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?

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.
