Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, May 14, 2009
May 14, 2009 by Kath Skerry
The night I’ve been dreading. Tonight are the season finales of my favorite Thursday night shows. Say it ain’t so. Can’t they just leave one by one over the course of a few weeks? Do they have to all disappear on the same night? I’m not a band air ripper.
There’s nothing we can do, so let’s make the most out of it. Have fun. Enjoy!
I’m going to kick it old school tonight and hold a live chat during THE OFFICE. This is something we used to do every Thursday a few years back, and it was a lot of fun. Let’s meet up and watch the season finale of THE OFFICE together tonight at 9pm. You in?

An Office live chat? Yay! I used to take part in them every week. I miss them. See you in the chat room.
I’m going to have to delay watching Bones, The Office, Parks and Rec and 30 Rock till tomorrow, because tonight for me is all about watching and then recapping/reviewing Supernatural. I am actually nervous for the finale…I am starting to suspect what I think is going to be a big twist in the ep, but I still have no idea how things are going to shake out in the end. Can’t wait! Especially since this episode is all Eric Kripke…should be amazing.
How am I going to avoid season finale spoilers all day tomorrow??? Let me just say that I am psyched to watch Andy’s concert on Parks and Rec!! And the baom chicka baom baom on Bones, yippee! (Forgive the spelling – I’ve never written that out before and I’m stumped).
Grey’s Anatomy was highly disappointing. Anyone who watched ER in the first or second season (which is, oh, you know, EVERYONE with a pulse) knows that the George “reveal” wasn’t anything compared to the one on ER. What a rip-off. If you’re going to copy an idea from ER, make it from a season that nobody watched. My husband still talks about that episode of ER when they are paging the intern to help with the trauma patient (and the pager goes off on the trauma table). Oooh, goosebumps. Meredith’s reaction was good, but, whatever. Doctor Carter did it first and more believable. Watch it.
So, who will live and who will die? Is only one going to survive? Let’s see. Will they save the character who was in the show 2% of the time and is being written out anyway? Or will they save the character that they’ve devoted the entire season to? What a cliffhanger!
The superstar of that finale was Alex Karev. Justin Chambers hit it out of the park. I hope he gets an Emmy nomination!
Of course, the other superstar was Izzy. She’s always great, though. Poor girl has had some poorly written storylines, but this one has made up for them!
