Are you ready for some football? 'Friday Night Lights' returns

Singing the praises of 'Glee'

There are so many new shows premiering this week it almost feels like September.

Is "Parks and Recreation," the new comedy premiering Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on NBC, a lot like "The Office?" Yes it is. It's filmed in a mockumentary style with all the characters addressing the camera. The pace, the cutaways, the lingering shots and the mugging all seems fairly familiar.

I'm going to miss Edie Britt.

We won't learn until April 19 whether Edie survived the strangulation/ car crash/electrocution (although I have to say it's not looking good is it?) on "Desperate Housewives." But we do know that Nicollette Sheridan has stated that she won't be returning to the show next season.

Okay before we get to today's column, I would like to pause for a moment to have a brief tête-à-tête with the producers of American Idol.

Let's open the Ask TV Gal Mailbag

Please tell me this Cross-over event with Grey's and Private Practice is over soon. I hate hate hate it. I can't be the only one. And if Izzy is going to die, maybe they'll let the audience vote on how...perhaps we can make her death as excruciating and drawn out as this storyline of hers. On could only hope. Will this week be worth the time I've wasted the past month? Rebecca

Some of my friends started an email chain this week with the theme being "Why is Lynette always such a bitch?"

They were talking, of course, about Desperate Housewives.

Sing it with me now. "You all everybody. You all everybody."

While watching tonight's episode of Chuck, I broke into Drive Shaft's little ditty.
