Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Wendesday, March 3, 2010

While you check out tonight’s TV lineup, I’m going to go back to bed and try to feel better. My head has been pounding, my throat is scratchy and I’ve been a walking Katy Perry song for the past 24 hours with this fever. But I’m not full on sick yet so I’m still fighting through it. I’m getting the new puppy tomorrow so I’m determined to not let this cold get the better of me.

Check out some of the highlights of tonight’s TV schedule below and leave a comment to let me know what YOU are watching. Are you on Twitter? Let me know by messaging me @gmmrtv
