tvTonight - Thursday April 23, 2009

Tagged as:

If the TV Gods were ever to bestow tv riches to their people, tonight would be it! Sure, we get crap like In the Motherhood and Hell's Kitchen, but everything else looks really good.

My Picks:
Smallville (CW, 8pm)
Grey's Anatomy (ABC, 9pm)
Supernatural (CW, 9pm)

ABC thoughts:

After a very controversial and lackluster year, Grey's Anatomy seems to be hitting its stride story-wise. Apparently the last episodes of the season are pretty damn good. Almost makes me want to see what it's all about. Private Practice, however, seems to still be in a slump - and by slump, I mean doing whatever it's been doing for the past two years.

CBS thoughts:

Ah, Survivor. I was really expecting more homo-eroticism this go-around. At least, that's what your ads have been hinting at. (Spooning? Do people actually still say that?) And CSI hasn't really missed its stride since Grissom left. Harper's Island seems to be a hit, but I think it would be better watched on DVD. Which is where I'll watch it.

CW thoughts:

Smallville is the little show that could. Is anyone else surprised that it's lasted this long? Supernatural has, I believe, it's "Jump the Shark" episode with a new brother for the guys.

FOX thoughts:

I still miss Eric Milligan as Zach. 'Nuff said. And Hell's Kitchen? Eh.

NBC thoughts:

I can't really comment on the NBC comedies, but it's nice that NBC has found something similar to it's 80s and 90s lineup. Southland - I'm not that into it. Sherman's training partner annoys me.
