a file on Ryan Lafferty in her mother’s possession on ABC’s Brothers & Sisters. From family drama to high school drama, Sid takes center stage on BBC America’s newest chapter in the Skins saga. Tonight, Sid needs Tony to be there for him when he suspects Cassie of cheating, but is Tony capable of such a thing?
  • The Discovery Channel’s Storm Chasers keep on chasing tornadoes while the team on CBS’s The Unit chases information on an imminent terrorist attack.
  • Oh, and if you watch and love Steve Carell in The 40-Year Old Virgin tonight, stick around for a repeat of the “Business Ethics” episode of The Office on NBC. I promise, it’s funny stuff!
  • Turtle scores a seat next to Jamie-Lynn Sigler in first class, but did he really score? The boys of HBO’s Entourage aren’t buying it. Then, there’s just too many bits on Little Britain USA over on HBO to even get into them. It’s sketch comedy, you know how this works!

11:00p/10:00 Central

  • HBO continues it’s comedy block with the animated The Life & TImes of Tim. Helpful tip: don’t give a bra store salesman a photo of your girl so he can try to help gauge her boob size. That’s just weird.
