I wanted this to be an election-free zone, but that’s just not possible. One more day, people.

9:00 – NBA Playoffs: Spurs @ Lakers (TNT)
Wow, the West is so fresh and incredible and jam-packed full of great teams and– oh, we’re down to just the Spurs and Lakers again. Bummer. Can Chris Paul sub in on one of the teams? Please??
9:15 – The Return of Maxwell Smart (HBO Family)
As good as a movie with Steve Carell, Alan Arkin, and the Rock sounds in theory, the Get Smart previews have the slight air of… well… flop. Take a look at the first attempt at a Get Smart movie, actually with Don Adams, and start steeling yourself for June 20.
10:00 – Boston Legal (ABC)
It’s the season finale, and a cast shakeup is in the future, so you might want to say a final goodbye to some of your favorite bit-characters-that-inexplicably-got-promoted-to-regular-cast-members, such as weird cross dressing chubby black guy (who I only just realized played Smart Brother in Undercover Brother), and weird super-neurotic white guy with glasses.
Late Night
The younger and hotter Sex and the City cast member is on Letterman, Adam Sandler plays in Leno’s sandbox, Harrison Ford probably falls asleep on Conan, Laura Dern crawls out of the nineties on Ferguson, and Comedy Central continues to forsake us.

8:00 – Knocked Up (HBO)
Yeah, yeah, they’ve been showing it nonstop, but what’s better than Seth Rogan and Paul Rudd shrooming their way through Cirque du Soleil?
8:00 – NBA Draft Lottery (ESPN)
Let’s take a break from exciting playoff basketball action for some exiting probably rigged lottery action. The NBA: Where cheating happens.
9:00 – Reaper (CW)
It’s the Reaper season finale, and Sam must decide whether his best friend lives… or dies. And no, his best friend is not a talking pie.
Late Night
Harrison Ford tries to crack a bull whip without breaking his hip on Letterman, Sly Stallone wonders if it’s too late to turn Get Carter into a classic Stallone franchise he can revive for a quick buck on Leno, Denis Leary reminds us that, really, he’s an “actor” these days on Conan, and the Comedy Central duo remain on vacation.
