What have you been watching this week (w/e 1 May)?

So what’s been good and what’s been bad on the box this week, guys?

Obviously we caught the Heroes and Chuck finales, and we’ve been watching The Apprentice (Ben clearly is going to get chucked out at some point, although Nurul was a bit useless this week, but how about that Debra slamming down Nick? Blimey). Lost was slightly ruined for me this week by the Chicago Tribune’s Watcher putting the ending in the first paragraph, but a good ep all the same. But that, and The Daily Show, has been about it. You?

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

Time once again for your television recommendations/discommendations of the week? Anything good been on? Anything bad make you want to wash your eyeballs?

Been a little bit too busy to watch much TV this week, and I’ve a bit of a backlog to work my way through, but I would say they’d better be kidding about the ending of this week’s 24 in a double/treble-bluff sort of way or else the best season of the show so far has just gone to pants. And wasn’t the ending of House this week… odd?

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
