Tonight’s TV Spotlight…December 1, 2009

Hello December! Where did November go? That month flew by a little too fast for my taste. But December’s here so we might as well embrace it.

Good Luck!!
Before we get into tonight’s line-up, I just wanted to wish my blogger BFF Ducky best wishes on his surgery today.  Yes, Dan is having surgery, too. We really do like to do things together. HA! Him – today. Me – Friday.  Be sure to wish him well over at twitter (@duckydoestv) or over at TheTVTalkPodcast.com.
Is there a party to crash?
President Obama would like a few words with us at 8pm, so we have to wait just a bit to watch our shows. Tonight’s schedule is a little wonky so be sure to check below to see when your shows will be airing.

Dust off those “Scrubs”
If you’re a fan of the ongoings of Sacred Heart Hospital then you should make sure to set those DVRs as the season premiere of the all new but kinda still the same although a little different SCRUBS starts tonight 9pm with back to back episodes. Although I certainly appreciate the humor of SCRUBS, I’ve never been a huge fan. But I’ll check out tonight’s episodes this afternoon and we’ll see. Maybe SCRUBS (the second generation) will hook me.

One for the boys
A special treat for all you straight guys out there that read GMMR. You put up with my admiration of the John Krasinski’s and Neil Patrick Harris’ of the world, so today I’m giving something back to you.  I’ve pulled together the Victoria’s Secret models and ask them to do a fashion show for the guys of GMMR.  And what do you know, CBS decided to record it and air it tonight.  You’re welcome!

On the couch
Don’t forget to check out the late night line-up below. GLEE star Chris Colfer (Kurt) will be on Conan and MODERN FAMILY star Jesse Tyler Ferguson will on CHELSEA LATELY. I can’t wait. And if you’re up early enough, check out Adam Lambert on ELLEN.
