Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, February 26, 2009
February 26, 2009 by Kath Skerry
ou know, I totally forgot it was Thursday until someone just now reminded me. How sad is it that I don’t know the day of the week until I update the TV spotlight. I’m ready for a little 30 ROCK. And don’t even get me started about my excitement for tonight’s AMERICA’S BEST DANCE CREW. I heard good things from those who were at this week’s live taping.
But I must say that I was devastate to learn that THE OFFICE is a repeat again tonight! I thought since the next new episode was going to address Valentine’s Day that it would at least run during the same month as the holiday. Completely bummed.
Still, lots to choose from. What does YOUR TV lineup look like tonight?
American Idol | 8pm on Fox
Find out who will be moving on in the competition. The top guy, the top girl and the person who receives the 3rd most votes will move on to the Top 12. [GMMR: Did you vote in the GMMR poll yet? DOOGIE !!!]

“Mama Said There’d be days LIke This”

Ugly Betty | 8pm on ABC
“Things Don’t Suck”
Betty makes a surprising discovery when a YETI assignment has her and Marc analyzing Mode’s finances; Betty deals with increased attention from Matt and discovers that Henry has posted unexpected news on Facebook. [GMMR: Does anyone get more play than Betty Suarez? She’s kind of a tramp.]
30 Rock | 9:30pm on NBC
“Larry King”
Jack thinks about taking his relationship with Elisa to the next level; Tracy’s interview with Larry King sends the city into a panic. [GMMR: Am I the only one that is over Selma Hayek?]
America’s Best Dance Crew | 10pm on MTV
The final three crews – Quest Crew, The Beat Freaks and the Fly Khicks (how are they still there?) – take on dance styles from the history of hip-hop. [GMMR: A challnege like this makes me wonder how a crew like Dyanmic Edition would have survived. Face it – it’s a hip hop competition people, not just a dance crew competition.]

A mysterious woman from Michael’s past appears at his loft with a plea to help retrieve her kidnapped son from a black-market trader; Michael tries to befriend a rogue burned agent.

Dr. Banfield and her husband consider adopting; Dr. Carter tries to jump back into working at County but struggles with new procedures and technology; Sam’s mother (Amy Madigan) comes into the ER. [GMMR: I read that wrong at first and thought it said that Dr. Banfield and her husband were trying to adopt Dr. Carer. Ha ha! Anyone watching since Noah Wyle returned? How is it?]
Also playing…

Why are there so many re-runs this season (all of the shows) .I don’t remember it being this bad a couple of years ago.
I read somewhere that the February 2009 sweeps were moved to March in order to avoid any “disruptions” caused by the digital switch. So maybe the networks are saving some shows for March?
Oh! I thought it was weird that so many February episodes were repeats! Maybe Natasha’s right.
Best teaser line ever: “Tracy’s interview with Larry King sends the city into a panic.”
Totally over Salma Hayek, but did enjoy the church scenes in the Valentine’s episode.
I can’t wait to watch ER. Love having Carter back and all the vague comments that he was making last week. I never watch ads so I was guessing that he and Kem both got sick in Africa and that she died. He said she was with her parents in Paris and I guessed that she was buried with her parents there. It’s more fun to guess when you don’t read any previews. Plus, I always blamed Kem for breaking up Carter and Abby, who are my favorite couple, so I wanted her character to suffer some terrible fate. I still don’t buy the Kovac and Abby coupling. Carter and Abby always had that CONNECTION. Loved that Carter and Sam scene where they talked about their ex’s.
Noah Wylie sure nailed the emotion of someone going through dialysis (sp?) with that look on his face at the end of last week. He just looked horrible!
I believe that the Secrets of the Furious Five was some kind of cartoon special based on the Kung Fu Panda movie. At least that is what it sounded like from the listing on my t.v. I recorded it last night in case it was something my kids would like, but we haven’t watched it yet.
