  • Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm):  “Serena’s run-in with the police upsets Lily.” She only expected her daughter to be cuffed and shamed, not frisked and strip-searched.
  • Weaponizers (Discovery, 9pm):  Season premiere. “An RV takes on a shuttle bus, after the teams equip them with rockets, machine guns and medieval weapons in this reality series featuring vehicle face-off competitions.” The only thing missing in this equation is .
  • Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9:30pm):  “Alan and Chelsea bond, and their time together gives Charlie a needed break to do the things he loves doing on his own.” A wingman can help you score a woman….and keep her busy too.
  • Medium (NBC, 10pm):  “After Allison slips into a coma while working on a case, her spirit transfers into the body of a middle-aged man (Jeffrey Tambor).” The sexual reassignment process was much easier than the one Alexis Arquette went through.

Knot Website Created for Grey’s Anatomy Wedding

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey's Anatomy, Internet

Grey's Anatomy's Meredith and Derek

Despite her recent collapse onto the hospital room floor, Meredith Grey’s wedding organizer has found some time to get work done online. Like many of the betrothed couples out there, Mer and Der now have a site devoted to their nuptials on The Knot.

“I know, I know. I secretly never thought it would happen either. But it’s real. There’s a ring (I’ve seen it, though I’m pretty sure Mer still isn’t wearing it.) There are dresses (a lot of dresses, actually. I’ve called every bridal shop in town. Mer put me in charge, I think cause she feels bad that I’m all cancery or something – but who cares. I get to plan the wedding. LOVING IT!) There’s a bride (who will look glorious DESPITE her dreary, dark cloud of wedding hatred) and there’s a groom (who, thank goodness, won’t be sporting his Grizzly Adams beard to the ceremony!),” Izzie Stevens writes on the intro page.
