Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Sunday, September 20, 2009

It’s another Sunday night where you can’t dare say there’s just nothing to watch.  The Emmys alone should be enough to keep you busy, but it TV award shows just aren’t your thing, there’s always HBO’s killer line-up. CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is back for a new season, and BORED TO DEATH starring Jason Schwartzman premieres tonight.

The final three crews perform and the two crews moving on to next week’s finale go head-to-head in the penultimate episode of AMERICA’S BEST DANCE CREW.  I was in the audience for the taping this week so I can’t wait to see how it all came together for TV.
