Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, January 29, 2010

I’m gonna go ahead and start the slow golf clap for Friday! Finally, it’s here!

Today is my last day at my “real job”. I wish I could say my new adventure meant that I was going to be dedicating myself full time to GMMR, but sadly that’s not the case. What I really need is my very own Daddy Warbucks to bankroll this side hobby of mine.  He doesn’t even have to buy me a new locket, just put me up in a sweet pad in West Hollywood and we’re good.

Oh wait, were you here to see the highlights from tonight’s TV schedule? My bad.

I think the big TV news for tonight is the final episode of DOLLHOUSE. The Whedonverse will shed tears of another show gone too soon (of course I say that with a hint of jest because DOLLHOUSE probably should have been gone a lot sooner.) Here’s the hoping all the inhabitants of the house show up on our TV again soon. (I’m talking to you Enver!)

I’m excited for tonight’s second episode of CAPRICA. Is anyone else watching? I need to know whether or not the show should be covered on the site or on the podcast only.  Dan and I love it so we’ll be talking about it. Don’t you want to be able to join in on the discussion. Will you be watching CAPRICA?

SMALLVILLE fans finally get a new episode tonight. You’ve all been patient. I hope you’ll come back to GMMR to talk about tonight’s episode. I know Sarah would love it!

One more thing….if you’re a fan of WHITE COLLAR (or CHUCK) tune into ELLEN today as Matthew Bomer (Neal Caffrey/Bryce Larkin) is a guest. Fingers crossed that he dances his way out to meet Ellen.

Here are a few more highlights from tonight’s TV schedule.
