What to Watch…Tuesday, January 22, 2008

Informal talks between the WGA and AMPTP are taking place today. Sadly, it still could be weeks or months before a deal is reached. If either side needs a little incentive to get positive talks going today, just take a look at my “what to watch” list below. Um, that would be “According to Jim” – hey, beggars can’t be choosers (although they can choose not to watch).

American Idol | 8pm on Fox
The search for the next American Idol continues, but first a number of people who weren’t hugged enough by their parents will attempt to work out their issues on national TV.
