What to Watch…Thursday, May 1, 2008

Take it easy today. Rest up. Drink lots of fluids. Tonight’s TV lineup is not for the weak of heart. You have to be a true TV fan to tackle the onslaught of Thursday night TV the networks throw at us. We can do it!! Are you with me? We.Can.Do.It!!!

There’s two big cameos that I’m looking forward to tonight. First up is the return of Jason Sudekis to 30 ROCK. Yup, Floyd is back and sadly it’s only for the night. Also stopping in for a quickie (hmm) is Addison Montgomery who is back at Seattle Grace while PRIVATE PRACTICE is on hiatus to perform a special surgery (and hopefully talk some sense into Meredith).
