Welcome to a new week for This Week on TV! Last week was quite a week, wasn’t it? CBS really gave me the highs, the renewal of How I Met Your Mother, and lows, the sudden and shocking cancellation of Jericho. Everything else was about as expected. What was the greatest surprise for you? Take the poll and let us know! Not a great deal on this week, but let’s get to it!
