Television Lite May 6 – May 13, 2012

New week means new shows, or reruns served up on paper plates.  Usher on Saturday Night Live, and that isnt paniful at all.  I have to say this is the best week for music on television in a very long time!  Snow Patrol is fun to watch (though they suck) and Silversun Pickups are on Kimmel?  Theyre all famousy now!   

Beach Boy week with the pops on Fallon (and Iman seeing them live on Wednesday!), and the shocker and thriller of the week?  Of Monsters and Men on Letterman, wow…nice job!  Oh, and who the hell are The Lumineers?  Arent those dentures?
