Tonight on the Tube: One Tree Hill, Veronica Mars and CSI: NY

by @ 6:29 am. Filed under Tonight on the Tube

Lost is a repeat tonight, which you would know already if you have seen any of the ads on NBC. To bad for NBC that they don’t have anything on tonight that is really worth it. If you are lost without your Lost tonight why don’t you find your local UPN channel and watch Veronica Mars. See more about the show below. What TV shows will you be viewing tonight?

Prime Picks

One Tree Hill (WB): It is Halloween in Tree Hill and there is a masquerade ball being thrown at Tric giving Haley the chance to attempt to win back Nathan.

Veronica Mars (UPN): Veronica tries to help Jackie figure out who might have stolen her credit card and ends up on community access show in the process. If you only watch one show tonight, this should be the one. This show has some of the best characters and writing on TV.

Solid Selections

George Lopez (ABC): Halloween in the Lopez house, oh the horror.
Freddie (ABC): It is Halloween on Freddie as well.

Related (WB): This show has the pace of Boston Legal and the light comedy of Gilmore Girls but is not as good as either of them.

Invasion (ABC): Tonight Russell goes fishing for one of the luminous creatures in the water. This is by far the creepiest of the new alien type shows and it is finally starting to let the viewer in on who’s been changed leaving you to wonder why?

Other Options

E-Ring (NBC): This only gets the nod tonight as the third best option in the first hour of primetime because of baseball on Fox, repeats on CBS and the fact that I could careless about who the America’s Next Top Model turns out to be.

Law & Order (NBC): Repeat Episode.
