What to Watch…Wednesday, April 23, 2008

The more I think about it, the more I really like Wednesday night TV. There’s actually not much going on tonight, and I’m fine with that. Wednesday night is a carefree night of TV and it mentally prepares me for the overwhelming night of television on Thursday.

Tonight it’s just the reality shows for me. Let’s hope that my DVR actually records BIG BROTHER tonight. It didn’t last night, and it’s not like it was a major episode or anything. Oh wait, yes it was!!! It’s too nice outside to watch it online this morning so I had to do a quick read through. But come on…we are right at the finale, so NOT the time to stop recording. DCR is so on the naughty mat today.

American Idol | 9pm on Fox
Another dream is shattered tonight when the American public sends another AMERICAN IDOL contestant home. Who will be making the talk show circuit this week? In my mind it’s easily Brooke White going home. I’m thinking Brooke, Syesha and Jason in the bottom three. It’s getting down to the wire.

Big Brother 9 | 9pm on CBS
We are down to the final three in the BIG BROTHER house. It’s either going to be Ryan, Sheila or Adam taking home the big prize on Sunday night. Tonight we find out who will be in the final two. As you all know I’ve been pulling for Ryan since the very first episode, and no matter what happens I’m glad my boy made it this far. I think either of the guys can take Sheila in the end because she’s done nothing but run her mouth since day one. I truly believe that Ryan deserves to win over Adam, but Adam has got James running the Jury House and if it comes down to the two boys I think Baller’s going to win it all.

Law & Order | 10pm on NBC
“Burn Card”
Det. Green becomes the subject of an internal investigation, led by Det. Kevin Bernard (new series regular Anthony Anderson), after he is implicated in the shooting of a well-known hustler.

Also playing…

• America’s Next Top Model | 8pm on The CW: The models travel to Rome and film a commercial in Italian.

• Til Death | 8pm on Fox: After a pregnancy scare, Joy decides that Eddie should have a vasectomy. Meanwhile, Jeff catches a ball at a ball game and Eddie demands that he give it to the “disadvantaged” Kenny (J.B. Smoove). Dr. Park: Ken Jeong.

• Wife Swap | 8pm on ABC: A farm wife who homeschools her sons and isolates them from society swaps with a woman who lets her kids do whatever they want, including throwing parties for over 100 people.

• Deal or No Deal | 8pm on NBC: Players from New York and Minnesota gamble with their winnings by spinning the Deal Wheel, which can double or triple their cash—or cut it in half.

• Back to You | 8:30pm on Fox: Kelly and Chuck’s decision to tell Gracie the identity of her father is detoured by Kelly’s apprehension, which sends them to a therapist to sort out their issues with one another.

• Supernanny | 9pm on ABC: Jo helps a couple with three little girls (ages 4, 6 and 10) whose household order is undermined by the fact that the parents rarely spend the night in the same place, because they’re always playing “musical beds” with their children.

• Men in Trees | 10pm on ABC: Cash moves in with Marin and Jack while he recovers from his kidney transplant, and Mai moves in with Celia after leaving Buzz. Meanwhile, Buzz wants to win Mai back by paying her back, so he takes Patrick’s old job at the Elmo Inn.

That’s a lot of TV to choose from tonight.  What will YOU be watching? 

I’m not a reality TV snob at all, but sometimes the amount of reality TV depresses me.  I don’t want to be depressed so I’m heading to the beach.  An 80 degree day in April?  In Boston?  Yup my book and I are heading to the ocean.  Enjoy your day.
