What are you watching this weekend?






Dollhouse....that's it. Since everything else is on hiatus I'm taking the free TV time to catch up on programs on my to watch list. Just finished Battlestar Galactica--One of the finest dramas EVER aired. Season 2 of Dexter. Also did a rewatch of The Big Bang Theory Season 1. Sometimes the hiatus is a good thing.
i think the only thing ill be watching is survivor, and snl, might check out elf, pretty slow weekend:(
nothing on here since pretty much every show is on break. maybe some anime on saturday.
My shows are on break, so I think I'll watch dvds of Lost.
:D
Nothing for me either...
Nothing for me. My shows are all on break now. :(
New DOLLHOUSE = GOOD TIMESAnd just to clarify I'm pretty sure Jonathan Young's character in Sanctuary is Nikolai Tesla NOT Nikola but maybe the difference is in the pronunciation.
Dollhouse, NFL,etc
