Tonight’s TV Addictions: March 19, 2009

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
UGLY BETTY (8PM ABC, CityTV in Canada)
It’s a good news/bad news situation for Betty tonight. On the plus side, she finally gets a makeover from her co-workers. But seeing as the folks who give her that makeover are Mark and Amanda, we can’t help but worry. Speaking of makeovers, Daniel and Wilhelmina decide to give Mode one as well in an effort to boost circulation.

THE OFFICE (9PM NBC, GlobalTV in Canada)
Ugh. A Michael-centric office. here’s hoping the new vice-president who comes on board tonight can balance that out, because this show is in serious danger of having its lead character drag the whole thing down.

GREY’S ANATOMY (9PM ABC, CTV in Canada)
Is it just me, or are Christina, Bailey and Mark pretty much the only characters on this show who aren’t annoying? I suppose we could throw George into the mix, too, if only because he’s not on screen enough to actually annoy us. Anyway, tonight, Izzie tries to keep her disease under wraps, Christina finally gets a solo surgery and Mark tries to do a face transplant.

SUPERNATURAL (9PM CW)
Castiel and Uriel have been kinda nasty to Sam and Dean in the past, but you know how angels are: The minute they need a favor, they come knockin’ on bended wing. Which is what happens when someone begins killing angels with Lucifer’s sword. Of course, the real question is this: Who was stupid enough to give the devil a sword in the first place?

30 ROCK (9:30PM CW, CityTV in Canada)
Liz finds out that pretty people — like her boyfriend — get special treatment. Meanwhile, Jenna’s latest bid for attention from the public could result in the worst hair day ever.

PRIVATE PRACTICE (10PM ABC, “A” in Canada)
Addison has to repress her feelings for someone who’s not as single as she’d like. Unfortunately, Addison has never really been all that great at repressing anything…


NEW & NOTABLE:
SMALLVILLE (8PM CW)
Tess goes to extremes in an attempt to manipulate Clark into using his powers, and Davis learns the key to controling his inner beast. Two words: Yanni music.

BONES (8PM FOX)
Here’s a fact of life Mrs. Garrett never got around to teaching us: Where there’s a pregnancy pact and high schoolers, there’s gonna be a dead body.

ALL MY CHILDREN (8PM SOAPnet)
Ryan freaks out over having betrayed Greenlee’s memory. Really? Dude, you might have thought of that before slipping into bed with Kendall five seconds after identifying your dead girlfriend’s corpse. Seriously, would someone tell the people at ABC that real people don’t have grief sex?

MY NAME IS EARL (8PM NBC)
Betty White plays a “witch lady” who Earl was nasty to as a kid. Unfortunately, she’s not just an oddball… she’s certifiably crazy. Meanwhile, Joy tries to prove she has a good side. Good luck with that, missy!

THE OFFICE (8:30PM NBC)
The two best things about this rerun: The classic watermelon birthing scene, and the presence of Amy Ryan as Holly. We miss you, girlfriend!

HELL’S KITCHEN (9PM FOX, CityTV in Canada)
Apparently, one chef’s mistake threatens to derail the dinner service of both teams. That’s gotta be a heck of a mistake. I’m betting someone’s gonna be called a donkey before this episode is over.

ER (10PM NBC, CTV in Canada)
Everyone seems to have forgotten that it’s Neela’s last day at County. Well, of course they have! Everywhere you look, there’s a special guest star!
