Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, January 28, 2010

Is it wrong that it’s only 5:15am and I’m already dreading tonight’s TV lineup? It’s not that there are too many shows on. In fact with NBC airing reruns, tonight’s TV schedule is lighter than usual. But tomorrow is my last day at my “real job” and I have (gasp!) plans tonight with some co-workers, so I won’t be home in time to watch TV. And when I do get home I plan on being too drunk to write anything coherent. Kidding (maybe…kind of). Luckily we have Seels covering BONES and Nicole covering SUPERNATURAL. I’ll make THE VAMPIRE DIARIES my top priority (upon sobering up) and I might even get to PROJECT RUNWAY this week. (No promises. PR might have to be a podcast only show. We’ll see.)

Check out the highlights from tonight’s lineup and then share what YOU will be watching in the comments below.
