The schedule and some details on the new shows after the jump.
30 Rock isn't the only show tonight that has musical guest stars. The season finale of Bones has a performance from...Motley Crue! Yes, it's 1988 all over again! Not sure why this of all bands are making an appearance on the show (is one of the characters a fan? Was Slayer not available), but here's a clip of them singing "Dr. Feelgood" in the episode.

Yup, that's right, the evil baby from Family Guyis going to guest star on Bones tonight. Here's a clip from the episode if you don't want to wait (or you don't watch the show but you're still curious as to how the heck they're going to get an animated baby into a live action drama).

This week we are doing things a bit differently and offering a run down of what will happen during May for the series listed after the semi colon; note that some spoilers may have been posted in previous columns: 24, 30 Rock, 90210, Bones, Brothers & Sisters, Castle, Desperate Housewives, Fringe, Ghost Whisperer, Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy, House, How I Met Your Mother, Lost, NCIS, Numb3rs, Prison Break, Smallville, Supernatural, The Big Bang Theory, The Mentalist, The Office and Ugly Betty. (SPOILERS FOLLOW!)
Last week, TVSquad readers made our "Which shows are renewed, canceled, or on the bubble?" post the most viewed and most commented of the week. Most of the commenters voiced their opinions as to which show should be renewed, and since I also watch loads of TV, it's with no surprise that I wanted to chime in, as well. (Look for my "Series that I think should be canceled" post later this week.)
Here I present you, the 10 shows I think should be renewed. Note that I did not include in this list shows that have been confirmed as renewed by the network (such as Gossip Girl), nor those that have been officially canceled (bye bye Pushing Daisies).
Of course, this could be a discussion of the other Bones episode we saw this week, "Double Death of the Dearly Departed." FOX has aired three episodes of Bones since last Thursday, surprising even longtime fans who had no idea that there would be yet another new episode of the show last night. What night would you like to see the show on permanently? And no, fans, you can't say "put it on twice a week every week." What did you think of last night's episode?
