How is it already time for April? Soon, we’ll be deep into final season and the long boring Summer ahead of us. Well, enjoy it while you can, I guess.
1. TV Tonight! We have almost an entire night of new offerings.

2. Special Programming Note for Friday Afternoon! This is really aimed at my Lil TV Watcher but Handy Manny and Special Agent Oso are having a special, and first ever, cross over episode today at noon! The half hour special is called, Special Agent Oso – The Manny with the Golden Bear, and if you are a fan of either of these shows, this cartoon event is NOT to be missed!

The North Remembers:
4. I always wanted James Lipton to ask me my favorite curse word.
5. I would make fun of the demo that watches this show but I watch NCIS so I should keep my mouth shut.
6. FX held its upfronts today but I am still trying to find decent info. Less Anger Management news and more about The Americans, an early front runner favorite for your pal, TV Watcher.
