What have you been watching this week (w/e 22 May)?

It’s fast approaching that time of year when TV gets really bad (ie “Summertime”) but just in case there’s been some good stuff (or bad stuff) on tele that everyone should be watching/not watching, leave a little note below to help your fellow TV watchers sort the chaff from the wheat.

This week, apart from numerous season finales I’ve already cast an eye over, I gave CSI: NY a try after three years (or something) since the last episode. For some reason, it ended up being set in Thessaloníki (or should I say ‘Thessaloníki’), rather than New York. Wasn’t desperately impressed by it, but hey ho, it’s always nice to see Louis Mandylor getting work.

Otherwise, it was The Daily Show and The Apprentice: surprised to see Ben go – I thought lippy Debs was for the chop this week after the rocking horse fiasco.

As always, no spoilers unless you’re going to use the <spoiler> </spoiler> tags, please? Ta!

Ah ABC. If only there was some language somewhere where ABC stood for “Night of the Long Knives”. Because you can pretty much guarantee that just about every show here is going to be cancelled by this time next year, just as last year’s got culled this week.

So prepare to not get too attached to: V, Flash Forward, Cougar Town, Eastwick, The Forgotten, Hank, Happy Town, The Middle and Modern Family. Argh. That’s a lot. It took me two hours to do this. I’m really not sure half these shows are worth two minutes.
