Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Wednesday, March 25, 2009

Does the President not understand that I know which day of the week it is by the shows that are on that night?! An IDOL performance show on Wednesday?  SURVIVOR tonight? I’m going to be confused all day. Geesh.

Heads up – Based on the comments, it seems most of you were digging BETTER OFF TED.  There’s a new episode tonight so I hope you’ll check it out. We need to get these ratings up, and it’s going to be especially challenging tonight since it’s up against IDOL.

There’s so much to choose from tonight…what will YOU be watching?!
