Comments
Apart from the Monk finale, this looks like a fairly boring week. Any idea if they'll be running Part 1 of the finale before Part 2 on Friday? Not surprisingly, I forgot about it entirely.
They will be playing Part 1 of the Monk finale at 8pm on Friday, just before the new episode.
Monk should have really ended a few seasons ago, and I haven't watched it was seriousness in a long time, but I'm looking forward to tuning in to see the conclusion to Trudy's murder.
No offense, but your description of Law and Order SVU sounds like half of the SVU episodes aired to date.
I am looking forward to the Bones episode :)
