yay for Gossip Girl and Bones which rolled right back in as favorites this week.
the new comedy night on NBC didn’t start off quite so promising, SNL Thursday should maybe save its best stuff for saturday and i’m still not as into Parks & Rec as some folks seem to be. but was glad to see The Office and Community make an hour of funny, let’s hope they keep it up.
and TBL did a decent job with its fluff but not sure i’m willing to follow pretty people anywhere, surprising but true.
