Daily Picks For Monday, February 18, 2008

by Miss Alli February 18, 2008 9:10 AM
A couple of finales (at least for now), a wrestling concept that must be seen to be believed, and a classic teen soap moment, on today's Going Through Channels.
BOOM?: Remember when Kimberly was about to blow up the complex and everybody else was on the verge of dying in various ways? The resolution of that cliffhanger comes about this morning on Melrose Place. (SoapNet, 11 AM)

Fatch-tastic: Not like a Law & Order marathon on TNT is anything out of the ordinary, but today's features a few choice eps, including Monica Keena and Peter "The Fatch" Facinelli's teen-sex-tape outing. (TNT, 11 AM)

Insert Distasteful "You Couldn't Take Silver With You?" Joke Here: Sars was kind enough to alert me that today's 5 PM 90210 rerun is the famous Dead Scott outing, in which the need to get rid of an extraneous tertiary character came together with the need to say something meaningful about how important it is not to leave guns lying around and the need to warn against the dangers of cowboy hats. And: Dead Scott. (SoapNet, 5 PM)

Original Version Alert: If you've seen the Lohan The Parent Trap on cable thousands of times, you might want to get your hands on the original Hayley Mills version. All the fun, none of the guilt and shame at what you know will happen to that adorable little child! (Hallmark, 6 PM)

Come On, Hillary Clinton!: I don't have a great argument for why you should watch the two-hour finale of Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann, since I'm pretty sure you haven't been watching it up to this point. But it does sound like they'll be announcing the new Dancing With The Stars lineup. So...there's that. (ABC, 8 PM)

Still Breaking Out Of Prison: In what I believe is the last Prison Break for a while, Michael and Linc are forced to go on without the slippery Whistler, who's been forced to go on without his bird book. (Fox, 8 PM)

Reader Contribution Alert: Courtesy of GTC reader Emily and her husband and their extreme amusement at random USA commercials, we can't not mention tonight's WWE Monday Night Raw, in which -- if the commercials can be believed -- Vince McMahon is going to have a cage match with his illegitimate midget son (don't email me; that's how they're promoting it), whose name is Hornswoggle. This is for real, and this is why you've got to send me your GTC suggestions at missalli at televisionwithoutpity dot com. (USA, 9 PM)

Like A Mouthful Of Metal: Brian Austin "David Silver" Green continues to be an enigma wrapped in a cheese log over on a new Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. (Fox, 9 PM)

Paterfalameous: I'm not sure in what order to catalog my objections to NBC's new game show, My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad. But I'll start with this one: don't be absurd; my dad is better than all your dads. (NBC, 9 PM)

Do Not Watch This: Pussycat Dolls something something. Ughalicious. (CW, 9 PM)
