WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (9PM NBC, Global in Canada)
If Dillon High is anything like this TV Addict’s alma matar, we have a feeling that Tyra’s path to her high school’s Presidency might not be as easy as one might expect. We’re just saying that sometimes being a beautiful blond isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Tyra will lose the “guy vote” because she’s a walking blond stereotype, while the girls won’t vote for her because they secretly resent her hotness. Its FHCI’s 2000 election all over again!
FLASHPOINT (9PM CBS, CTV in Canada)
Find out why the co-creator of FLASHPOINT (@Flashpoint_TV) twittered that, “Tonight’s FLASHPOINT a personal favourite. Hugh Dillon is splendid. Absolutely splendid.”
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (10PM SciFi, Space in Canada)
Next stop “New” Earth (Fingers crossed!)
NEW & NOTABLE:
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN (8PM TNT)
See the movie that inspired CHUCK’s fantastic opening credits.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
GREY’S ANATOMY (9PM ABC, CTV in Canada)
As her young patient’s condition worsens, Bailey seeks desperately for an organ donor. While the rest of us yell at our TV screens… “Hey Bailey, there’s a guy on death row right down the hall!”
THE OFFICE (9PM NBC, Global in Canada)
The Dunder Mifflin denizens engage in a debate over the beauty of actress Hilary Swank. Begging the question, which side do you fall on: Hot or Not?
SUPERNATURAL (9PM CW, CityTV in Canada)
As if we’re not about to tune into an episode titled “Criss Angel is a Douche Bag”
NEW & NOTABLE:
CSI (9PM CBS, 8PM CTV in Canada)
Change we’re not sure we believe in. It’s Laurence Fishburne’s first official day as a CSI.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
LOST: DESTINY CALLS (8PM ABC, “A” in Canada)
Normally, we’re not big fans of recap episodes. But when the series in question is LOST — aka one of the most densely-layered, complexly-plotted shows of all time — we’ll take all the help we can get in figuring things out.
THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE (8PM CBS)
When you’ve got 22 episodes a season to write, what happens in Vegas doesn’t always necessarily stay in Vegas. Which is why tonight’s adventures of Old Christine feature New Christine discovering a wild side she didn’t know she possessed when the gang heads to Vegas for her Bachelorette party.
LOST (9PM ABC, “A” in Canada)
Although this is being billed as a two-hour episode, it is, in fact, two one-hour outings titled, respectively, “Because You Left” and “The Lie.” As the island’s occupants deal with the effect of it having been “moved”, the Oceanic 6 realize they have to return… with Locke’s body. If that sentence doesn’t mean anything to you, well, we warned you to watch the special at 8PM!
Adds theTVaddict.com Contributer Aleks Chan: To speak of any of the moments in LOST’s two-hour premiere would be to court serious spoilers, so for LOSTies sake, I won’t be sharing any details. Just know that producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were smart to set an end date: the first three episodes are packed with so many revelations (and so many more questions, naturally) that anyone who’s been on the ride thus far will cheer in rejoice — and it’s not even over yet.
LIE TO ME (9PM FX, Global in Canada)
We’re not going to lie. We’ll be watching LOST. But we did enjoy the pilot (as evidence by our review) and plan on DVRing the series for weekend viewing. Even though CouchTater contends that he’s not “necessarily ready to sit through Facial Tic Theater on a weekly basis.”

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
AMERICAN IDOL (8PM FOX, CTV in Canada)
The auditions move to San Francisco. Different city, same Simon.
90210 (8PM FOX, CTV in Canada)
Much to the surprise of Sharpay and Ryan Annie and Ethan, Troy Ty auditions for the new school play. And much to our surprise, this is what it’s come to… plot lines “inspired” by HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. Awkward.
FRINGE (9PM FOX, CTV in Canada)
Murder, a formal review of the Fringe Division and a visit from her sister keep Olivia busy this week. More importantly, the show will no-doubt get a major ratings boost thanks to this post-IDOL slot.
PRIVILEGED (9PM CW, CityTV in Canada)
When did Pete Wentz become the CW’s bitch? First, there was that whole “Pete and Peyton” thing on ONE TREE HILL, now a photo of Pete with Rose stirs up all kinds of trouble between the beauty and her boyfriend. I guess a (Fallout) boy’s gotta do what a (Fallout) boy’s gotta do to sell records these days.

THE BIG BANG THEORY (8PM CBS, CTV in Canada)
Sheldon develops a new scientific procedure for making friends. Step 1: Ensure your neighbor looks like Penny (Kaley Cuoco)
HOUSE (8PM FOX, Global in Canada)
Cuddy proves that book smarts do not necessarily translate to street smarts when she’s surprised to discover that caring for a baby leave her little time to run a hospital. Well Duh.
GOSSIP GIRL (8PM CW, “A” in Canada)
Showrunners Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage continue to do everything in their power to ensure that Nate and Vanessa remain the most boring couple in the history of television by having them to attend the opera. No really, you’re reading this correctly… the opera.
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (8:30PM CBS, E! in Canada)
Snow days are only fun when you’re a kid and school’s been canceled. Thanks to a major storm, Marshall and Lily’s big plans are waylaid way Barney and Ted wind up temporarily in charge of their favorite watering hole. On second thought, maybe snow ain’t such a bad thing after all!
24 (9PM FOX, Global in Canada)
The threat escalates. Because if it didn’t, well, this would be the longest, most boring day in Jack’s life.
NEW & NOTABLE:
ONE TREE HILL (9PM CW, SunTV in Canada)
Peyton overanalyzes a gift she receives from Lucas. (I bet Brooke wouldn’t do that… I’m just sayin’.) Meanwhile, the search continues for a director to bring Lucas’ book to the big screen. Let’s see… in real life, Chad Michael Murray (Lucas) wants to write… and direct… anybody else have a sneaking suspicion that Lucas is gonna wind up calling the shots on this flick?

