Welcome to a new week for This Week on TV! I hope all of the Americans had a great Thanksgiving! I’m at my mom’s house writing this, on my hubby’s laptop, so it’s a bit hard to type. Hopefully it won’t take me too long to get this going. But let’s see, shall we?
Sunday is the season premiere of The Simpsons on FOX at 8/7c. *laugh* I have no idea why last week was the finale and this week is the premiere. I don’t write the words, I just copy the schedule. 😉 Just enjoy the new episode!
Tonight also is a 2-hour new episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition on ABC starting an hour early, at 7/6c. Tonight is the 100th family that they have helped, so watch as they build quite a large house for a new family of ten. Four children were orphaned when their father died in 2001 and their mother was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and they are now being raised by their mother’s sister and her family.

Tuesday is the 2-hour season finale of Dancing with the Stars on ABC at 9/8c. I think Marie should definitely have gone home before Jennie, who had come such a long way, but as long as Helio or Mel B wins, I’ll be ok. They were 2 of my 3 picks from the beginning, along with Sabrina, who went out WAY too early.
