News & Notes
Sorry things have been a bit rushed of late; abbreviated picks again today. I should have full picks tomorrow; I’ll tell you what I thought of the first episode of Dollhouse– the new show from Joss Whedon which stars Eliza Dushku and premieres tomorrow night on FOX.
Bones and Hell’s Kitchen are pre-empted tonight for an awards show, but should be back next week.
Note that tonight is the crossover episode between Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice so if you usually watch just one of those shows, you might want to watch/record the other tonight.
Amazon’s Gold Box Deal of the Day is on Land of the Giants – The Full Series (The Giant Collection)