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES (9PM ABC, CTV in Canada)
When neighborhood handyman Eli Scruggs dies, each housewife reflects on how much he affected their lives. While the rest of us ponder why on earth anyone continues to live on Wisteria Lane, the most dangerous street in America.
BIG LOVE (9PM HBO, TMN in Canada)
Because every-time a STAR TREK alum gets a job an angel gets its wings, we’re kinda thrilled that VOYAGER’s Robert Beltran guests as a Native American businessman whom Bill courts to become a partner in his casino.
BROTHERS & SISTERS (10PM ABC, Global in Canada)
Greenatopia’s launch coincides with a shocking admission from one of Sarah’s business partners. Our theory: Sarah finally learns that she put a second mortgage on her house to partner up with Eric Christian Olsen, the guy from DUMB AND DUMBERER!
UNITED STATES OF TARA (10PM Showtime)
Fans of witty pop culture references will feel right at home with Diablo Cody’s first post-JUNO project.
WHAT WE’RE WATCHING::
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (11:30PMPM NBC, Global in Canada)
Of this we’re sure: After last weekend’s SNL hosting master class put on by Neil Patrick Harris, we would not want to be in Rosario Dawson’s shoes when the clock strikes 11:30PM.
NEW & NOTABLE:
THE NOTEBOOK (8PM FOX)
Mission Impossible: Get through this movie without tearing up. Go on, we dare you.
3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN (4PM – 2AM TV Land)
With the John Lithgow laugher already making it to the network where classic shows goes to die, we’d like to thank TV Land for officially making this TV Addict feel really really old.
WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (9PM NBC, Global in Canada)
Thanks to the deal which landed first-run episodes of this series — a critical favorite that has struggled in the ratings from the beginning — on DirecTV, NBC faces an interesting situation in that they can’t advertise season-three outings as “new.” Which means some D/PVR’s might not record episodes if you have them set to record new episodes as opposed to “new and reruns.” Tonight, Eric’s coaching is criticized while Tami faces a very relatable problem as the school’s new principal: budget cuts.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (8PM Sci Fi, Space in Canada)
Forget everything else listed here, ’cause we all know this is tonight’s main event. As the final episodes begin, one question is on everyone’s lips: Who is the final cylon? Tonight, supposedly, the answer will be revealed.
NEW & NOTABLE:
ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? (8PM FOX)
If you’re watching this, I think we both know the answer. Okay, maybe only one of us does.
EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS (8PM CW)
Rochelle goes on a diet and hubby Julian suggests that everyone else join her… not because of some overwhelming concern for his clan’s health, but because it’ll save a fortune on grocery bills!

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH’S FINAL PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS (8PM CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, NBC)
After requesting 15 minutes to address the nation for the final time, President Bush can now add messing up our “Thursday Night TV Schedule” to his illustrious legacy that include sinking America’s reputation both at home and abroad, the handling of Katrina and the economy. Below, be sure to take note of the irregular start times to some of your favorite shows like CSI (8:15 and 9:15PM).
SMALLVILLE (8PM CW)
No stinkin’ presidential address is gonna get in the way of Clark Kent starting on time! Not when Chloe’s been kidnapped and a trio known as The Legion are on hand to help!
MY NAME IS EARL (8:30PM NBC)
Joy and a reality show? Seems like a match made in heaven, huh?
SUPERNATURAL (9PM CW)
If you’ve been jonesing for a break from the mythology-heavy outings on tap of late, this could be your night as the show offers up a good, old-fashioned haunted house story that gets complicated when a family moves in.
THE OFFICE (9PM NBC)
Andy finally learns the truth about Dwight and Angela. One guess as to who spills the beans.
CSI (9:15PM NBC)
You can bet your butt there are some execs at CBS who are ticked as hell that President Bush has the nerve to screw up tonight’s other big exit… that of Grissom.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
LOST (8PM ABC)
If there’s one thing this show has taught us, it’s that sometimes you have to look back in order to understand what’s to come. So tonight, in preparation for next week’s fifth-season premiere, ABC offers up a repeat of the fourth-season finale. Frankly, we’re not big on reruns… but given the complicated nature of LOST, you bet your time-tripping, freighter-bombing, Orchid-lovin’ butt we’ll be tuning in.
90210 (9PM CW)
Why are we watching last night’s episode of 90210 again? Because our #!$#@!!! Rogers PVR/DVR is so #!$#@!!! unreliable that it neglected to do the one thing that a “Personal/Digital Video Record” is supposed to do. Record the #!$#@!!! show!
DAMAGES (10PM FX)
Ellen gets lucky (with a man) and unlucky (with a case and the FBI), while Patty takes on Purcell (William Hurt) as a client despite his refusal to tell her everything she wants — and maybe even needs — to know.
NEW & NOTABLE:
KNIGHT RIDER (8PM NBC, E! in Canada)
They’re calling this episode “Day Turns Into Knight” (oh, those clever punsters!) but I’m gonna label it “Speed Rip-off” seeing as the plot finds a bomb attached to K.I.T.T. that will detonate if the car falls below a certain speed.
13: FEAR IS REAL (8PM CW, CityTV in Canada)
Last week’s premiere wasn’t exactly terrifying… or, um, scary, at least not until the end, when two contestants were “buried alive” as part of the “execution ceremony.” And comparisons to The Blair Witch Project were practically unavoidable. But I think one thing we can all agree on: Whiny Leah and her creepy lip need to be given the boot ASAP. Here’s hoping tonight, she winds up dealing with the rat-related final challenge.
