  • Glee being on a “TV Worth Watching” list makes me doubt the quality of the rest of the list.

  • Looking forward to Glee tonight, though I can tell from spoilers that some parts will either have me tearing my hair or or laughing hysterically (and not in the way the writes intended). However, Smooth Criminal looks amazing, there’s one spoiled dance number that I’m salivating to see, and I’m sure all the Grant Gustin screen time will make me one happy gleek!

  • Owing to the above mentioned abundanza of crap, I’m opting for a nostalgic time watching Matthew Broderick in War Games on AMC followed by a fresh White Collar.

  • I hope “90210″ and “Ringer” get renewed.

  • Really? No White Collar? It’s the only thing I care about on Tuesdays other than NCIS!

    Comment by LeeAnn – January 31, 2012 07:15 AM PDT  Reply To This Post
    • I don’t get the strategy either but apparently, when they reference a show in a link, they don’t reference it again in black text and aligned with everything else. My eyes are trained to ignore those links because they look like advertisements. lol Then again, I don’t watch White Collar, so this didn’t bug me too much. :-)

  • Glaring omission – “White Collar”.
    But you also missed “Switched At Birth” a great show that airs on ABCFamily.

  • Ringer!!! Can’t wait.

  • You’ve made my day, TVLine, I totally forgot there was a new Justified on tonight! I’m pretty excited for Southland too, but Justified is my true happy place.

    I’ll probably watch Glee, though I already hate myself for saying that. Thriller was the first album I ever owned as a kid. And I was literally listening to it on vinyl, just to show my age. As much as I hate Glee these days, I thought they did a pretty good job with the Madonna episode, another 80s pop hero of mine. But I am kinda scared to watch tonight’s episode, who knows how they could butcher the music of MJ. They have not had a great streak with me lately. Maybe I’ll just listen to the HIStory CD instead.
