Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, October 30, 2009

October 30, 2009 by  

Another week of TV over…almost! Since the networks decided to give Friday night’s a chance there’s actually been a reason to stay home and watch the old tube on Friday night. Between SMALLVILLE, DOLLHOUSE, STARGATE UNIVERSE the return of UGLY BETTY, CBS’s lineup and now USA’s WHITE COLLAR – fans can’t complain there’s nothing to watch.

As I mentioned earlier this week in “The Buzz“, you definitely should check out WHITE COLLAR which airs tonight at 10pm on USA. It’s a fantastic new show and I think you’ll really dig it. So if you’re going out, make sure you set those DVRs.

    Matt Bomer! Matt Bomer! I don’t think I have been this excited for a Friday night show since David Silver was on TSCC!

    Yep, White Collar for me, too. I think i might check out, or at least DVR Craig Ferguson because I love Lauren Graham.
