Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, February 25, 2010

We’re coming into the home stretch. The Olympics will be over in a few days and we’ll have our TV back.  If I’m being honest, it has actually worked out well, especially this week. With IDOL dominating so much TV time, it’s been hard for me to keep up with the few shows that have been airing original episodes. Looking forward to catching up this weekend.

It’s all about reality TV for me tonight. I’ll be LIVE blogging tonight’s IDOL results show.  Then I’m turning on SURVIVOR. Oh the drama of it all.

Check out a few of the highlights from tonight’s TV schedule. I’ll let you know what I’m excited about and then it’s your turn.
