Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Monday, January 30, 2012

The 100th episode of GOSSIP GIRL is finally here! I don’t even watch this show, yet I’m still excited to see how Blair’s wedding is going to turn out.

Not as excited for the royal wedding? Then check out what else is new tonight!

Who’s Still Standing | 8pm on NBC | Season Finale
“It Doesn’t Take a Rocket Scientist”
Kathyrn Ricketts, a therapist from Spokane, Washington, tests her knowledge against 10 opponents in a head-to-head trivia battle. If Ricketts defeats five of the contestants, then she has the opportunity to walk away with the amount she has won up to this point – or press her luck and try for the $1,000,000 grand prize. However, one wrong answer from Ricketts or one of her competitors, and they will be dropped through the floor and eliminated.

House | 8pm on Fox
“Runaways”
The team treats an underage and homeless female patient, but when her symptoms worsen and call for an invasive surgery requiring adult consent, House and Adams argue over whether they should contact social services. The patient confesses that she ran away from home after struggling to take care of her mother, a recovering drug addict. But when her mother appears at her bedside, a more complicated relationship is revealed and the patient’s mother must put the past aside and make the best decision for her daughter. Meanwhile, Taub has a difficult time connecting with his infant daughters and House threatens to exploit Foreman’s relationship with a married woman (guest star Yaya DaCosta).

The Bachelor | 8pm on ABC
“Episode 1605”
Traveling outside the U.S. for the first time this season, Ben whisks the 11 remaining bachelorettes to the Caribbean paradise of Puerto Rico. Nicki is the lucky recipient of the first individual date card, and she can’t wait. Their romantic tryst is amplified by an unexpected thunderstorm and a local wedding. A trip to the legendary Roberto Clemente Baseball Stadium proves the mettle of nine of the women, as they challenge their physical limits to compete for extra time with Ben. Elyse captures the other one-on-one date as she and Ben take an intimate ocean tour aboard a luxury yacht, but it’s not all smooth sailing when Elyse decides to let her walls down. However, Courtney makes a provocative suggestion to Ben about a sizzling rendezvous. But will he take her up on her secret proposition to skinny dip together, and will the other women find out?

Gossip Girl | 8pm on The CW
“G.G.”
The much-anticipated 100th episode will open with a musical dream sequence featuring Serena, Blair and all the men in their lives. Also, while Chuck wrestles with the reality that Blair is about to walk down the aisle with Prince Louis, the return of Georgina Sparks might make the royal affair a royal disaster. [Have you seen what Josh Safran and Stephanie Savage had to say about the 100th episode?]

So much more. Keep reading…

FRINGE Recap: ‘Forced Perspective’

In many ways, FRINGE’s “Forced Perspective” is the most difficult episode of the season to write about (so far). With the big “mythology” episodes, you can pick apart what we’ve learned, what has shifted, etc., etc.

“Forced Perspective” was probably the most stand-alone episode we’ve had of the season, both in terms of barely touching upon the issue of Peter wanting to get home (the men of FRINGE weren’t in the episode very much) and also not revealing any new information to us. Obviously, Olivia learned a bit more about the Observers thanks to Peter, but that was information we as an audience found out in the previous seasons.

But there are a few things about the episode that warrant some further discussion…

Chucksters vs. The Goodbye

How do you say goodbye to something that has been a big part of your life for five years? That’s the question all longtime viewers of NBC’s CHUCK are asking themselves right now.

How can a mere television show mean so much to a group of people? Notice I didn’t use the word fans? If you’ve been with the show since the night of September 24, 2007 when CHUCK first aired, then you’re more than a fan; you’re part of the family. That’s what we’ve become — strangers with a common devotion that have melded into a family, a support system, a group of modern day Literati.

CHUCK: Chris Fedak Teases the Series Finale

It’s been five years, tons of nerdy references, plenty of Subway product placement and many finales that could have doubled as show-enders, but CHUCK will finally get to say a proper good-bye with its series finale tonight.

“It’s also an emotional time, these last couple days [of filming],” CHUCK co-creator Chris Fedak told a few reporters (including yours truly), who were on set back in December for the second-to-last day of production. “This show’s been a great experience for all of us. I’ve done so much that in 91 episodes it’s kind of hard to go, ‘Oh my God, it’s coming to an end.'”

While we’re not going to spoil what happens in these episodes, Fedak was willing to tease a little bit about what fans could expect in the special two-hour finale…

Is WHITE COLLAR’s Matt Bomer Headed to GLEE?

Color me intrigued — according to TVLine, WHITE COLLAR star Matt Bomer is thisclose to signing on to guest star in an April episode of GLEE…to play Blaine’s brother! (Fox has not responded to our request for comment at this time.)

In the fourteen-plus months Blaine has been on the GLEE canvas, we’ve yet to meet any of his family, so I wonder what prompts the introduction now…

What do you think of Bomer playing an Anderson brother?
