MONDAYS
WHEN WOMEN RULE THE WORLD (working title) will launch with a 2-hour series premiere on MONDAY, MAY 26 and will continue airing in the 8:00pm time period. Encore episodes of BONES will air at 9:00pm.
Set in a primitive, remote location, this unscripted series explores what happens when a group of strong, educated and independent women, tired of living in a man’s world, rule over a group of unsuspecting men used to calling the shots!

HELL’S KITCHEN will continue in the 9:00pm time period where it premieres (as previously announced) on April 1! HELL’S KITCHEN will have its season finale on July 8.
TEEN CHOICE 2008 will celebrate the hottest teen icons who made waves this year in film, television, music, sports and fashion! The coolest stars receive coveted Teen Choice Surfboard awards in categories such as Choice Breakout TV Show, Choice Movie Chemistry, Choice Reality/Variety Show, Choice Breakout Artist, Choice Male Hottie, Choice Female Athlete, Choice Liplock and Choice TV Sidekick. Hosts, performers, nominees and presenters at TEEN CHOICE 2008 will be announced closer to the air date.
