What’s Hot On TV Tonight - Two Season Finales
Tonight we have two season finales, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Friday Night Lights. Is it me or are season finales happening sooner? Did that’ used to be in May, or am I getting all mixed up because that’s when reality shows from the winter end? It just seems like there are no tried and true rules anymore.
1. Rachael Ray. Rachael cooks an Easter dinner, prepares deviled eggs (yum!), and has Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus on as guests, obviously promoting the movie that I don’t think will do well, as girls really aren’t caring too much about Hannah Montana these days. Syndicated, check local listings.
2. Tyra Banks. As proof girls don’t care as much about Hannah Montana these days, Miley and Billy Ray are also appearing on Tyra, as Miley talks about her autobiography. Syndicated, check local listings.
What’s Hot On TV Tonight - Murder or Accidental Drowining?
I’m not sure I understand the convoluted-ness of the case on 20/20 tonight, but it certainly sounds fascinating. The question is if the woman drowned accidentally in her bathtub or whether her adulterous husband murdered her. There are more relationships and murder on Dateline NBC. And if you want more convoluted relationships, check out Demi Moore getting offered a cool million to spend the night with Robert Redford in Indecent Proposal.
1. The Bonnie Hunt Show. Guests today are Jordana Brewster, and Cheryl Burke and Gilles Marini from DWTS. Are they being pushed on us or something? This is their second talk show appearance this week. Syndicated, check local listings.
2. The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Okay. Now we have another DWTS pair on Ellen today, L’il Kim and Derek Hough. Marilu Henner and Martina McBride are on as well. Did you see Henner on the ER finale last night as the mother-in-law? Syndicated, check local listings.
3. Indecent Proposal. I don’t care how hard up we were for cash, I can’t see staking $1 million to spend a night with some creep from a casino. Not even Robert Redford. 1:30 PM WE
4. Bedazzled. I might take a million to spend the night with Brendan Fraser. I like the characters he goes into here on behalf of Elizabeth Hurley, the devil. 3:20 PM WMax
5. Howie Do It. A man in a bunny suit wishing someone a happy birthday is mistaken for a murder suspect, and so close to Easter yet, some people are set up with taste tests, then learn the truth of what they’ve eaten, Vic asks questions that are annoying, and a grave decision is made by a TV judge. 7:00 PM CT NBC

The woman had just reconciled with her husband after he ended an affair. The wife knew about and approved of the affair, yet also had premonitions about her death. The husband is now married to “the other woman.” 9:00 PM CT ABC

What’s Hot On TV Tonight - More Economy Discussion
I have no money, I know I have no money, and I know I don’t have any bright prospects of having any money, so this constant discussion on newsmagazine shows explaining why I don’t have any money is really bringing me down. It’s almost like they say, “Gee, no news for this week’s show. Don’t worry about it; we’ll just talk about the economy again.” 20/20 puts us through yet another hour of it tonight. I think I’ll stick with Dateline NBC and the financial advisor that faked his own death. Somehow it’s not as depressing.
1. Oprah Winfrey. Kelly Clarkson performs, and Oprah’s Friday regulars discuss “hot topics.” Syndicated, check local listings.
2. An Officer and a Gentleman. It’s funny, but we think about this as a really romantic movie, because of the song and the last scene, but some of that stuff in the middle was anything but. 10:30 AM CT AMC
3. NCAA BAsketball Tournament: First Round Games. Featured are Austin/Syracuse, Arizona St./Temple, Oklahoma/St./Tennessee, East Tennessee St./Pittsburgh, Kansas/North Dakota St., Dayton/West Virginia, Marquette/Utah St., Cornell/Missouri. 11:10 AM CT CBS
4. Jurassic Park. Steven Spielberg and Michael Crichton came together for this movie that capitalized on the dinosaur craze at the time. Or maybe it’s that the craze was created from the movie. It stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. 4:45 PM CT OutMax
What’s Hot On TV Tonight - Siegfried and Roy Onstage Again
It’s been six years since the 2003 mauling of Roy by one of his and Siegfried’s tigers. Last weekend they had a farewell performance in Las Vegas, and ABC was there to film it for 20/20. Interested to see if Roy will still get close to the tigers? My guess is he will. Tune in tonight to find out.
1. Twister. It’s March with In like a lion and out like a lamb, and it’s time for bad weather. Well, okay, we’ve had bad weather the whole time, but it’s time for different bad weather like Twisters. Find out more about this movie at Sazze. 12:00 PM CT TBS
2. The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Jason Mesnick and Molly are on to answer Melissa’s claims from yesterday. It’s kind of turning into a he said/she said thing, so today will be very interesting. Syndicated, check local listings.

What’s Hot On TV Tonight – Hostages Tell All
20/20 looks like one not to miss tonight as they feature men that had been held hostage in Columbia for five years. In Colombia? I think they need to get Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner on the case. Great movie, by the way.
The View. Guests today are Rob Lowe and Jason Mesnick from The Bachelor. I don’t think Jason even needs to do press for the finale on Monday. We’re already on the edge of our seats. 10:00 AM CT ABC
Fracture. Anthony Hopkins is superb as usual in this as a guy who murders his adulterous wife in cold blood, then dares her lover, the lead detective on the scene, to prove he did it. Find out more about this psychological thriller at Sazze. 11:15 AM CT THMax East
Surf’s Up. Surprisingly good animated movie about a surfing penguin. Find out more about the story at Sazze. 12:20 PM CT Starz4
What’s Hot On TV Tonight - One More Late Night With Conan O’Brien
It’s our last chance to see Late Night With Conan O’Brien tonight, our last time to see him in this show, and our last time until after Memorial Day to see him at all. Assumably he’s spending that time to get ready for his takeover on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. A lot of people have definite opinions on this move, but I’m not really sure how I feel. Unlike some, I’ve liked Conan since his very raw beginning. I just love his creative humor that doesn’t have to slap you in the face to be funny. I’m interested to see how he brings it to a more mainstream audience. In the meantime, Conan, it’s been a slice.
1. Oprah Winfrey. Oprah, Gayle King, Mark Consuelos, and Ali Wentworth provide interviews with Oscar nominees. Syndicated, check local listings.
2. Regis and Kelly. Taylor Hicks continues his appearance with “Dating With the Stars”, and his old judge Randy Jackson makes an appearance, as does Selma Blair. Syndicated, check local listings.

4. Herbie: Fully Loaded. Certainly not an Oscar winner, but it’s Lindsay Lohan’s starring role before she became nothing more than a gossip headline. 4:00 PM CT Disney XD

6. Howie Do It. Howie’s assistant steals TV show ideas from someone else, a new assistant’s first job is to fire someone else, Howie pretends to be a ticket agent who doesn’t like to give out tickets after they’re paid for, and Vic gets annoying to people on the street. 7:00 PM CT NBC
