WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
DOLLHOUSE (9PM FOX, Global in Canada)
Just as DOLLHOUSE starts to get really interesting, along comes the first season finale; Putting a swift end to Ballard’s investigation, Alpha’s obsession with Echo and worst of all, one of the Actives — who as it turns out — is about to become de-active, and fast. Gulp!
REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER (10PM HBO)
How does Seth MacFarlane, television’s most prolific writer/ producer/ voice artist/ millionaire playboy/ hulu pitchman unwind at the end of a busy week? By sitting down with Bill Maher to promote FAMILY GUY, AMERICAN DAD and THE CLEVELAND SHOW of course.
NEW & NOTABLE:
HAPPY FEET (8PM ABC)
Or as we like to call it, the worst Best Animated Feature Oscar winner EVER.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
DOLLHOUSE (9PM FOX, Global in Canada)
Although word on the street internet is that tonight’s guest appearance by FIREFLY’s Alan Tudyk as the mysterious designer of the Dollhouse coinciding with the big ‘Alpha’ reveal is no coincidence, we’re going to go out on a limb and say, “Yes, in fact, it is.” Why? Because everybody knows that Agent Paul Ballard would make for a far-cooler Alpha. Plus, that twist would have the added benefit of finally giving the woefully-underused Tamoh Penikett something interesting to do.
NEW & NOTABLE:
WIFE SWAP (8PM ABC)
Paging Child Protective Services Line 1. A family on tonight’s WIFE SWAP does not allow their kids to watch TV or go online. Seriously, what’s up with that?

DOLLHOUSE (9PM FOX, Global in Canada)
What are the odds that Echo, Sierra and Victor, who have re-awoken as their original selves (complete with their own memories) escape from the Dollhouse? Well, considering the show is called DOLLHOUSE, we’re gonna go out on a limb and say not very good.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (9PM NBC, E! in Canada)
The Taylor’s make a decision about the McCoys, which if you ask us, sure has the makings of an awesome old school Western, should, you know, FNL ever wish to pull another “murder mystery” ratings stunt by introducing time travel.
REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER (10PM HBO)
It’s Plumber versus Maher when Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher gets grilled by Bill. We can’t wait.

After gigabytes of valuable bandwidth wasted with endless rumors and speculation, the internets will finally get to see what they’ve been scrutinizing for the better part of a year now.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (9PM FOX)
Jason’s gotta figure out a way to support Erin and his son. See, that’s one of the things that makes this show so great: The people feel real and — most of the time — face real problems. Unfortunately, folks still aren’t tuning in, as proven by the fact that last week, this show had viewer viewers than HOWIE DO IT. Heck, it had viewer viewers than FUEGO EN LA SANGRE on Univision. Seriously.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (10PM Sci Fi, Space in Canada)
At long last, Ellen reunites with her people. Gee, wonder how that’s gonna go? Think she’ll be happy to find out about Saul and that trampy Six? I’m thinking “not!”

The biggest surprise to come out of yesterday’s CTV UpFront Presentation wasn’t that two new Canadian produced shows [FLASHPOINT and THE LISTENER] actually look like they can compete with the best the US networks have to offer. Rather its that this TV Addict may have just met the first Canadian actor who genuinely prefers Hollywood North [Toronto] to Hollywood.
Enrico Colantoni is back in his hometown of Toronto Canada shooting the new Canadian produced series FLASHPOINT and he couldn’t be happier.
As one of the stars of FLASHPOINT, Colantoni plays Sgt. Gregory Parker, the chief negotiator in Toronto’s Emergency Task Force. An elite team of police that’s tasked with thwarting the most heinous of crimes at the moment they get out of hand.
Yet while most of the press in attendance were content in asking the generic, “How accurately do you portray a cop on the show?” type of questions.” Which by the way, Colantoni was more than happy to answer in his trademark humorous style, “The real thing doesn’t really make for good TV, unless someone gets shot. Guns always make good TV.” This TV Addict had only one thing on his mind. Or to be more specific two words: VERONICA MARS.
