How great is it to have all new episodes tonight. Everything on the five networks is new tonight in primetime. Unfortunately that means some choices have to be made. Will you be watching Heroes or 24? Prison Break or How I Met Your Mother? CSI: Miami or Studio 60? What will be watched and what will your TiVo record? All I know is that many a recording device will be humming along at my place tonight.
