What else is on
May 8, 2007
Tonight
"NCIS" (7 p.m., WBBM-Channel 2): Star Mark Harmon got the creator of this hit show, Don Bellisario, thrown out as executive producer. Reportedly, Harmon and others staged a coup. Bizarre. Bellisario, 71, is a big fish. He created "JAG," "Quantum Leap" and "Magnum, P.I.," and produced the original "Battlestar Galactica." But he's demanding. The crew works 16 hours a day from July 4 till the end of May. In January, Harmon told me Bellisario is a "force of nature" and "not for the weak of heart." Apparently, Harmon's heart couldn't take him anymore.
"Gilmore Girls" (7 p.m., WGN-Channel 9): The last episode ever is May 15, and star Lauren Graham told TV Guide she's relieved. CW wanted to continue it, but she and co-star Alexis Bledel were tired and didn't want to do the grind anymore. The show was creatively at an end, she says. Diehard fans should read the interview at TVGuide.com. It's long, and she's very forthcoming.
