House, The Event, and The Bachelorette

What to watch on Monday, May 23.

You probably didn't know this, but every time you leave the house your television weeps; it just SOBS from loneliness and neglect. Maybe tonight you should try and make it up to your television. A hug, a tennis bracelet—something.


SEASON 7 FINALE, 8pm, Fox
House
In tonight's season finale, crazy talented Shohreh Aghdashloo guest-stars as a performance artist who may or may not be faking an illness. Plus House jeopardizes his relationships with Wilson and Cuddy—which, if you read the trades, you know at least one of whom won't be around next year. Just a little thing I like to call "inside scoop."

SEASON 7 PREMIERE, 8pm, CBS
The Bachelorette
America's most compelling cycle of tragedy continues as Bachelor Brad's #1 reject, Ashley Herbert, sets out on her own path of tawdry contrivance. Tune in to see Ashley sort through 25 new bachelors, including a man in a mask and someone she already knows. Seven will get the boot.


SERIES FINALE, 9pm, NBC
The Event
Okay. So. Tonight there MAY or MAY NOT be an "event." It may or may not involve a portal, a virus, an alien power struggle and/or partly obscured faces. But it DEFINITELY will involve the cancellation of the most frustrating failure of the 2010-2011 television season. Yeah, I said it. Sorry Tim!

ORIGINAL MOVIE, 9pm, HBO
Too Big to Fail
HBO remains unrivaled when it comes to high-class, highly entertaining dramatizations of otherwise-boring current events, and the tradition continues tonight as Curtis Hanson directs this biting portrayal of the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis. Okay, HBO, just as long as there's nudity!

10pm, Discovery Fit & Health
World's Worst Teens
Perhaps you are interested in learning about a 14-year-old boy who's prone to violence while STONED? Or, maybe you'd rather just turn off the television and check in with your loved ones, maybe see how their hopes and dreams are going? I can't make that decision for you.
