I forgot East Bound and Down and Psych.
Damn you, television execs:
- First of all, a moment of praise for the finale season of The Shield. It has definitely set the bar for how you close out a drama.
- Now, a moment of silence for Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone.
- Shows that I can’t watch (at least live): The Reaper (Tuesdays at 9PM; CW) which sucks because I spent the whole summer catching up; House (Mondays at 8PM; FOX) which is Fringe and American Idol’s fault; Scrubs (Tuesdays at 9 PM; ABC) which sucks because a) it’s Zach Braff’s last season and b) word is the show is the best it has ever been; Chuck (Mondays at 8 PM; NBC) which I’ve rarely been able to watch live but I was hoping it got moved

8:00 - 8:30 PM: The Simpsons (FOX)
