Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Wednesday, December 9, 2009

December 9, 2009 by  

I suppose I can blame my sour mood on the cold and dreary weather we’re having here in Boston, but I know the weather has little to do with it. What really has me bummed out is knowing that tonight is the last new episode of GLEE until April. APRIL! That’s a long time from now. Thank goodness I have the GLEE soundtracks to keep me smiling over the next few months. At least I have tonight.

Although GLEE is the highlight of my schedule tonight, I love me some Wednesday night TV. For me it’s all about Fox and ABC. No need to go anywhere else on the dial.

Here are some of the highlights from tonight’s TV schedule. Check it out, and let me know what YOU are excited about watching tonight.

[GMMR: Still can’t believe that next week is the finale. It just doesn’t seem right. And I’m not a big fan of having a final six. I’m partial to the old school final four.]

    I CAN NOT WAIT FOR GLEE TONIGHT!!! Although, I’ll be sad when we have to wait until April for a new one….

    Maybe I’m alone in this one, but I kind of enjoy Mercy. Watching all the promos before the season started, I wanted nothing to do with the show. I gave it a chance and have to say, the characters are nowhere near as annoying or obnoxious as the promos led me to believe they would be.

    As always, I’ll be enjoying the ABC comedies too. Cougartown is slowly getting better and I love the Middle more and more every week!
