Lindsay Lohan is a Broke Girl
Here’s what’s up in the world of television for Monday, April 14. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
2 Broke Girls (CBS, 8 p.m.): “What?” you might ask, glancing at our pick for tonight’s What’s On Tonight. “Is 2 Broke Girls even still on-air?” Dear readers, it is. And tonight—tonight, we suggest you watch it. Because our Broke Girls will be joined by one very not Broke but very broken girl—Lindsay Lohan, playing a demanding bride. Trainwreck, instant comedy, or earth-shattering boredom? Tune in at 8 p.m. to find out. Sonia Saraiya is actually going to watch this and then review it, because Lindsay Lohan’s career fascinates her to no end.
ALSO NOTED
Regular Show (Cartoon Network, 6:30 p.m.): A special double episode tonight, telling “Skips’ Story,” parts one and two. Alasdair Wilkins would you like you to know that Regular Show airs (even) earlier now!
The Following (Fox, 9 p.m.): The dreaded day is here: Todd VanDerWerff will be tackling tonight’s The Following, sight unseen, despite having seen exactly zero episodes of this season and without any sense of what’s going on! Kevin Bacon is the bad guy, right?
Mom (CBS, 9:30 p.m.): And Todd VanDerWerff’s Lone Attempt To Read A Lot Into Chuck Lorre’s Shows ends one chapter tonight, as Mom closes out its first season. Goodbye, Mom.
Rick And Morty (Adult Swim, 10:30 p.m.): Only Lindsay Lohan could trump the first-season finale of this show, which has wormed its way into our hearts with literal, actual, disgusting worms. Zack Handlen and the Early Birds will return right after this message from our sponsors.
REGULAR COVERAGE
Bates Motel (A&E, 10 p.m.)
RuPaul’s Drag Race (LOGO, 10 p.m.)
Archer (FX, 10 p.m.)
ELSEWHERE IN TV CLUB
A full slate for you TV fans. Erik Adams takes a look at 100 Episodes of The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis, while Will Harris interviews Good Times’ Jimmie Walker for Random Roles.
Over in TV Reviews, Todd VanDerWerff takes a look at The Address, Ken Burns’ latest documentary that is a huge departure from his previous work—it’s a cinema verité look at a group of boys with learning disabilities practicing the Gettysburg Address. And Phil Dyess-Nugent looks at Syfy’s latest offering, Metal Hurlant Chronicles, and finds it lacking.
