Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, May 7, 2009

We’ve made it to Thursday. Congrats to all. Thursday’s a big TV night so I hope you’re resting up and drinking lots of fluid.

I probably won’t get to watch Thursday night TV until really late tonight or maybe tomorrow morning. I’ll be heading down to CT after work and fully expect to be sitting in some traffic. The downside – missing watching live TV. The upside – spending the entire weekend with my sister and her family!

Save CHUCK on CNN
Assuming there is no breaking news to bump the segment, Gray from the Chuck vs. the Podcast will be on CNN between 1-2pm today talking about the Save CHUCK campaign. Rumor has it that Zachary Levi and/or Josh Gomez might be on as well.  Tune in.  Save CHUCK!
