What’s Hot On TV Tonight - Budweiser Shootout
It seems the network programmers have all but given up programming for tonight. Aren’t we supposed to be in Sweeps? For new programming during the primetime hours, we have the Budweiser Shootout and 48 Hours Mystery. That’s it. The NASCAR race explains a little of why we had Fox’s Saturday programming on Friday night, as I guess they figure police and FBI work is more important than 5th grade knowledge and knowing the lyrics to songs, but what’s with the rest of the night being all repeats?
1. Bridge to Terabithia. This children’s sci-fi movie stars Josh Hutcherson, AnnaSophia Robb, and Zooey Deschanel. Two kids find some common ground with the need to escape through fantasy. Find out why it pulled me in emotionally at Sazze. 12:00 PM CT Starz 4
2. Skate for the Heart. A jazz-infused skating exhibition showcasing Kenny G, to raise awareness of heart disease.
