What's On Tonight (Monday): The Baker and the Beauty Has A Two Hour Finale

Via Giphy

I will never understand why they didn't call it "Beauty and the Baker" since that's how the famous title that its trying to be a play on goes. (I mean its not The Beast and the Beauty--you know???) Do you think they test marketed that to audiences in malls across America? What show would you be more likely to watch "The Baker and the Beauty" Or "Beauty and the Baker?" The answer unsurprisingly turned out to be neither--and its back to the drawing board I guess. This is What's On for Monday June 1st, 2020. (Wow how is it June already?!?!?!?)



8:00

The Neighborhood (CBS): Rerun, but a good rerun as its the episode where Cedric decides that he would like to shoot a commercial for his auto body repair shop and it goes very, very, very much like you'd expect it to go on a sitcom, which is poorly because everyone has their own ideas about what to do and annoys Cedric enough that he decides to do it all himself which of course goes even worse! (I actually thought it was pretty funny when it aired a couple months back, but it is very, very silly)

The Titan Games (NBC): "The Rock Meets Doc Thor" (I don't know what that means either, Thor's not a doctor!!!)

Celebrity Family Feud (ABC): Gaten Matarazzo, Maddie Ziegler and Mackenzie Ziegler (all of whom are "Stranger Things" cast members) compete as does various "Bachelor" suitors and Victoria Secret Angels. (This is a rerun from last summer I should add)

9-1-1 (FOX): Rerun!

Iconic TLC (The CW): TLC gets a tribute hour by various other groups whom emulate the popular 90s and early 00's girl group and basically TLC is paid homage to in this special that no doubts fills up an hour quite nicely for the network.

Antiques Roadshow (PBS): Rerun from Leap Day 2016 finds them going to Charleston, South Carolina where they dee an 1890 Frederic Remington watercoler, a 1970 Jimi Hendrix collection (of guitars maybe???), and an 1879 James A.<. Whistler "palaces" etching (Maybe its Hendrix's dog Rover!!!)

Harvest Moon (Hallmark): After her family goes bankrupt, a city woman travels to the country to fix up a struggling pumpkin farm that her father bought as an investment. ("Homer you knucklebeak, I told you to sell your pumpkin futures before Halloween...Before Halloween!")  Starring Jessy Schram and Jesse Hutch. ("Hey keep your hands off my Jesse Hutch")

8:30

Bob Hearts Abishola (CBS): In the 3rd episode of the series (so CBS is just gonna air them all chronologically then???) Bob learns about some Nigerian customs from the two Nigerian guys who work for him; meanwhile Abishola has to deal with some gossip being spread about her by her friend Kami. (Kami does love to gossip! Its like her favorite thing!)

9:00

All Rise (CBS): In a rerun of what ended up being their last episode prior to doing that quarantine episode (which i wonder if it'll get rerun)--Judge Lola learns that her husband didn't get the job in L.A meaning they're gonna be separated even more than they already are; Mark who's an ADA ends up going on a police ride-along;  and Emily arrives at a sobering conclusion. (About what tho I have no idea) This show was recently renewed for a 2nd season! (I mean its alright, i;ve said before the characters are likeable enough to give it a look, but as a drama, its fairly ehh.)

The Wall (NBC): Brothers Heathan and Hector both from Fort Lee New Jersey compete. (One's an EMT, and the other is a veteran of the armed services)

The Baker and the Beauty (ABC): Top Pick of the night goes to this show burning off its last two episodes--i think giving this show a grand total of 10 episodes????---"Daniel and Noa reconnect after a falling out; but Daniel's desire to have a normal life keeps coming between the two of them (You Can Work It Out Guys!!!); Noa makes a seemingly erratic decision about her career. (Well that's better than a seemingly erotic decision right???) This show was not among the recent slate of renewals that ABC handed out the other week (but it also weirdly wasn't among the cancellations either, but there's almost no way this gets a 2nd season right? I mean it was pretty dead on arrival from the minute it premiered)

9-1-1-Lone Star (FOX): RERUN

Roswell New Mexico (The CW): Driven by the prospects of her scientific research, Liz opens up to Diego about all the good her findings could do; Max enlists Kyle's help getting to the bottom of the recent abductions. (ALL the good her findings could do????)

Antiques Roadshow (PBS): In another rerun from 2016, this time they go to Tuscon, Arizona where they look at a 1943 Allen Ginsberg signed yearbook; and 1884 Anna Potter temperance snake jug, and  an Alfens Wade oil paining from 1935. (I love how specific these all are honestly!)

