ABC/Mario Perez
Despite the potential for rescue looming ever present, this season of "Lost" (9 p.m. EDT on ABC) has been plodding forward on big, clumsy feet -- or it was until two episodes ago, when we learned that Ben was even more eeeevil than we had originally suspected. Spoilers ahead if you missed the last two episodes! Ben sure wasn't quoting the Doobie Brothers when he chillingly hissed at Juliet, "You belong to me!" Sure, Jin's looming death is another bummer in a season of bummers, but that last scene with Sun and their daughter visiting his grave was probably worth the price of admission nonetheless. And now for the kicker: The return of Michael! Michael is on the boat, and based on teasers for tonight's episode (which is the last new episode until April 24), Ben is still dangling Walt's fate under Michael's nose so he'll keep doing Ben's bidding. Damn that evil, bug-eyed Ben! Thanks to him, we're back in the pull of this never-ending island purgatory!
The first round of the "NCAA Basketball Tournament" airs at 12-5 p.m. and 7 p.m.-12 a.m. EDT on CBS. The Donald's star underlings are cut down to two on "Celebrity Apprentice" (9 p.m. on NBC) and the finale of "Lipstick Jungle" airs at 10 p.m. on NBC. Based on the title, I think we can be sure that "I Know My Kid's a Star" will feature some seriously unlikable characters (premieres at 10 p.m. on VH1).
