Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, September 3, 2009

I’ve gotta say…this week is flying by for me. Bring on the long weekend!

But before all that, we first need to talk about tonight’s TV. It’s a bittersweet night for me. You know I love me some PROJECT RUNWAY, so I’ll be happy to watch that (and write about it since I didn’t get the chance to last week). But at the same time, I’ll be bummed because things aren’t going to go my way on BIG BROTHER tonight. Ugh. Well, at least with my favorite houseguest gone I’m going to be watching BIG BROTHER AFTER DARK and the live feeds a lot less. That will give me more time to watch the shows I should be watching. (Yes, I know…I must get a move on with SUPERNATURAL – more on that later.)

Let’s take a look at just some of the shows that you might be interested in checking out tonight. I know I’ve said it before, but it’s important – letting me know which shows you are watching on a given night (whether they are on this list or not), really helps me to know what shows we should be talking more about here on GMMR. Don’t believe me? In the past year we’ve added coverage for SUPERNATURAL, BONES, TRUE BLOOD and TOP CHEF among others based on YOUR feedback! So bring it.

The networks are mostly airing re-runs tonight in preparation for the Fall season.  But there are a few shows airing original eps.  Then again, the re-runs are always great to…hello “Company Picnic”.

Big Brother 11 | 8pm on CBS
In tonight’s episode, the houseguests will vote to evict either Jeff or Jordan.  The remaining houseguests will then compete in one of the last Head of Household competitions this season. [GMMR: Sending all my luck to you, Jordo!!]

Freddie’s big sister Karen’s reached the final of a TV talent show; Freddie is emotionally blackmailed into upholding the story she and her Dad are spinning about their dead mother

The designers will pair up in teams to create a look for what’s being called “their biggest challenge yet.” [GMMR: All I know is that Tim Gunn is wearing a blazer and flip flops on the beach. You had me at Tim Gunn, but you owned me at flip flops.]
