What Sally needs to know, Thanksgiving week 2011.

So, my friend Sally says she gets bored of television.

These are words that I do not understand.

A long time ago, ABC had an advertising campaign which essentially said, “Television. Go ahead. Watch. We’ll make more.”

Truer words.

Anyway, everything is a little screwy this week with Thanksgiving.

Castle is back on after a week of for Gabrielle Gifford’s amazing story. Let’s get back to the unimportant stuff, like whether this cop and writer can ever figure things out or not. Allegedly a stellar episode on top of that, btw.

Also, the CBS line-up is still new on Monday, Dancing with the Stars wraps up its lackluster season, NBC continues to do whatever it is that they are doing and Fox has dinosaurs and cranky doctors.

I’ll be enjoying my super guilty pleasure, Hart of Dixie. I ridiculously enjoy this show.

On Tuesday, everything is new. However, the X-Factor bumps Glee and the New Girl out of the way. It’s Simon Cowell’s world and we just live in.

Good thing there is break, because this gives me a chance to work on my love/hate relationship letter with Glee. C’mon, just one week of consistency. This is all I ask.

Also, I should mention that one of my USA faves is back on--Covert Ops. Fun, frothy USA fare. You could jump in and not suffer an injury--pretty easy to pick it up.

Wednesday, I’ll be over at Sally’s house watching her make pumpkin pies since I can’t be there Thursday morning for pie and bacon breakfast. Double Darn. While at her house, I’ll see if we can watch the Wednesday comedies, as they are all new. So is Revenge. And Top Chef. It is only the third week in, so good times. All programming is new this night., except for Psych on USA. Boo USA network.

Why no one is showing the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving this evening is beyond me. Seems sacrilegious to me.

This break will also give me the opportunity to work on my other blog post, the Two R’s in my life: Revenge and Ringer. One, I get why I watch it. The other, not so much.

Okay, so Thursday is when ABC is showing Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving. In addition to a very Gaga (as in Lady) Thanksgiving. Why the face? These are two things that don’t seem to go together, but there it is.

Fox, btw, has their Ice Age Christmas special on this night, as well as Happiness is a Warm Blanket Charlie Brown.

Two Peanuts specials on one night is a good thing. Go Snoopy.

Friday night is a hodge podge of holiday specials and movies on the big networks.

So there you go.

I’ll be watching craptastic holiday movies on the Hallmark channel. Because nothing says holiday fun like sappy moves. I may class it up with ABC Family ones, but that’s a stretch.
