Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Monday, September 14, 2009

Oh Mondays, you are such a tease. Little by little all of our Monday faves are returning.  Tonight we welcome back ONE TREE HILL, one of my personal faves GOSSIP GIRL, and NBC kicks off the daily installment of THE JAY LENO SHOW.

By this time next week almost all the Monday night shows will be back with new episodes, and well…we’ll be screwed.  Time to get a second (or maybe third) DVR if you want to keep up with the best of Monday night TV.

Check out the handy chart below to get a glimpse of the Monday night line-up from the major networks this Fall.

Going back to Cali…to Cali…to Cali…
Things might be a little quiet on my end tomorrow.  I’m getting on a plane at the crack of dawn to head to Los Angeles for the week.  Follow @gmmr and @duckydoestv for updates on our crazy trip. We’re not going to waste any time – tomorrow night we’re heading to party with some of the biggest stars of the Fox Fall schedule.  Stay tuned toTwitter, The TV Talk Podcast and of course, GiveMeMyRemote.com for all the fun.

XOXO,

Kath
