Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, October 8, 2009

Jim and Pam are getting married. Tonight. I can’t even pretend to care about anything else today. I’ll be catching up on Thursday night TV well into the weekend. I have a feeling this hour long episode of THE OFFICE will require more than one viewing tonight. I can’t wait!

But alas, there is other TV to talk about besides THE OFFICE. Good TV too. We’ve got new episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, SUPERNATURAL, GREY’S ANATOMY, FRINGE and more. All that paired with the wedding sounds pretty darn perfect if you ask me. And next week marks the return of 30 ROCK, so it just keeps getting better and better.

Programming note: Just a reminder that COMMUNITY moves to its new time at 8/7c starting tonight.

So much to watch tonight. But before we get there, it’s time for YOU to tell me what you’ll be watching and DVRing tonight.
