TV Junkie: Memorial Day

The Eagle Has LandedDid anyone watch "Recount" yesterday? What did you think?

We're in for a slow night and a slow week (with the exception of the "Lost" finale) - lot's of repeats this week, including late night television. Tonight's A&E miniseries remake of "The Andromeda Strain" begins but from what I've read online from other reviewers is that the story has been butchered almost beyond recognition. Watch it at your peril.

7:00pm The Eagle Has Landed TCM - (1977) Great war/suspense flick, perfect for Memorial Day: a Nazi colonel (Robert Duvall) drops a colonel (Michael Caine), a task force and an Irishman (Donald Sutherland) into England to kidnap Winston Churchill. [Hey, would ya' lookit' and see all the "good" guys playing bad guys in this one!]

8:00pm American Gladiators NBC - SWAT guy vs. tree climber battle in the men's competition; a business consultant vs. adventure junkie in the women's bout.

9:00pm The Andromeda Strain A&E - Miniseries Premiere. Part One

9:00pm Wildfire ABCFamily - Series Finale. Never heard of it and don't think that's a bad thing.

9:00pm The Bachelorette ABC - On at a new time tonight.

10:00pm Denise Richards: It's Complicated E! - Series Premiere

10:30pm Living Lohan E! - Series Premiere
