Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, January 27, 2012

The day you’ve been dreading is finally here, CHUCK fans. But at least you get to send Chuck, Sarah and the rest of the gang off with two new episodes, right? Right?

Okay, the loss still stings. As you’re reaching for the tissues, keep reading to see what else you’ll be watching as you kick off the weekend!

Chuck | 8pm on NBC | 2-Hour Series Finale
“Chuck Versus Sarah”/”Chuck Versus the Goodbye”
After a harrowing mission, Sarah returns to Chuck with a huge secret. Meanwhile, Ellie and Awesome are presented with a new opportunity that could change their lives. In the second hour, Chuck enlists his family, friends and some unexpected allies as he races to stop Nicholas Quinn from destroying everything Chuck has built over the past five years.

Kitchen Nightmares | 8pm on Fox
“Revisited #2”
Over the years, Chef Gordon Ramsay has helped numerous restaurant owners get back on their feet by helping them refresh their menus, customer service and business outlook – but once he leaves, do restaurateurs stick with it? Chef Ramsay heads to Southern California to check up on La Frite in Sherman Oaks, Kingston Café in Pasadena and Capri in Eagle Rock to see firsthand if his advice has changed the restaurants for good. He also visits Harrison, NJ, to find out if the owners of family restaurant Spanish Pavilion have mended their problems outside the kitchen, or if their disagreements are too much for their business to handle. Tune in to see if Chef Ramsay will be pleased with the restaurants’ progress, or will he have to stage yet more dramatic and emotional interventions.

Shark Tank | 8pm on ABC
“Episode 307”
An artistic man from Chicago hopes the Sharks won’t pussyfoot around but will see his cat drawing service as a worthy business investment. Another featured cat-themed business is a follow up story on CitiKitty from Season 2, Rebecca Rescate’s product that potty trains cats. Also, a man from North Haven, CT needs to make the Sharks believe he has an education system that can teach anyone to be a better salesperson; a professional magician and Guinness World Record holder for card throwing, from Broadview Hills, OH presents his plan to bring his unique family-friendly brand of entertainment to Las Vegas; and a husband and father from Sparta, NC hopes to convince the Sharks to invest in his innovative cargo truck management system, a product he is proud to say is made in America.

TOUCH Series Premiere Preview

If you’ve been missing Kiefer Sutherland on your television screens, Fox is airing a special sneak peek of his new drama, TOUCH, tonight at 9 PM.

According to Fox, TOUCH is a “drama that blends science and spirituality to explore the hidden connections which bind together all of humanity. At the center of this distinctive new series is a widower and single father whose quest to reach his emotionally challenged 11-year-old son will shape the destiny of the entire planet.”

And yes, while Sutherland is clearly the lead, the pilot does focus a lot on how many events are tied together. So if you were going into this hoping Sutherland would be the main focus, you may be slightly disappointed.
