What To Watch: May 27th


Your favorite shows are pretty much done for the year, but there is still plenty of programming on tonight to get you through your Tuesday evening. My picks when you demand more from the monkey.

If you're a New York sport person, the Yanks take on the Orioles on the YES Network at 7:05. For the rest of the country, the NBA Playoffs on TNT at 9pm to see the Lakers/Kobe take on the San Antonio Spurs.

If you're a reality show kind of monkey, you've got some choices, but I'd say Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations on the Travel Channel at 8pm is your highest class option - at least as high class as you can get watching Chef Tony curse while eating Vietnamese haggis. At 9pm, you can continue with the foodie theme by watching Hell's Kitchen on Fox, or you can switch gears completely and see what Bravo found lying around an editing bay to create The Real Housewives of New York City: The Lost Footage.

If you're a terrible human being, and are also into snuff films, then Fox has the show for you: Moment of Truth returns at 8pm.

If you're an awesome person, Rocky II is on WGN at 8pm. Eye of the Tiger, bitches.

If you like your commentary with a dash of snark and a side of smart, you can always fall back on the best one two punch there is: The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, back to back on Comedy Central starting at 8pm for the reruns, 11pm for the all new shows.

And if none of that interests you, may I recommend going to hulu.com and watching a show you've always meant to see, but never got around to. I've recently begun watching Bones from the beginning, and I have to say it's great. I'll be reviewing soon, in fact.

Go forth, my little TV Monkeys.