30 For 30 (ESPN 2): "Lance--Part 2" Two hour look at the life and times of Lance Bass. (I'm sorry I'm being told its Lance Henriksen) (No its actually about you know Lance Armstrong---Stretch's brother???) (Also Part 1 is being rerun prior to this one if you'd wanna see Part 1 as I neglected to mention it in last Monday's listings)

Beyond the Unknown (Travel): Psychic spies in the CIA (!!!!); a ghostly tale of revenge; and the search for the lost city of Atlantis. (Have they tried Disneyland???)

Barkskins (Nat Geo): Mathilde takes charge of the inn while the Filles prepare for the Matchmaking Dance. (The episode is called "The Sugared Plum") ("Sugared Plum Fairy Came and Hit the Streets...")

Bakeaway Camp with Martha Stewart (Food): This thing reaches its conclusion as tonight the gang bids "Farewell to the Camp"

Gomer Pyle (MeTV): Grandpa Pyle gives Gomer a good luck charm. (Gomer's grandpa was still alive???)

9:30

Green Acres (MeTV): Eb surprises people with marriage plans as he fibs in order to surprise the dad of a girl he's currently seeing. (That'll happen!)

10:00

Bull (CBS): Rerun of that time Bull had to try and defend a client who had already confessed to killing the doctor whom the client had blamed for the death of his mother. Can Bull walk back the confession??? (Is this a procedural on CBS CBS CBS???)

Songland (NBC): This time Bebe Rexha sits in on the judge panel in this once again "Shark Tank" but with musicians and songwriters instead of inventors tv show.

Baker and the Beauty (ABC): Season Finale!!!!! (Or Series Finale---Its gotta be the series finale right?)

American Dad (TBS): When one of Roger's aliases/disguises falls in love with Dick (that would be one of Stan's co-workers at the CIA),  it affects the rest of the family somehow. (It was really only a matter of time until Roger had a plotline that paired him up with Dick, given that i think Roger has had an episode that has had him paired up with just about everyone else in the show's support cast over the years---remember there was that one episode where he was "adopted" by Gene and Terry? and that one episode where he started hanging out with Snot? Has there even been one that paired him up with Bullock? There surely must've been one by now)

Beatrix Farrand's American Landscapes (PBS): Hour long profile takes a look at America's first female landscape artist.

Creepshow (AMC): A killer gets stranded in a funeral home with a mortician and his creepy monkey's paw; a former mayor and his followers who controlled a town thru fear and intimidation gets a taste of their own medicine. (Are the 2 stories related by any chance??? No? Nevermind then!)

Pawn Stars (History): An antique key gun that requires a mystery to unlock; a Pink Floyd album; and a 1600's blade. (nods)

Beyond the Unknown (Travel): Season 3 of this show premieres (But it just ran a new episode--Ahh but that was the end of Season 2!) (Why are they running them back to back???) (Cause that's how they run them every week!!!)  "A plane crashes near Area 51; a pilot's encounter with a UFO; and a shark might contain a key piece of evidence that could solve an age old Maritime mystery." (Hmm!) 

Amy Schumer Learns To Cook (Food): This thing also wraps up its brief run (and none too soon) with her learning how to make crispy potatoes, lamb sliders, greek salad dip, radish and potato salad. (i'm not sure why this was a show however briefly it ran, but i also can't think of a reason why it shouldn't have been a show either--i mean she's got a fan base who'd watch this right??? Hell i'd have probably watched something called "Margaret Cho Learns To Cook" so why not Amy Schumer?)

 Barkskins (Nat Geo): In the 2nd of two episodes back to back tonight "The Iroquois return for their dead; Trepagry leads Melissandre back to the Doma; and Delphine embarks on her own new life with Pierre Gassquet" (The episode is titled "The Law of Two")  (Barkskins is filmed in front of a live studio audience!) (ok its not really but could you imagine???)

Almost Paradise (WGN): In this show's season finale (already???) Alex must race to save his daughter when his old partner comes to town to finish the job he had started. The episode is titled "Something Walker This Way Comes" (I'm assuming the name of the old partner is Walker cause otherwise that title doesn't make any sense!)  (So long Christian Kane starring show that nobody but me and maybe Amadeus ever actually knew about)  (I keep meaning to check it out too as I do like Christian Kane but well to be honest I keep forgetting it exists until I ends up listing it here!) 

WELL I GUESS THAT'S A WRAP ON MONDAY NIGHT---WELCOME TO THE WORK WEEK! THE BAKER AND THE BEAUTY....I HOPE THEY'RE NOT A-MOODY---WELCOME TO THE WORK WEEK!
