Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, March 19, 2009

I know you’re probably still recovering from Wednesday night TV, but buck up little solider because it’s Thursday and things ain’t any easier today. It’s tough to be a TV fan sometimes, isn’t it.  So much commitment. Oh the drama of it all.

Before we get to tonight’s programming, let’s close the loop on last night. Did you guys give BETTER OFF TED a shot?  What did you think? Click here to share your thoughts on last night’s new comedy.

And what about last night’s AMERICAN IDOL shocker?! I didn’t see that one coming.  What do YOU think about who got voted off IDOL last night?

My thoughts on LOST will be posted later today.

Ok enough about Wednesday, let’s move on to Thursday night TV. Any time there’s a new episode of THE OFFICE I figure it’s going to be a good day.  And tonight we’ve got John Krasinski in a tux. Can you beat that?! No? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

March Madness begins tonight!!  No, it’s not a count down to my birthday celebration on Saturday but rather some basketball tournament.  I know it’s a big deal but unless Fairfield U is playing I think I’ll pass. Don’t laugh, it’s happened before. Go Stags!

And our President sits down with Jay Leno for an extended segment.  It’s a big night.
