Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Tuesday, March 16, 2010

Remember just a few months ago when Tuesday was a rather nothing night of TV? Yeah…not so much these days. My DVR is set and I’m going to rest up today in preparation for tonight. I’m a little down on IDOL after last week’s eliminations.  Hopefully a few people will step it up tonight.

As for LOST, I’ll try to get my mind ready for that hot mess. Overwhelmed just thinking about it.

This weekend I caught the second episode of PARENTHOOD and I have to say that I liked it even more than the first.  Are you watching it? Loving it?

Tonight FX premieres it’s newest show, JUSTIFIED. I’m hearing fantastic things about it and even with my busy TV night, I’m excited to give it a look.

What YOU are most excited to watch tonight?
