Grey’s Anatomy (ABC) The only character I can almost stand, Izzie (Katherine Heigl), is going to die (read: get fired from the show), thus eliminating any chance I’ll ever try to watch Grey’s Anatomy again. Oh, who are we kiddin’? Wasn’t going to happen, anyway.
CSI, CSI: NY (CBS) While investigating a poker-chip scam, Langston (Lawrence Fishburne) throws down some deadly force—and he’s not even a real cop! On NY, a hostage situation puts a CSI’s life on the line! Oh, again?
My Name Is Earl, Parks & Recreation, The Office, 30 Rock (NBC) Earl & Co. get ready for cancellation and/or life on Fox; broke-leg Andy’s band rocks Pawnee; Holly’s back for the Dunder-Mifflin picnic; Sherri Shepherd, Sheryl Crow, Mary J. Blige, Elvis Costello and Clay Aiken drop by 30 Rock for no good reason—pure comedy!
Bones, Hell’s Kitchen (Fox) Motley Crue drop by for no good reason, and Booth bones Bones—pure dramedy! On Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsey chooses which chef will get the gig at a New Jersey casino restaurant … that’s the winner, right?
Smallville, Supernatural (The CW) Clark faces the tough decision to kill Doomsday, despite the fact that he’s, you know, Doomsday. On Supernatural, Sam and Dean attempt to stop a completely unrelated Satanic apocalypse. Damn, The CW’s dark on Thursdays.

Desperate Housewives (ABC) Honestly, I had no idea this was still on.
Survivor: Toncantins (CBS) The only Survivor contestant ever to match host Jeff Probst in pure smarm and douchebagnacity, “Coach,” wins. Just a guess. On the subsequent reunion special, Utah’s Tyson strangles Sierra. So really, everybody’s a winner.
Sit Down Shut Up, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy, American Dad (Fox) One of these won’t be back next season—not just a guess.
