Baadassssss Cinema (IFC) — An exploration of blaxploitation films featuring interviews with Samuel L. Jackson, Pam Grier, Melvin Van Peebles, and Quentin Tarantino, with clips from Shaft, Superfly, and Coffy.  Mmmmm… Pam Grier in 1973.

Mental (Fox) — A British guy stars as a doctor whose unorthodox methods are sometimes at odds with the hospital’s administration — specifically, his female boss.  Yup, it’s “House,” if House were a psychiatrist, nicer, and didn’t need a cane.

TV’s Fifty Funniest Phrases (NBC) — See?  I told you TV producers had gotten even lazier than bloggers.

Reaper (CW) — The show that I never watched or cared about airs its finale tonight after failing to get renewed.  Thanks to all those who spoke up and said they liked the show.  Your fandom will not be forgotten.  (Note: Your fandom will be forgotten.)

My Boys (TBS) — In the season finale, the gang goes down to Arizona for spring training.  Guest-starring Mike Fontenot, who is apparently a baseball player.

Diamonds (ABC) — Tonight is the second half of a miniseries about “a chain of events that occur after the daughter of a U.S. senator (Judy Davis) is killed in a massacre at an African diamond mine.”  Whoops, I missed the first part.  May as well tune out.

I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant (Discovery Health) — That’s the same thing my mom said to me when she recounted an oysters-and-champagne binge that kicked off her morning sickness during my in vitro period.  True story :(
