Whats Hot On TV

There’s quite a few things on tonight that we’ve been waiting for. For one, ER finally begins its swan song. I need to savor every single one of these episodes. For another, Survivor is back with a two hour season premiere. We just miss you when you’re not on, Probst.

1. Oprah Winfrey. Unusual dogs are on the show today, including the ugliest dog in the world. They don’t even have to be unique. Just dogs in general are enough to get my attention. Syndicated, check local listings.

2. The Holiday. This is just a great romantic comedy. You’d expect to see Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, and Jude Law in a movie like this, but Jack Black? And the most surprising thing? He was completely charming here! 8:30 AM CT Encore 6

3. Rachel Ray. Jeff Probst, host of Survivor, season opener tonight, makes an appearance and puts soap stars through a challenge. Any excuse to see Probst is good, and this means we don’t have to wait until tonight. Syndicated, check local listings.

4. The Bonnie Hunt Show. Diane Lane and Richard Gere make an appearance together promoting their film that opens tomorrow, Nights In Rodanthe. They’ve been promoting this movie all over this week, but Bonnie’s show is the first where they appear together. Also appearing, Matt Grant from The Bachelor. I want to hear what he says about his breakup with Shayne and if he finally go that ring back or not. Check back in later today as What’s Hot On TV will be featuring a contest with a Bonnie Hunt/Nights In Rodanthe Prize Pack. Syndicated, check local listings.

5. The Ellen deGeneres Show. Eric Dane, aka Dr. McSteamy, from Gray’s Anatomy will be on. Also, Kid Rock performing All Summer Long, which I love, but am frustrated by since it’s not available on iTunes. Syndicated, check local listings.

6. Survivor: Gabon - Earth’s Last Eden. Finally, it starts. It’s a special two hour premiere of the seventeenth season with eighteen Survivors on board. As usual, it’s an interesting bunch. 7:00 PM CT CBS
