Watchlist: Thursday, January 11, 2007

WOW! Talk about a busy night for TV. I truly wish I could watch all the shows I have listed here. Not a dud among them. My first born goes to the person that develops the DVR/TiVo that can record 6 shows at one time. The 9 p.m. hour is the toughest for me. Sadly, I have to skip Scrubs and 30 Rock in favor of Grey’s Anatomy and The O.C.. No one should be forced to make those kind of decisions. It’s just not right.

My Name is Earl – Buried Treasure
Earl doesn’t know who to believe when Joy, Darnell and Randy give differing accounts as to what happened to his missing buried treasure.

The Office – Traveling Salesman
Michael pushes his desk jockeys to pair up and hit the road for sales-call duty. Meanwhile, Angela misses a crucial deadline, so her secret boyfriend, Dwight, tries to cover for her; and surprising news comes Karen’s way.

The O.C. – The French Connection
Ryan reads between the lines when Taylor’s ex-husband (Henri Lubatti) promotes his risqué novel in Newport; Summer gets a glimpse of married life from her socialite peers, while Seth flies to Seattle in search of Dr. Roberts’ blessing.

Grey’s Anatomy – Six Days
Part 1 of 2. After a successful heart operation, George’s father (George Dzundza) undergoes cancer surgery; Thatcher Grey (Jeff Perry) visits the hospital to see his new granddaughter; and Meredith discovers that Derek isn’t a sound sleeper.

Scrubs – My Friend with Money
Elliot splurges on items for the apartment that she shares with J.D.; Dr. Cox and the Janitor become roommates, taking up joint residence in one of Sacred Heart’s luxury suites; Turk encourages a depressed Carla to get help from a professional.

Ugly Betty – Sofia’s Choice
Betty finds a way to mess up Daniel’s future plans with Sofia when she makes a startling discovery. Meanwhile, the Ice Queen, er, Wilhelmina melts under Ted’s romantic stare.

30 Rock – The Rural Juror
Tracy joins the ranks of true celebrity when he sells his soul to get out debt. Speaking of lost souls, Jenna is excited about the opening of her independent movie, regardless of its ridiculous “The Rural Juror” title.

Smallville – Hydro
Go, Tori! 90120’s favorite virgin makes life miserable for Lana, Lex, Chloe and Clark. Really, would you expect anything less?
