What to Watch…Monday, April 28, 2008

Um, I’m just wondering if the networks could jam more shows into our Monday night lineup? It’s night like these that warrants me having two DVRS (that and my sick obsession with TV). It’s pretty overwhelming.

Normally my Monday morning excitement is all for THE BIG BANG THEORY and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, but tonight we also have GOSSIP GIRL and the looooong awaited return of HOUSE!! Have I mentioned how happy I am that the WGA strike is over?!

There’s no way I can watch it all tonight – some is just going to have to wait until the morning.

This begs the question…which shows are YOU most interested in talking about on GMMR tomorrow. Please leave a comment and let me know.

Gossip Girl | 8pm on The CW

The guys buy a time-machine prop from a ’60s movie and Penny ridicules their preoccupation with toys, which forces Leonard to reexamine his life and maturity.

Dancing with the Stars | 8pm on ABC
A fifth week of performances. Did anyone see the kids from ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ perform the opening number on ‘Idol Gives Back’? If you did maybe you understand why I can’t sit through Priscilla Presley doing the fox trot. Well that and looking at her face. That’s just scary.

Paradise Hotel 2 | 9pm on My TV
“The Return of Raheim”
I guess there’s no spoiler alert needed here. My least favorite of all the hotel guests comes back when Raheim makes a dramatic return to settle a score with a friend who betrayed him. Who is this friend? Is it James? I’m so confused

Samantha Who? |9:30pm on ABC
“The Gallery Show”
Sam asks a complete stranger named Craig to Todd’s photo gallery show in order to prove to Todd that she’s over him. But is Craig as much of a stranger as Sam thinks he is? Meanwhile, one of Todd’s photos on display is a shot of Sam.

The Bachelor | 10pm on ABC
