As May draws to a close, fans of some of television's biggest shows -- American Idol, CSI, Desperate Housewives, among others -- are being treated to season-ending finales. At the same time, TV is testing the waters for its fall season.

David Bianculli, usually Fresh Air's small-screen critic, takes a look at the long-awaited big screen adaptation of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The Office is a sitcom that debuts Thursday night on NBC. The show is based on the popular British series of the same name, and is also shot in the style of a documentary set in a paper supply company.
