Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Is Tuesday night your big night of TV? What are you most excited to see? Since I’m a little ahead on BIG BROTHER, tonight’s POV competition isn’t all the exciting to me. But if you’re only watching the CBS broadcasts then definitely watch tonight’s episode because it’s going to be a doozy.
I’m all about WAREHOUSE 13. It started off slow for me but I’m really liking these episodes more and more as the go on. What a nice summer surprise.
What will YOU be watching tonight?

Strangers coexist in a house hoping to win the cash prize. On tonight’s episode we will see this week’s POV competition as well as the POV ceremony…I think. [GMMR: Oh I can’t wait until you all get caught up on the end of this week/ There is some crazy biznatch going down in this house. These people are certifiable…except for Jeff & Jordan.]

So I’ve been watching 10 Things and I have to say I was ready to hate. I thought the movie was cute when it came out and thought the idea of a televised version was pointless and kind of moronic. However….I’m kind of enjoying it. I don’t know names of any of the actors so forgive me, but the girl playing the role Julia Stiles originated is really good, as is most of the supporting cast. I’m not in love with the actress playing Bianca, but she’s growing on me a bit. Overall, the show is cute and pretty entertaining.
Oh…and then there is the guy. Gregory Peck’s grandson. Oh la. His voice (and before people throw handcuffs on me, he’s like 23 – I checked imdb, lol). His voice will make you want to watch the show, trust me (if you’re into male voices that is). So, if you’ve considered watching, you should check it out. It’s not appointment television or anything, but it certainly brightens the week during the summer months.
