BBC America’s "Robin Hood" finds the Sheriff of Nottingham going all Chemical Ali on his own people and blaming it on "the pestilence." This shall not stand, I suspect.

"Saturday Night Live" season finale features host Steve Carell and musical guest Usher.

"Aliens in America" is a smart and actually sweet sitcom about tolerance and friendship, based around a Muslim exchange student. Of course it was not renewed for next season. I don’t have a joke, in fact I’m bummed. On tonight’s series finale, Raja wants to date a Muslim girl, so Justin dates one of his own kind too - a neurotic.

Finale. Aw, this is a little sad. Tonight brings the very last episode of "Moonlight," which CBS wouldn’t renew. The show has a smallish but very loyal audience, and many believe but for disruption of the writers strike, it would have become a hit. In the final episode, Mick and Josef move to protect their kind after a murder threatens their exposure.
Premiere. If you tend to think of CMT viewers in stereotypes, "Mobile Home Disasters" brings to mind something involving tornadoes, I’m sure. But really this is like a budget version of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." Tonight, the deserving family getting their digs re-done consists of single dad Jim Bigelow and his six boys.

Freeman Agyeman returns to SciFi and "Dr. Who" as Martha Jones, who hips the good doc to the return of archenemies the Sontarans.

Season finale of CBS’ "CSI" focuses on the departure of Warrick Brown, played by Gary Dourdan, whose recent drug arrest parallels the character’s problems. Dourdan didn’t kill anybody, though; we’re not so sure about Brown.

ABC’s "Lost" has two more episodes to go this season, and if you feel the earth move, apparently that’s just Locke moving the island. Or possibly the whole show jumping the shark. Tonight, the battle with the freighter people begins.

The Final Two will be revealed on tonight’s "American Idol." I’m betting America sends Syesha home.

"Top Chef" contestants tackle a huge challenge: Making salads modern and interesting. Dudes, it’s leaves and sticks.

First of the two-part season finale of "House" finds him surviving a bus crash but afflicted with a patch of amnesia in addition to his leg problem, drug addiction and misanthropy. The must-see of the night.

Low-rated but entertainingly sleazy "Gossip Girl" tonight finds Serena’s past coming back to haunt her. Oh, and Lisa Loeb.

On "How I Met Your Mother,"  Britney Spears returns as Abby, and she and Barney go to the bar together just to tick off Ted.

There’s not much on Saturday unless you like stock car racing or the NBA. But "Saturday Night Live" should be hipper than usual, with host Shia LaBeouf and musical guest My Morning Jacket.

Just screwing with you again. No "MILF Island" this weekend. But on Sunday CBS does have the two-hour season finale (and the usually lame hourlong "reunion show") for the latest installment of "Survivor." Our money’s on Cirie.
 

Celia Weston guests on Sunday’s "Desperate Housewives" as Susan’s mother-in-law. That oughta be good. I mean, I’ll be watching "Family Guy." But still.

Desperate HousewivesLynette learns more about the arson at Rick’s restaurant, Susan reconnects with her ex, Karl. If they’re still just as desperate after all these years, maybe they should consider psychotherapy or meditation or something. I’m just saying.

Moonlight The vampire detective is hired as a vampire bodyguard for a Hollywood starlet who feels the paparazzi are a threat. Isn’t Hollywood the real vampire here?

Friday Night Smackdown
If you’re not ready for some smack after watching Smackdown, then you just don’t understand how funny the word "smack" becomes if you repeat it more than five or ten times in a row.

Lemur Kingdom
It’s like "Meerkat Manor," only with lemurs. Sure, it goes to anthropomorphic extremes to make these animals seem sympathetic, but is it any different from the way they try to make the stars of "The Hills" appear human?
