Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, May 22, 2009

Yikes. Reality just sunk in. No, I don’t mean a good ‘ol reality show, I mean the reality that scripted TV is not as plentiful as it was just last week.  Thank goodness for the summer shows.  Cable is really doing their thing this time of year, and the network will be starting their scripted shows soon.  Just a little lull right now…and I’m not complaining.

But the BIG TV news of the night is the season finale of PARTY DOWN.  If you missed out on this hilarious new show from Starz, do yourself a favor and find a way to get caught up over the summer. Try On Demand, watch it online at Starz, Netflix – you won’t be disappointed.  And as a special treat, tonight’s season finale features an appearance by the one and only Kristen Bell.  PARTY DOWN has been a walk down memory lane for VM fans with cameos from stars of the show almost ever week, but this episode features Ms. Mars herself.  I can’t wait!!
