News & Notes
Have been sick with a cold since late last week. Made the mistake of saying “well, at least there hasn’t been terrible sinus stuff so far” the other day– and now today I’m more miserable than ever with bad sinus congestion, etc. Ugh! So . . . no true picks today, just a grid so you know what’s on and new on the networks; I expect the usual cable shows also have new episodes tonight but I’m not up to taking the time to list them here today. The best bets reflect what I’ll be watching/recording even though I haven’t read up on the shows airing tonight.
On ABC tonight, Dancing with the Stars airs from 7pm ’til 8:32pm; Samantha Who? airs from 8:32pm ’til 9:02pm and Boston Legal starts at 9:02pm and is over by 10pm. Don’t you just love the wacky start and end times? I bet you don’t.

I hope you feel better soon!
I always appreciate when you put the ending times that are different – I have to tape DWTS on my VCR and try to always pad it some, but when they do weird time switches, it’s not always enough! My TiVo takes care of most everything except the ABC shows I watch without my husband that get VCR’d still.
