What to Watch…Thursday, May 15, 2008

Tonight might just be one of the biggest night’s of the 2007-08 TV season.  Next to premiere night, is there anything more exciting than season finale night?

A lot of our favorite shows are bidding adieu for the summer, and will be gone (again) after tonight.  I’m not ready…I don’t feel prepared.  Oh and have I mentioned that I’m not going to be watching ANY of these shows live?  The horror!  Tonight is the Fox Upfronts here in NYC.  What a cruel world. And before you ask, YES, this includes THE OFFICE (but much more on that later).

Check out what’s going on in the TV world tonight…
