MONDAY (2/18)

• Prison Break (FOX, 8pm):  Tonight may be the end of the show as we currently know it.  Maybe Michael can finally let go of that steely gaze now.
• Dance War (ABC, 8pm):  The next Dancing with the Stars contenders will be announced during the spinoff’s season finale.  Finally, a reason for me to watch.
• Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (CW, 9pm):  Robin Antin is searching for a gal to complete an entirely different musical act.  With Danity Kane already taken, she had to settle for the 2nd crappiest group name available.
• My Dad is Better Than Your Dad (NBC, 9pm):  “This competition series features fathers and their children in challenges that test the patriarch’s strength, intelligence and parenting skills.”  Since when did NBC start stealing ideas from Nick TV?

Tina Fey Returns to Saturday Night Live

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Announcements, News

Ok, well kind of…

Tina Fey, SNL‘s former head writer and co-anchor of the ‘Weekend Update’, will be making a welcome return to her old stomping grounds.  But instead of taking the lead behind the scenes, the recent Golden Globe-winner will be front and center on the main stage.  On Feb. 23rd, the 30 Rock star will be the host of Saturday Night Live.

With or without Fey, the late-night program will undoubtedly receive a warm reception when it reboots next weekend.  Fans not only need something - anything - new to watch, they desperately need some political satire.  Stat.  It’ll be interesting to see how the variety show encapsulates almost four months of election news.

A week after Tina’s gig, another big-named guest will help bring laughter back to Saturday nights: Juno‘s Ellen Page.

2008 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Specials, ABC, Cable, CBS, FOX, HBO, NBC, Showtime, TNT-HD, 24, Desperate Housewives, Entourage, Extras, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, House, Lost, The Office, The Sopranos

Thanks to the cancelation of the Golden Globes ceremony, the hottest ticket in town was tonight’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.  Without a picket line to cross, celebrities from TV and Film were allowed to celebrate - and commiserate - together for the first time in a long while.

For star-deprived fans, the SAG red carpet was also a treat for sore eyes.  What were our favorite actresses wearing?  What were the latest trends?  Which dresses were going to be copied by Allen Schwartz tomorrow?

Unfortunately, the evening was not all about partying.  The recent deaths of Suzanne Pleshette and Heath Ledger cast a somber tone on what would normally be a festive occasion.  Thankfully, tonight was not about dissecting their lives, but merely about honoring them.

Meanwhile, the neglected winners of this month’s Globes were also hoping to get a share of the honors.  If they were able to pull off another victory tonight, maybe they would have a chance to give the speech they already had written.

Well, without further ado, here’s the play-by-play of tonight’s events coming to you from the fashionably late West Coast!
