It’s nearly the end of the week and Thursday has a huge line-up. So far, what shows do you look forward to watching during the week?

What I’m Watching Tonight:

Fringe is back after what feels like a season and a half break. I don’t know if the hiatus was Idol induced or they just really didn’t want to run re-runs, but it’s honestly been so long I can hardly remember what was even going on in the last batch of new episodes? I’m going to go out on a limb though and guess that there will be some weird scientific occurence that kills people within the first five minutes. Olivia will say “John Scott” at least 11 times. Walter will make a request for some weird food while holding someone’s enlarged vertebrae in his hand and then Pacey will be sarcastic about it. JJ, do you have to screw us so bad every week, twice a week? DO YOU?

Anyways, the return I’m the most stoked for is Rescue Me tonight on FX. I really didn’t get to see much of Season 4 so I’m debating whether or not I should just watch tonight or let the next couple build up until I can get myself up to speed (I know I should catch up but I just don’t know if I have the time)? Regardless, Tommy Gavin and The Firefighters is one of the best programs on TV when the series is actually running and I welcome it back with open arms.

The only other thing I have on the docket for this evening is a new Reaper. It looks like the boys take a road trip to kill a giant monster and we get to see even more of the super hot Jenny Wade returning as Ben’s demonic girlfriend. I think this season has been just as funny and entertaining as the last, although I could stand for a lot more plot/character advancement (especially in the case of Andi). I just hope The CW realizes that they have a quality program on their hands (ha!) and gives it a chance to come back next year instead of replacing with yet another show about wealthy asshole teenagers who are way too skinny.

Oh, and if you’re in Chicago bear in mind Reaper is being pushed back tonight becase of the Cubs game. It’s listed as a 10:30 start but last time I believed that I ended up with 47 minutes of news and about 8 minutes of the actual show. Please adjust accordingly.
