Battlestar Galactica
Title: "Crossroads, Part 2"
First Aired: 3/25/07
On the season finale of Battlestar Galactica, the most repellent criminal in the universe is handed a get-out-of-jail-free card, while half of the supporting cast discovers they’re really Cylon sleeper agents. Both internal and external forces threaten to tear the Colonial fleet asunder, but none is so devastating as the unforgivable wait fans must now be forced to endure until Adama and crew return for their fourth season, sometime next year.

Anna Nicole Smith’s Autopsy Reveals Accidental Drug Overdose
A Florida medical examiner announced today that Anna Nicole Smith died from a lethal combination of nine different prescription drugs. The autopsy results come six weeks after the former Playboy model was found dead in her Florida hotel room. It is not clear which drugs played the biggest role in Smith’s death, although the sleeping medication chloral hydrate is suspected to have been the main culprit. Complicating matters even further is the fact that Anna Nicole had not been entirely well in the days leading up to her death.

MeeVee Video Top 5: All-American TV -- Idol, Colbert, This American Life
In its youth, America glorified its traditional values. A solid family was the cornerstone of every good person. Such words as loyalty, dignity, and honor were associated with achievement. Boy, have times changed! American television has become a scary depiction of our separation from those traditional values. Loyalty will not help you become winner of Survivor, and dignity surely won't win you first place on Fear Factor. Today, the only things we honor are our TiVo and our HDTV.
Okay, so maybe TV draws us even further from those original values that have become so blurry. The compromise, however, is a wealth of diverse programming. Where else can you watch someone solve a murder, eat a cow's brain, and sing covers of an Aretha Franklin song from the comfortable setting of your couch? What makes American television so grand is not the values (or lack thereof) it gives us, but rather the endless amounts of suspense, laughter, and thrills it provides us each and every day.
This week, MeeVee's Video Top 5 features five great American shows: American Idol, The Colbert Report, The Great American Dream Vote, This American Life, and American Dad.

Title: Episode 11
First Aired: 3/25/07
March Madness and the Final Four take on a whole new meaning for legions of diehard Grease: You're The One That I Want fans in this, the last episode of the series. According to the votes, America is hopelessly devoted to Macho Max Crumm, who beats out Austin Miller for Danny Zuko bragging rights, and Laura Osnes, winner of the big Sandy Smackdown.

Amazing Race: All-Stars -- Screeching Girls Win Races
The Amazing Race: All-Stars
Title: “We’re Going to Trade You for Food”
First Aired: 3/25/07
Next week’s Amazing Race: All-Stars episode will have one less complaining agro male. Teri and Ian, the oldest competitors in this Race, met their timely demise in the latest installment. The self-professed harsh and opinionated Ian could usually be found barking orders to Teri and anyone unlucky enough to be within shouting distance, and in his immortal words, “I’m not sorry for it.” Karma’s a bitter pill, eh, Ian? You might want to try a kinder, gentler side sometime. It’s better than elimination.
Then again, Charla and Mirna keep winning, and they are anything but demure. Can someone please make these two stop shrieking for just one episode? Land sakes, they're annoying.

The Riches -- Believe the Lie

MeeVee Exclusive! Interview with Battlestar Galactica's Richard Hatch
This Sunday marks the end of Season Three for SciFi Channel juggernaut Battlestar Galactica. With Starbuck seemingly dead and Baltar's trial in shambles, we're all wondering what's going to happen both on and off the show. To get some insight on the matter, we tracked down Richard Hatch, who in a former life was the original BSG's Apollo, and currently plays pragmatic ex-political prisoner turned Vice President Tom Zarek. We caught up with Richard at WonderCon 2007 (pictured here with fans).

Totally Frakked: Smallville -- Thursday Night Super Smackdown!
Smallville
Title: “Combat”
First Aired: 3/22/07
"Combat" is an appropriate title for this week’s episode of Smallville, though "Mortal Kombat" might be even better. Wrestling guest stars Kane and Ashley lay the smack down on Clark when he becomes the main event at a super-powered fight club.
A gratuitous first scene, existing only to show security guard Athena (Ashley) stuffing her silicone valley into a schoolgirl outfit, quickly turns into a nifty splash page opening straight out of a comic book. Who is Clark battling? Why are they in a cage match? How is our hero bleeding? We soon flash back 46 hours (rather than the customary 48) to learn the answers.

The Supernatural studs ride the Impala to San Francisco’s Mission District to do battle with a pack of heart-gobbling werewolves.
