Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Wednesday, September 16, 2009

What?! It’s already Wednesday? Whoa, whoa, whoa…this week is going by a bit too fast. I’m leaving L.A. in two days and I’m just not ready. At least we are making the most of our time here.  Last night we saw the man who by the end of the night on Sunday, we can hopefully call an Emmy winner – Mr. Jim Parsons! Dan and I attended a taping of THE BIG BANG THEORY.  You’re going to love the episode filmed last night. I’ll be sure to let you know when it airs. So fun.

As I mentioned in a previous post, in a few hours we’re heading over to the set of CHUCK. Be sure to get in any questions you have may have for the cast soon.

Here’s a look at the Fall schedule for the big networks. Check out the notes at the end to find out when these Wednesday night faves will be premiering.
