Ever since we first learned of its, er, suggestive name, I've been curious to see HBO's Hung. Possibilities for sick jokes aside, there are lots of solid reasons I'm looking forward to checking out this comedy tonight.
For one thing, the extra-long (.

Virtuality, which airs tonight on Fox, was supposed to be Battlestar Galactica producer Ron Moore's next big sci-fi series. But something went wrong along the way: Instead of becoming a high-profile Fox sci-fi series in the mold of The X-Files or even Fringe, Virtuality is airing tonight as a two-hour movie with little hope of continuing on.
Typically, that's the sort of thing that happens when a show just turns out terrible — so it's a little odd that Fox is showing us any part of it.

NBC's The Philanthropist, a project with a fairly odd journey to the small screen, premieres tonight. Once envisioned as a breakout series and the anchor of NBC's Monday night lineup, it's now morphed into an eight-hour Summer burn-off with little chance of renewal. But does it still deserve a spot in your viewing lineup?

New episodes of a network TV show that's not canceled airing in the Summer? How is that even possible? I don't know what was behind ABC's choice to air new episodes of Better Off Ted starting this week — but whatever it was, I'll take it!

The Secret Life of the American Teenager is one of those shows I just can't quit. Sure, the show's made me roll my eyes plenty of times over its two seasons, and it still hasn't lived up to Greek in my personal ABC Family series power rankings, but it's also succeeded in sucking me in completely to the world of Amy, Ricky, Ben, and the rest.
And now, with the show's third season premiering tonight, I'm even more curious to tune in than usual.

We've pondered and discussed the question of who Casey should be with — Cappie or Max (or no one!) — and in tonight's finale of Greek, Casey will finally make her decision. Many of us have an assumption of who it'll be (and the clip after the jump only confirms this) so now I'm tuning in to find out how the "chosen one" will react!
Here's what else we can expect from tonight's finale: "Kappa Tau hosts an 'End of the World' party, and Casey struggles with conflicting feelings she has for Max and Cappie.

Goodbye, fair pie-maker. Goodbye, alive again girl named Chuck. Goodbye, snarky, shady PI and singing itty-bitty waitress.

"The Hemptress" is back — and this time, she's bringing a friend. Weeds returns to Showtime tonight to start its fifth season, and the network is using that opportunity to launch a high-profile and intriguing new series, Nurse Jackie.
I'm especially curious to see what this season of Weeds will hold considering the total transformation the show undertook last year.

I know I already rounded up 10 reasons why Summer TV won't be such a drag, but today's the day when I truly believe it. The third season of Army Wives begins tonight! I've long stopped feeling silly for having this much love (and it's a lot of love) for a Lifetime original series, and instead decided to simply bond with my fellow Army Wives fans.
