What to Watch…Thursday, October 16, 2008

October 16, 2008 by  

It’s not often I got a whole night without watching any TV, but that was the case last night when rather than watch the tube, I watched in awe as Madonna took to the stage here in Boston.  An incredible concert experience.  A true legend and still kicking all kinds of ass at 50.

But nothing could tear me away from TV tonight…not with new episode of some of my faves.  So here’s a few shows that I’ll be watching tonight.

    I have dropped Betty too. So I’ll be watching Kath & Kim (it’s not thaaaat bad), THE OFFICE, SNL, and Grey’s. Where’s Office Thursday??

    Hope you didn’t miss it, but the series premiere of Life on Mars was last week. I think Eleventh Hour might’ve been, too. They do have new eps tonight, though.

    Nope. I just didn’t update the post properly.

    Really looking forward to Life On Mars tonight (as well as The Office!) I loved the premiere last week (I was actually surprised by how much I liked it)

    **Possible Spoiler Alert***

    I heard somewhere that Amanda would be moving in with Betty, that should liven things up a bit.

    I’ve been kinda down on betty too, but I think last weeks episode really got me back on the band wagon. I thought it was great! Ugly betty is at it’s best when Marc and Amanda are included in the story lines.
    Sadly at this point the Mode After Dark webisodes and the Podcast are more entertaining to me.
