Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Tuesday, February 10, 2009

Usually Monday is such a full night of TV that I’m looking for a little break on Tuesday.  But last night’s Presidential address through everything off and left me with little TV to watch.  So I’m totally ready for a little self indulgent TV viewing tonight.  Bring it on!

Here’s a little of what I’ll be watching…what about YOU?!

American Idol | 8pm on Fox
Hollywood Round 3
Singers compete in the third week of the Hollywood Round in hope of becoming a semifinalist. [GMMR: IDOL is pissing me off. There is so much talent in Hollywood yet they are still focusing on the freak shows.  If we see that Tatiana girl again tonight I might have to turn the channel.  Enough – let’s get to the talent, please.]

The Mentalist | 9pm on CBS
“Crimson Casanova”
Patrick helps Cho go under cover as a ladies man in an attempt to catch a killer with his own set of pseudo-mentalist techniques. [GMMR: What’s up with the scheduling of this show?  Eps have aired on Tuesday, Sunday, Friday…what the hell CBS?]

“Manny Skerritt”
Sean’s hiring of a new anesthesiologist leads to trouble; Kimber goes to extreme measures to make sure Jenna has a good life.

GMMR’s Useless Tidbit of the Day…

In1898 (fourteen years prior to the Titanic tragedy), Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility. The plot of the novel turned on the largest ship ever built hitting an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean on a cold April night.”
