7:00 pm 60 Minutes (CBS) -> The most esteemed and best rated newsmagazine.

8:00 pm Monk (NBC) -> Monk on Sundays is a real treat.

10:02 pm Brothers & Sisters (ABC) -> Seems like eons since this series has been on...I've almost forgotten what was going on. How come no clip show, ABC?

Saturday

Any NHL or NBA playoff action of interest

Sunday

The WGN Anniversary (grew up in Chicago)

NHL/NBA playoff action


Ratings Watch: The return of Brothers & Sisters. The show did well in the fall, had a few low rated airings without the DH lead in the winter, and things seem to be a bit quiet on this front. Its return may be a bit down but should be adequate. This has been a very stable pairing at a time when such pairings are difficult to come by.

Big Brother
Desperate Housewives
Catch up on Eli Stone. Just two eps left for me to see and its really getting good!
