Must See TV

I'm coming out of hiding. Okay, I haven't really been hiding. Just busy. And preoccupied. But I felt the need to blog about how much I am anticipating Thursday night TV tonight. Typically, I'd be pretty pissed that The Office and ER, both of which JUST RETURNED LAST WEEK are being pre-empted. And last week, I nearly blew a gasket when what was supposed to be the beginning of the season premiere of Criminal Minds turned into an episode of Diminutive Minds with the appearance of our president, Alfred E. Neumann. But folks, tonight's TV could prove to be even more entertaining than Michael Scott and Dwight Shrute. Maybe more dramatic than last week's killing off of Pratt. Tonight, I will be curling up on the couch with Benny, a big bowl of popcorn, and a nice steaming mug of hot chocolate, and I'll be watching the Vice Presidential Debate. If any of you have been watching recent footage of CBS interviews of Sarah Palin by Katie Couric, you will know exactly what I'm getting at. I'm all for women advancing, but let's try to find one who actually knows a little something about....anything. Actually, I'd be more likely to support Katie Couric on a VP ticket than Sarah Palin. And I'll be eagerly anticipating SNL this week. There isn't much that will keep me up til 11:30, but Tina Fey probably will. And if not, there's my trusty TiVo.
