Whats Hot On TV

This is really odd, but three shows tonight feature bank robberies, and two the Russian mob. One of them comes in the form of the return of Life On Mars. That has both a bank robbery and the Russian mob. There are also a lot of repeats on tonight. Maybe the Russian mob stole some of the new programming when they robbed the banks.

1. Gone Baby Gone. Ben Affleck directed, with little brother Casey starring with Michele Monaghan, Morgan Freeman, and Ed Harris. The younger Affleck and Monaghan star as private eyes who investigate the disappearance of a little girl, and all leads point to it being connected somehow to the girl’s mother. 10:20 AM CT Starz 1

2. Rachael Ray. Rachael’s guests include Scott Baio of Confessions of a Teen Idol, as well as tattoo artist Kat Von D. Syndicated, check local listings.

3. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. I waited a good fifteen to twenty years after this movie came out, for no particular reason, before I saw it for the first time. I had to admit, though, once I finally caved, that it was quite endearing. 1:45 PM CT HBO Family East

4. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It’s the original, the one with Gene Wilder, and not the one with Johnny Depp. 6:30 PM CT ABC Family.

6. American Idol. The auditions continue, this time coming from Salt Lake City, the home of David Archuleta. 7:00 PM CT Fox

8. Lie to Me. Cal tries to figure out how truthful a female soldier is being with her rape accusation against her sergeant, and Gillian, a basketball fan, looks into charges than an influential college alum used bribes to get a promising inner-city prospect to attend the school. 8:00 PM CT Fox

9. CSI: NY. It’s the second show tonight with a main character being taken hostage in a bank robbery as Mac then wakes up in a submerged car, with no memory of how it all happened. An investigation ensues to unravel the truth behind the heist and who is at its core. 9:00 PM CT CBS
