What to watch on Memorial Day
Before you head out to the lake on Memorial Day, you might want to make sure you are home in time to catch several of the good items on television Monday:
• The A&E Network will premiere the two-part mini series “The Andromeda Strain” at 9/8 p.m. CST featuring Benjamin Bratt, Ricky Schroeder and Eric McCormack. The miniseries will continue at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
“The Andromeda Strain” is based on the book by Michael Crichton.
• Be sure to catch the premieres of these two new reality TV series on E! that are sure to make waves — “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated” at 11/10 p.m. CST, followed by “Living Lohan” at 11:30/10:30 p.m. CST.
According to Richards, the show will give her the opportunity to for everyone to see how her life really is compared to what is described like in the tabloids. When questioned by Whoopi Goldberg on “The View,” she said her children will make small appearances in the show.
In the first episode, Denise goes on a blind date with a “regular” guy (instead of her normal “bad guy” Hollywood hunks. Meanwhile, Denise will play matchmaker for her pet pig Charlotte.
“Living Lohan” will focus on Lindsey’s mother Dina Lohan and her ambitious 14-year-old daughter Ali, who is ready to be in the spotlight like big sis Lindsay. Also on the show is son Cody, who is more into sports than anything; and Nana, Dina’s mom.
If that’s not enough TV to get you going, the AMC will show several old war movies throughout the day.
