HDTV Listings for April 20, 2006

What we're watching: Ladies night once again with Commander in Chief following up Alias (*whistles* nothing to see here) yesterday, showing Jack Bauer and David Palmer that boys don't have all the fun.

Otherwise it's a slow night for HD, as the NBA and NHL gear up for the playoffs, but a new Everybody Hates Chris on UPN should get us through.

Update: NBC has decided to swap out the dull Cooking Challenge for episodes of Will & Grace and My Name is Earl tonight. Good choice NBC.

James,

Take it with a grain of salt(I assume you're talking about the Alias comment). If you're a fan, you should enjoy the episode.
