Greeks and Geeks/What to Watch Tuesday

Just because I am not a fan of the Greek system doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching made-for-TV college students make complete fools out of themselves. And for this fact alone, I can admit to loving ABCFamily's GREEK. GREEK has the lightheartedness and stamina worthy of the CW, but hopefully it will live a fruitful life on the ABC subsidiary. Although the topics of underage drinking, premarital sex, and homosexuality seem to contradict the channel's Sunday morning Pat Robertson sermons, I applaud ABCFamily for giving us a diverse and unorthodox "family" rather than another 7th Heaven.

If you missed last nights episode of GREEK, I just discovered it re-airs at 11PM on Tuesday nights, quite a blessing, especially now that the monstrosity that is American Idol has pushed our Tuesday night favorites House and Bones to Mondays, already TV's most overcrowded night. And unless you have been brainwashed by that singing show (I gave up after Beatles night #2), then your Tuesday nights are pretty sparse.

Tonight's recommendation: Beauty and the Geek- it's geek makeover night!

Quick Tip: What to Watch Thursday

I know, I know...you are all sitting at home twiddling your thumbs on Thursday nights thanks to the Lost hiatus. But hopefully, you all have had the opportunity to catch the quirky Eli Stone in the post-Lost timeslot on ABC. And here's the kicker- it's still on! Luckily, this marvelous show finished production before the writer's strike, so we still get a full half-season! And if you're still at a loss for what to watch at 9/8c, you're in luck tonight. That's because CSI returns--and takes a trip to Grissom's bugcave! I mean apartment!
