8 pm Gossip Girl (The CW) | Episode 100 (maybe you’ve heard a thing or two about it?): As Chuck wrestles with the reality that Blair is about to marry the prince, the return of Georgina Sparks might make the day a royal disaster. (Watch a video preview and check out photos.)

8 pm Top Gear (BBC America) | In the Season 3 finale, Jeremy tests the Chrysler Crossfire, Richard tries a new Smart Car fitted with twin turbos (!), and James looks at two big surprises, including Jaguar’s XJ6. Me, I drive a 12-year-old Altima. Sad.

8:30 pm MAD (Cartoon Network) | If only because CBS’ sitcoms are in repeat mode and tonight’s line-up includes “2 Broke Powerpuff Girls” and “WWE Bought a Zoo.”

9 pm Being Human (Syfy) | Aidan is shocked to discover a secret from his new girlfriend’s past — let’s hope she wasn’t BFFs in high school with that Summers girl.

2012 Renewal Scorecard: What’s Coming Back? What’s Getting Axed? What’s on the Bubble?

10 pm Intervention (A&E) | Suzon is a onetime superstar soccer mom who kept a spotless home, but now collects scrap metal and sells prescription drugs to support her crack habit. Will her headstrong, agenda-driver mother detour the critical intervention?

So excited for Gossip Girl (but worried Chuck won’t stop the wedding), and then Being Human never disappoints!

After all of the money they spent on Blair’s wedding (beautiful dresses, flowers, etc.) why did they decide not to cut off her split ends. One little thing DOES make a difference!

- Blair has become a really pathetic character this season. I think her hair is a reflection of that. I’m sad because Blair was my favorite character but this year she’s been too Serena-ish. What happened to the driven Blair Waldorh who wanted a life for herself outside of a man? Pathetic hair for a pathetic girl.

  - you make a good point, her hair is as incoherent with her character as her new found personality.

Gossip girl and lying game (and record hart of dixie for later).

Wow. Craptastic night for TV. Pass.
Comment by Toto – January 30, 2012 07:44 AM PDT Reply To This Post
- Agreed. Why are CBS comedies on an every-other-week rotation? One new episode, then two weeks of reruns, another new episode, then two more weeks of reruns. Annoying.
  Comment by Meg – January 30, 2012 07:48 AM PDT Reply To This Post
  - Likely pacing themselves until February sweeps (which officially starts Thursday).

    - Thanks, Matt! You’re awesome.
      Comment by Meg – January 30, 2012 09:43 AM PDT Reply To This Post
    - I get the pacing themselves, but personally I would rather CBS have a longer break for winter and the come back with at least 2 or 3 new episodes in a row.

  - What, no HIMYM? aww.

ALCATRAZ On Demand. I’ll definitely watched WWE Raw SuperShow with the return of Triple H.
Comment by kevin – January 30, 2012 07:58 AM PDT Reply To This Post
Gossip Girl and Hart of Dixie! Record Alcatraz and PLL.
Comment by Sharie – January 30, 2012 08:00 AM PDT Reply To This Post
Hate that Castle is a rerun tonight. I’ll watch Alcatraz, mainly because I like Sam Neill, although I’m not a fan of how obnoxious they’ve made his character.
Comment by Tikkanen – January 30, 2012 08:13 AM PDT Reply To This Post
Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, Lying Game… Ahhh I LOVE mondays

Drag Race returns at 9pm!
Comment by Matt – January 30, 2012 08:26 AM PDT Reply To This Post
- I was hoping for the same listing above, and its return is something I’ve been looking forward to. It definitely fits “TV Worth Watching” for me.

Comment by Justin – January 30, 2012 09:00 AM PDT Reply To This Post
A rerun of Castle is better than no Castle at all. And before that I’ll watch something I DVR’d over the wknd…….Can’t wait for the new episodes to start next week!

I actually heard that Fear Factor will be a repeat since they pulled the new episode. Is this true??
Comment by Amanda – January 30, 2012 09:15 AM PDT Reply To This Post
- Yes, NBC did pull the donkey semen & urine chugging epi.
  Comment by Velvet – January 30, 2012 09:39 AM PDT Reply To This Post
- Yep, I also heard they have pulled the episode and will replace it with a repeat episode instead.
  Comment by G – January 30, 2012 10:04 AM PDT Reply To This Post

Won’t be home so will DVR Pretty Little Liars, Lying Game, Hart of Dixie and H5O if it is new.
Comment by G – January 30, 2012 10:03 AM PDT Reply To This Post
…and Ru Paul’s Drag Race is on tonight at 10! Funniest reality show on tv
Comment by Adam – January 30, 2012 10:05 AM PDT Reply To This Post
- I hope Michael Slezak will do Drag Race recaps again this year!
  
  Also, kudos to Matt for the MAD mention – I don’t watch it regularly, but when I have seen it (my favorite – “Grey’s In Anime”), it made me laugh quite a bit. I read a lot of MAD when I was younger, and this has the spirit of parody I love from the magazine.

You left out Lost Girl on Syfy. A great new show from Canada and it deserves a plug
Comment by Djewel – January 30, 2012 10:53 AM PDT Reply To This Post
Not a thing for me to watch. Can’t wait for a new Castle..
Comment by Ainav – January 30, 2012 12:14 PM PDT Reply To This Post
I’m still with Lost Girl for now, giving it a shot. The writing/plot has a number of issues, but I really like Bo and Kenzi so far. Especially Kenzi – that character could so easily fall into being far too annoying, but it’s really written/acted out with a lot of charm. Tasha seemed so… wooden on LUX (which, granted, had its own share of problematic writing/plot), I never would have guessed it was the same actress.
Comment by Tee – January 30, 2012 12:21 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl, The Lying Game, and Hart of Dixie. Thank goodness Hawaii Five-0 and Castle are both repeats, Mondays are far too busy.
Comment by Liz – January 30, 2012 12:26 PM PDT Reply To This Post
House and Fear Factor
Comment by Emily – January 30, 2012 12:55 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Being Human for sure. Hope they’re not plotting to kill off the Nora character because she’s a very good actress and has excellent chemistry with the wolf. Oh, and Hart of Dixie…go Team George!!
Comment by RichieS – January 30, 2012 01:14 PM PDT Reply To This Post
I’m already up to date on Lost Girl,but I’d probly watch reruns because Bo is a fine looking lady!
Comment by shaun – January 30, 2012 02:41 PM PDT Reply To This Post
No, you get around 100% of British shows before we do, just as we get around 100% of American shows before YOU do (with only rare exceptions). Seems fair to me that each country gets its own programming first.
Comment by Hannah – January 30, 2012 02:53 PM PDT Reply To This Post
House, Alcatraz, Being Human, Lost Girl and Gossip Girl if I can delay my husband’s American Pickers…
Comment by Becca Porter – January 30, 2012 03:04 PM PDT Reply To This Post
I hope PLL crushed GOSSIP GIRL TONIGHT!

PLL and Hart of Dixie for me tonight.
Comment by Sid – January 30, 2012 03:08 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Because of this article I decided to try watching MAD. And I laughed my @ss off. Thanks!

[H]OUSE, of course. Never miss it. LOVE it!
