- ABC's winter schedule (Lost moves to Thursdays starting January 31st!)
- Two American Idol contestants to guest star on Bones (Brandon Rogers and Ace Young are the ones guesting.)

- Spoilers Anonymous (Spoilers for Brothers & Sisters, ER, Friday Night Lights, Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy, House, Lost, Medium, One Tree Hill, Scrubs, Smallville and Supernatural.)

- Samantha Who?: The Break Up (Another fun episode.)

- More Don't Forget the Lyrics coming your way! (Not that I watch (I don't) but I know some people will be glad to hear the news.)

- Pushing Daisies: Bitter Sweets (Mmmm... taffy!)
- Spoilers Anonymous (Spoilers for Brothers & Sisters, Chuck, CSI: Miami, Desperate Housewives, Dirty Sexy Money, ER, Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Moonlight, Nip/Tuck and Smallville.)

- Private Practice: In Which Addison Has A Very Casual Get Together (The episodes are getting better but the show is still not there.)
