Tonight is the night. Will Meredith Grey of Grey's Anatomy pick Dr. Hot Vet (aka Chris O'Donnell) or former pizza delivery guy/gigolo, Dr. McDreamy? Personally, I'd go for the unmarried guy who loves animals, but I'm not a 100 lb surgeon in training with a cute lisp and a habit of sleeping with hot docs she meets in bars. Believe me, I wish I was. 
Girls, you know in your hearts she can't walk out that door with Derek. It wouldn't make sense for a season of drama and intrigue. She'll probably try it out with the vet while making googly eyes at McDreamy. But what she really ought to do is go find her damn panties in the exam room.
Premieres!
I have only caught one thus far and that was the much anticipated (and subsequently loved) Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. In true Aaron Sorkin fashion, everyone is smart as a whip and talks fast. It was good, if a little overwritten, but I suppose it wouldn't be a Sorkin show if it wasn't. Someone has to balance out the duds. So, yes, while all the witty dialogue can be annoying, I'd rather be annoyed at wit then shit. I'm also a little unsure of the whole comedienne-as-spiritual singer thing. Can you imagine Amy Poehler or Cheri Oteri singing about Jesus on the 700 Club? Me either. But, fine, Aaron, for you, I'll go with it.
P.S. Does anyone else think this is weird?
Also premiering tonight is everyone's favorite sitcom, The Office. Jim and Pam smooched at the end of last season, and tonight we get to see if it comes to anything. Nah, of course it won't. Not yet, anyway. Why is it that media always has cool girls paired with total dicks? Is it possible for someone like Pam to really want to be married to a guy like Roy? Hmmm. There's a thesis for you academic types.
Hey, one last thing, aren't television show marathons the best? Especially when you have been meaning to watch/DVR a show but haven't quite committed the act to memory. Then suddenly there is a marathon and lucky you get to to watch hours and hours of The Real World or Queer Eye or The Shield.
This is what happened to me this summer when I discovered I could play catch-up on HGTV's reality show, Design Star.
Yes! Competition meets interior design meets flight attendants with overly-dyed hair. Well, now it's over and the hot gay guy won. And he deserved it. Ok, I'm ready for next season.

Please don't forget the latest cycle of ANTM. This season will serve as a vehicle for Tyra's new magazine: Tyra. Awesome. It looks like a good group though. One girl already fake pissed in a bed just so she wouldn't have to sleep on a bean bag. Double awesome.
Tyra is a true inspiration to us all.
