Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Monday, January 12, 2009

I hope everyone is enjoying their Monday night TV while they can, because we are just a few weeks away from all hell breaking loose.  All the traditional Monday night shows (including ‘CHUCK and ‘HEROES’) will be back in the lineup, and then to just completely screw me, Fox is moving HOUSE to Monday nights as well.  Guess what?  Something has to give.  I have two DVRs but there is no way I can record CHUCK, GOSSIP GIRL, THE BIG BANG THEORY, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and HOUSE all at the same time.  What’s a girl to do?  No, seriously…what am I supposed to do?

Before we get to tonight’s TV, let’s handle today’s TV…
The Martha Stewart Show | Check your local listings
The Latest “Martha’s Must Haves” – Mascot — a company that sells dog apparel, collars, leads, ID tags, and charms — stopped by to show some products that’ll make your dog the most stylish on the block. [GMMR: I’m so excited.  As I mentioned before, Mascot is a company owned by my friends Stephanie and Jeff. They are going to be on the show today.  I hope you all tune in.  And if you are a dog owner or know someone who is, check out www.mymascot.com today!]
