Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, June 12, 2009

T.G.I.Freaking F! The weekend is so close I can almost taste it. It’s been a long week for me. Hopefully yours has gone by a bit faster.

Project Supernatural
It’s my goal to be completely caught up with SUPERNATURAL by the time it returns to the air in the Fall.  It’s going to be tough, but I’ll try.  I have no doubt that I will love this show as much as others if I just give it a shot. But I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t freak me out a little.  I’m a big baby. I love don’t like scary stuff.

Tonight’s I’ll be taking on two new episodes.

Hook Man | Season 1, Episode 7
Sam and Dean help a girl whose date became a victim of the “Hook Man,” a famous urban legend that turns out to be real, in a small college town somewhere in Iowa. In order to save her and her father, the local minister, the brothers have to find the ghost’s bones so they can destroy them. One tiny problem… they’re in an unmarked grave.

Bugs | Season 1, Episode 8
Dean and Sam arrive in a town checking up a report of a mysterious death, and stop at a realtor’s open house barbecue. Sam meets the realtor’s son Matt, who is fascinated with bugs. Soon the town is invaded by swarms of deadly bugs, and there may be no way out. [GMMR: I’m dreading this episode already. I have a HUGE fear of bugs.  This is going to be a tough one for me to get through. But I’ll do it.]
