Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, December 18, 2009

Oh happy day! Hey GMMRers, it’s Friday! Are you excited? I’d bet more than a few of you aren’t too concerned with what’s on TV tonight. This is usually a big night for holiday festivities. I know I’ll be sharing in the yuletide tidings myself tonight and I can’t wait.

THANKS! Before we get to tonight’s TV lineup, a big thanks to all of you that listened to, commented on and shared through Twitter, Facebook, etc the latest TV Talk Podcast. It’s always great to hear that you have as much fun listening as we have fun recording it. Podcasting nights are always the best because I know I’ll be laughing my ass off.  Clearly this last one was no exception! If you haven’t yet listened, the latest TV Talk Podcast with GMMR & Ducky can be found at www.TheTVTalkPodcast.com.

Ok, now on to tonight’s TV lineup. There’s not much on in the way of original programming tonight. Some of the new scripted episodes airing tonight are listed below. Don’t forget that tonight’s is Day 5 of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES marathon on The CW!
