What to Watch: Thursday, May 31, 2007
May 31, 2007 by Kath Skerry
As always, so much TV so little space on the TiVo (well not until I find it in my heart to erase all the eps of Veronica Mars and The Office I’ve been hoarding). There’s actually of new and old favorites to choose from tonight. I’m personally looking forward to “SYTYCD” and “Studio 60”, and I’ll probably TiNo “The Starter Wife” until the weekend. I saw a bit of it already and it was pretty good so check it out.
So You Think You Can Dance
Auditions continue in Hotlanta tonight. Will the crown of America’s Favorite Dancer go to someone from the dirty South? Who cares, I would rather just watch the judges – the best on TV. We know Mary and Nigel will be there, but who will be the third judge tonight. Let’s hope it’s Wade Robson.
Studio 60 (NEW)
Things go haywire during a live broadcast when Jordan has a scare with her pregnancy and Tom has to face his own crisis. To make matters worse, Matt’s pill popping is no longer a secret.
Pirate Master (NEW)
“Survivor” producer Mark Burnett creates what seems like a spinoff, set aboard ship in the Caribbean – but with intrigue and hidden treasure, and we hope some plank-walking and eyepatches too.
The 2007 Scripps National Spelling Bee (NEW)
No swords or planks here, just a lot of “nascent” and “pluperfect” and other hard words that we swear we didn’t have to look up, really. Robin Roberts of “Good Morning America” hosts.
The Starter Wife (NEW)
Two-hour premiere of the six-hour miniseries. Debra Messing is getting sterling reviews for her role as a woman who finds out what really matters when her husband throws her over for another woman.
What else I’ll be watching tonight…
My Name is Earl – Larceny of a Kitty Cat
30 Rock – Jack-Tor
The Office – The Coup
Scrubs – My House
Grey’s Anatomy – Don’t Stand So Close to Me

I thought we were the only ones out there to admit that we watch the spelling bee. We discovered them a few years back when Cheapseats used to have them on (before it was cancelled). Sigh. Now we’ll have to provide our own snarky random commentary. I want to be Jason.
I watched:
Starter Wife – Loved it, thought it was really entertaining and I now have a slight obsession with Judy Davis. The husband is terrible, totally heartless. Molly is wonderful, all hail Debra Messing, she’s the best!
Spelling Bee – You wouldn’t think this would be that entertaining but it soooo is. Ever seen the documentary Spellbound? Check it out if you haven’t, hysterical.
