What to Watch…Monday, July 23, 2007

Sorry I’m a little late in getting today’s What to Watch list up. When I’m out here on the West Coast I try to get up by 5:30am to update GMMR, and that already seems late since it’s already 8:30am for those of you on the East Coast. But a little late night Harry Potter reading had me sleeping through my alarm this morning.

I hope you had a great weekend. I spent Saturday in Napa (yes, again) and it was fantastic. The weather was perfect, the wine was delish and I had a great time catching up with an old college friend. Overall not a bad day.

On to TV…
DO NOT MISS the CNN/YouTube Deomcratic Presidential Debate tonight at 7pm on CNN. Americans from all over the country, and the world have been submitting questions for the candidates via YouTube from some time now, and tomorrow night some of those videos will be shown and will force the candidates to answer questions that they may not be prepared for.

Tonight is the premiere of SAVING GRACE on TNT. The new drama starring Holly Hunter. I’m going to do be watching it at my lunch break today and I’ll let you know if it’s worth checking out. But I gotta tell ya, from everything I’ve read so far, this one should go on the TiVo sight unseen.

SAVING GRACE at 10/9c on TNT. A gritty crime series centering on hard-living Oklahoma City detective Grace Hanadarko (Holly Hunter), who experiences a spiritual awakening upon encountering an enigmatic angel (Leon Rippy). First up: A 10-year-old girl vanishes.
