What's on: Monday

Because it has a lot to live up to, having stolen Studio 60 away from us (at least for the time being), reader, I'm pointing the spotlight squarely at THE BLACK DONNELLYS (NBC/10 p.m.) premiering tonight. This lucky little show gets a Heroes lead-in that anyone in the biz would kill for. Don't get me wrong, I'm as interested in the show as the next guy, I'm just holding a little grudge. I have a feeling it'll do well and you'll see news reports late Tuesday on how it held its own against CSI: Miami.

If you didn't get enough Oprah with last week's Oscar special, she's back tonight with BUILDING A DREAM: THE OPRAH WINFREY LEADERSHIP ACADEMY (ABC/10 p.m.), a little doc on the building of her school for disadvantaged girls in South Africa, which took five years to get done (the school, not the documentary). Interesting placement for this show at 10 p.m., but I guess ABC didn't want to spare prime competition time in the 8 p.m. slot, where something like this would usually end up in years past.

Also, Daily Show and Colbert are back from their week off.

Also new: How I Met Your Mother, The Class, Two and a Half Men,
Rules of Engagement and CSI: Miami on CBS; Deal or No Deal and Heroes on NBC; Wife Swap and Supernanny on ABC; Everybody Hates Chris, All of Us, Girlfriends and The Game on CW; FOX's Prison Break and 24; Discovery's Futureweapons; some Super Sweet 16 (in original and remix flavors) and Dance Life on MTV; ABC Family's Wildfire; The White Rapper Show on VH1.
