BEST BETS FOR MONDAY, FEB. 8, 2010
 |
CBS, 8 p.m. ET Super Bowl viewers yesterday saw ads featuring Neil Patrick Harris, as Barney, appearing to be in the stadium audience, sporting a CBS sign that actually pimped his own phone number. Tonight, the results of that cross-promotional ploy. |
 |
Fox, 8 p.m. ET Lisa Edelstein gets a Cuddy-centric episode tonight, which sounds like a very clever way to reimagine the strange daily routines at the hospital: through Cuddy’s eyes. In this version, it’s House (Hugh Laurie) who pops in for only one or two scenes, and Cuddy whose problems and solutions carry the day, and the show. |
 |
NBC, 8 p.m. ET Rival spies are watching Chuck from afar, and, with both his spy skills and his way with women, giving him credit for a lot more than he deserves. |
 |
NBC, 9 p.m. ET SEASON FINALE: Why is this series vanishing before the Olympics, and not scheduled to return until and unless NBC renews it for next season? Because this series has slipped so much, creatively and in the ratings, that it’s no longer a high priority for NBC. Though, as the Central Park cello concert threatens disaster in this season finale, our heroes may be saved by NBC’s current prime-time debacle. Right now, the network NEEDS shows. Lots of them. |
 |
Fox, 9 p.m. ET Interesting: the redemption of Renee, or the lack of it, is turning out to be the most interesting story line on this show in years. I hereby put forth a suggestion that sounds like heresy, and never will happen: Kill Jack near the end of this season, totally unexpectedly, and let Renee carry the story line and, from that point on, the show. |
 |
FX, 10 p.m. ET For a law series, this FX program has a shockingly high body count – and that count is upped by one or two cadavers tonight, as several camps mobilize to try and locate a key, missing witness. |
