Giant Robots Go To Robo-Boot Camp… And You Are There!

The two big events on TV this week are the build - up to the release of The Incredible Hulk — like two gargantuan green fist , impound out their primal tattoo of film hoopla — and the last Battlestar Galactica episode until 2009 . But there are other highlights , including some surprisingly great cartoons , a documentary chock full of space pornography , and newfangled sequence of Doctor Who and Charlie Jade . Click through for listings ( with minor spoilers ) .

I ’m trying a slightly different format here . or else of doing it by days of the week , I ’m aggroup things into categories . The highlights of this hebdomad ’s telly are :

Hulk - cacoethes . Your screen will be green this week , as telecasting plug this weekend ’s release of The Incredible Hulk with all its might . The Sci Fi Channel is showing marathons of the Hulk TV show all day , every day , this week ( including decent now . ) And an exclusive three - minute Hulk clip ( featuring Banner ’s transformation ) will air during Sci Fi ’s new Ghost Hunters episode on Wednesday at 9 . ( Just how badly do you want to see a Hulk snip ? In any case , I have a feeling it ’ll turn up on various blogs , including this one , pretty rapidly . ) Just to top thing off , Sci Fi is show Ang Lee ’s Hulk movie on Thursday at 9 , just to get the mutant poodle cravings out of your system before you see the Modern poodle dog - free movie .

There ’s more ! HBO has a “ First Look ” special about the Hulk on Wednesday evening at 9:30 . Also , Hulk adept Liv Tyler is on Jimmy Kimmel ’s Game Night primetime special on Thursday and Regis And Kelly on Friday . And Tim Roth is on the even Jimmy Kimmel recent night show Thursday dark . ( I sort of vaguely remember this motion picture had a male lead , but I ca n’t remember his name . And anyway , he ’s not doing any appearances . )

Other motion picture promo . HBO has a “ First Look ” at Get Smart tonight at 8:30 . And the stars of M. Night Shyamalan ’s ill-fated radius - stag disaster picture The Happening are promoting it as hard as they can : Marky Mark is on Letterman tomorrow night , Regis and Kelly Wednesday daytime and Conan O’Brien Wednesday night . And Zooey Deschanel is on Letterman Wednesday .

Battlestar ’s time of year finale . I ’m just redact it out there : Friday Nox ’s Battlestar Galactica is a season closing curtain , since the second “ half ” of the season wo n’t see the light of 24-hour interval until 2009 by all accounts . At least the finale has the hopeful title of “ Revelations , ” and unless the promo is totally deceptive ( like last week ’s promo ) we really see the four private cylons “ come out ” about their condition . But here , you’re able to watch and judge for yourself . And then strain in on Sci Fi at 10 on Friday .

Doctor Who and the labors of Hercule . This hebdomad ’s Doctor of the Church Who ( Friday on Sci Fi at 9 ) is the one where he match Agatha Christie .
