TV Junkie: Thursday
Looks like we have a few more weeks of comedy and drama to enjoy before our shows start petering out due to the writers' strike. As we can see, late night TV is in repeats. TV Junkie will have an interview with a WGA card-carrying writer posted in the next couple days, as well as some DVD reviews (gotta feed the addiction). Thursday is comedy night in our book:
8:00pm Ugly Betty ABC - Tonight will feature a campy and over-the-top wedding. Will mayhem ensue?
8:30pm 30 Rock NBC - David Schwimmer guests, the previews look hilarious. TV Junkie Pick-O-The-Night.
9:00pm Escape TCM - Cool 1940's escape-from-death-camp war movie featuring Conrad Veidt, Norma Shearer, and Robert Taylor. TV Junkie 9:00pm Pick.
9:00pm The Office NBC - Michael heads into the woods in an attempt on oneupsmanship after Ryan blocks him from attending a managers' retreat. Hot damn, I'd always wanted to use the word oneupsmanship in a post.
10:00pm Iconoclasts SUNDANCE - Mike Myers and Deepak Chopra

10:00pm It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia FX - Mac and Dee become vigilantes, among other things. TV Junkie 10:00pm Pick.
