Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Saturday, January 3, 2009

The good and the bad of the new GMMR design is that with the ‘TV Spotlight’ on the home page, I’m forced to update it everyday.  Even on Saturdays when there usually isn’t anything on.  Here’s a few shows I picked out.  Something you’re looking forward to watching?  Let me know in the comments.

Happy New Year, Charlie Brown | 8pm on ABC
While other Peanuts plan a holiday, Charlie Brown struggles with “War and Peace.” [GMMR: It’s always something with you Charlie Brown. Believe it or not I don’t recall this Charlie Brown special. I’m sure I’ve seen it.  Is this the one where Charlie mopes around and says ‘Good Grief’ or was that the other one. Love you, Charles.]

Game Show in My Head | 8pm on CBS
In this new series from Ashton Kutcher, a personal trainer from Utah performs crazy, outrageous and embarrassing tasks while walking around the big city, guided by instructions from a hidden earpiece, in hopes of winning cash. [GMMR: I liked it better when Ellen DeGeneres did it. But I’m not an Ashton hater like most, so I’ll probably check it out if I’m home…which hopefully I won’t be.]

Sleepless in Seattle | 8:30pm on ABC
In this classic romantic tale, a Baltimore newswoman falls for a Seattle widower she hears on talk radio, thanks to his meddling son. [GMMR: I got this description online & instead of “meddling son” it said moppet son. I didn’t know what moppet meant.  I mean, I know muppet, but not moppet. Anyway, I changed it.]

GMMR’s Useless Information Tidbit of the Day…
One of the many, many gifts my sister Karen gave me for Christmas was a daily calendar of useless information.  I opened it and told her that these factoids would be great for the blog.  She thought so too, and that’s why she bought it in the first place.  So everyday (or at least everyday I remember) I’ll post about useless tidbit of info for you to share to dazzle all you meet.
