What to Watch (Week of 4/2)

I'm on vacay this week! Yay! My family is visiting from Michigan, and I will be spending the week with them, so I am actually a bit glad that The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural aren't new this week. Though I am a bit bummed that I may possibly miss the return of Bones (and the birth of the baby!), and totes bummed that the series finale of One Tree Hill is this week, but I will try my hardest to watch it! Also, pretty sure I gave up on Smash. I tried to like it. I really did :(
