Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, January 9, 2009

With the exception of the winter season premiere of PYSCH, I can’t say that I’m excited about Friday night TV.  As we’ve discussed that’s all going to change next week, but for now here’s a few of the shows that are yours for the taking tomorrow night.
