Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, March 20, 2009

It’s a big day. Huge actually. Tonight is the series finale of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. Ugh, I’ve been dreading typing that.  I have no idea what to expect from tonight’s final episode.  My brain is just too small to imagine what Ron Moore has in store for us. I’m equally excited and sad. I was a late comer to BSG, but taking the advice of others and tuning in was one of the best TV-related decisions of my life.

And now for the bad news – I can’t watch it live tonight! Crazy, right?!  Looks like I’m going to have to stay of Twitter, Facebook, not talk to anyone on the phone, ugh…Please don’t spoil me.

IMPORTANT! The BSG series finale will start at 9pm tonight and run until 11:11pm. Make sure you adjust your DVRs accordingly.

In other TV news, if you have Starz then you’ll be able to check out the series premiere of PARTY DOWN, a new comedy from Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas.  More on this show later in the day.
