Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, November 6, 2009

TGIF my friends! Did you survive the Thursday night TV lineup?  I hope so. Check back throughout the day as we’ll have reviews and discussions on many of last night’s shows including BONES, THE OFFICE, SUPERNATURAL, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and more.

As for tonight’s lineup, well there’s plenty to choose from.  But my one pick would be WHITE COLLAR at 10pm on USA. I’m loving this show. I realize that with all of my health woes I haven’t been writing enough lately, but I’m going to start to fold WHITE COLLAR into the mix. Check back tomorrow for a full episode discussion! Who needs pain meds when there’s Matt Bomer to look at.

Don’t forget to check out John Krasinski from THE OFFICE on THE VIEW this morning.  He’ll also be live chatting on Boston.com at 12pm EST (It’s 9am now. So that leaves me three hours to find a wheelchair and someone with a wheelchair van to drive me into work today. I’m sure my bosses will understand, right? I mean I’ve been out of work for a month, and I just happen to show up the one day John Krasinski is in the office.  Yeah, I’m sure they wouldn’t care. But seriously – JKras visits my office when I’m not there? Cruel.)

If you’re going out tonight (or going to bed early), set those DVRs because Cory Monteith from GLEE with be on with Conan.  Ian Somerholder from THE VAMPIRE DIARIES is talking with Jimmy Fallon. And Ricky Gervais is on Letterman.
