WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
PRIVATE PRACTICE (9PM ABC, “A” in Canada)
ABC promos for this week’s PRACTICE promise a miracle. We’ll settle for an interesting story, less Taye Diggs and more Paul Adelstein.
LAW & ORDER (9PM NBC, CTV in Canada)
Far be it from us to judge Starbuck’s first order of business after finally finding earth. But a guest starring gig on LAW & ORDER probably wouldn’t have been our first choice.
NEW & NOTABLE:
SECRET MILLIONAIRE (8PM FOX)
For once, a FOX reality show does good by making wealthy folks go undercover and see how the other half (read: poor) people live. Pretty much the network’s court ordered mea culpa for THE MOMENT OF TRUTH and a half a dozen or so other reality shows.
CHRISTMAS IN ROCKEFELLER CENTER 2008 (8PM NBC)
Or as us Canadians spell it, CHRISTMAS IN ROCKEFELLER CENTRE 2008 (“Eh” Optional)
natthedem: Doing my part to make sure “Life” (9PM NBC) doesn’t meet the same fate as its Wednesday night counterpart, “Pushing Daisies.”
