Sunday May 16

The 2010 Miss USA Pageant (7pm on Fox) – The 2-hour, annual pageant.  I have to ask…  Why would you air a show that is obviously a lot about looks in standard definition?

America’s Funnies Home Videos (7pm on ABC) – Season finale

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (8pm on ABC ) – Season finale

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains (8pm - 11pm on CBS – Available in HD) – season finale

The Pacific (9pm on HBO – Available in HD) – Series finale.  The 10th and final episode.  And so my short subscription to HBO is over.

Desperate Housewives (9pm on ABC – Available in HD) – season finale

Storm Worlds (9pm on National Geographic – Available in HD) – A new series that covers big storms from the past with speculation of the effects of storms in the worlds future.  This premiere episode covers solar storms.

The Middle (8:30pm on ABC – Available in HD) – Season finale

The Good Guys (9pm on Fox – Available in HD) – a “sneak peak” at a new show coming on Fox.  They’ll likely show this episode again on June 7th before determining whether it’s a keeper or not.  It’s old-school cop meets modern-day detective with a 70’s feel to it.

Modern Family (9pm on ABC – Available in HD) – My vote for best, new comedy gets it’s season finale

Delta Divers (9pm on National Geographic – Available in HD) – A new series that follows the Delta Divers, a team of highly skilled underwater adventurers who descend where few dare to go to - 300 feet below the water's surface. We'll join them on the dive barge "Southern Hercules" as they head out to repair an aging subsea oil well.  Sounds like they might have a lot of material to cover on this show after the ongoing disaster in the Gulf.

Cougar Town (9:30pm on ABC – Available in HD) – Season finale

Law & Order: SVU (10pm on NBC – Available in HD) – Season finale
