Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Monday, May 4, 2009

May 4, 2009 by  

Bleery eyed but ready to face another Monday. How about you? It’s a solid line-up once again tonight. With CHUCK’s final episode of the season airing last Monday, the schedule is just a little bit more manageable for those of us who watch a majority of the Monday night shows. (For more on the CHUCK renewal rumors click here.)

If CHUCK was your one and only show at 8pm on Monday night and you’re looking to fill that void, might I suggest GREEK on ABC Family.  I was a late comer to this show (caught up on 1.5 seasons online in one week…that’s how good it is), but now it’s can’t miss TV.  Book yourself to be in front of the internet at 8pm watching GREEK.  And if GREEK isn’t your thing, you can NOT go wrong with the one-two punch of THE BIG BANG THEORY and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.  They make Monday legen…wait for it, wait for it…well, you know how this one goes.

Here are a few highlights from tonight’s TV lineup.  Share with us what YOUR TV schedule looks like tonight.

“Dearly Beloved”

    GMMR– have you seen the previews for this week’s HIMYM? I dont know if they wrote it as a gag on Barney or if its true, but if it is true then the writers are throwing us viewers a HUGE curve ball. I’m so exicted!!!
