Bad karma?

It’s sweeps month, so expect guests, music and more
TV’s May sweeps period begins Thursday night and concludes May 26, and it’s a big one, with the series finales of “Lost” and “24”; the season finales of “American Idol,” “The Biggest Loser” and “Dancing With the Stars”; the usual slew of scripted-show season finales; and even a couple of things starting their seasons.
- Sunday, “Family Guy”: In the hit’s 150th episode, psychotic baby Stewie and martini-swilling dog Brian get locked in a bank vault — without baby food or alcohol. As part of the “Fox Rocks” stunt, the episode will be followed by a series of Family Guy musical numbers, some previously unreleased. (Fox)
- Monday, “House”: “During a raucous boys’ night out, House (Hugh Laurie), Chase (Jesse Spencer) and Foreman (Omar Epps) visit a karaoke bar and perform a Gladys Knight & the Pips classic.” We’d tell you the song, but you’ve got to use your imagination. (Fox)
- May 6, “30 Rock”: In a Mother’s Day-themed episode, Anita Gillette appears as Liz’s (Tina Fey) mom, and Elaine Stritch returns in her Emmy-winning role as Jack’s (Alec Baldwin) mother. And Buzz Aldrin guest-stars. (NBC)
- May 7, “Friday Night Lights”: DirecTV viewers already had the chance to see this fourth season; it finally makes its NBC debut with coach Eric Taylor and wife Tami (Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton) now working at rival high schools. (NBC)
- May 8, “Saturday Night Live”: Twitter users started a campaign to SNL to have Betty White as a guest host, and she does the gig. (NBC)
- May 11, “The Biggest Loser”: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo guest-stars, and if anyone knows about being the big — nah, it’s just too easy and mean. (NBC)
- May 18, “90210”: Ryan O’Neal does a monthlong arc as Spence, father of Teddy (Trevor Donovan). And as you might expect from “90210,” Spence is not a 100 percent nice guy. (The CW)
- May 23, “Lost”: ABC has been pretty cavalier with the finales of some long-running shows, but not this one: It gets a special Sunday-night shindig, with a two-hour recap special followed by a two-hour finale in which we learn that Kate is really a little girl from Kansas who was knocked unconscious by a tornado, and that Jack is really the Tin Man, Locke is the Scarecrow and Ben is the Cowardly Lion. Kidding! If I’m right, it’s just an accident! (ABC)
- May 24, “The Big Bang Theory”: “Blossom’s” Mayim Bialik guest stars as an online-dating match for Sheldon (Jim Parsons). We hope she’s a female Sheldon. (CBS)
- May 25: Season finales for “American Idol” (Fox), “The Biggest Loser” (NBC), and “Dancing With the Stars” (ABC).
