What to Watch…Thursday, October 9, 2008

You gotta love Thursday nights…especially when all our favorite shows are back on the air with new episodes.

I’m of course excited for a new episode of THE OFFICE, as well as GREY’s.  Here’s to hoping UGLY BETTY gets things back on track and stops recycling storylines.  Can’t say I have high hopes for newbies KATH & KIM (although I do love the title) or LIFE IS MARS.  I’m not really excited for either, but I’ll still watch. I’m kind of bummed that I won’t be able to watch ELEVENTH HOUR because it looks pretty good – but alas, there’s already too much to watch on Thursday night.  Despite  I am ready for the premiere of SNL WEEKEND UPDATE THURSDAY – I love me some Amy & Seth.

Here’s a little of what’s on TV tonight…
