Thursday's News & Notes

Here's a look at today's biggest TV news, tonight's hottest programs and last night's biggest ratings winners.

~Primetime Pass~
(a look at what PTR is watching tonight and talking about tomorrow)

My Name is Earl (NBC 8 p.m.) - "Made a Lady Think I was God." When Joy (Jaime Pressly) needs a restraining order lifted in order to improve her image for an upcoming trial, Earl (Jason Lee) decides to confront number 12 on his list - "Made a Lady Think I was God." In a mean-spirited attempt to have the manager of their trailer park, Millie Banks (guest star Roseanne Barr) stop harassing them, Earl disguised himself as the voice of God and fooled Millie into obeying his absurd commands.


CSI (CBS 9 p.m.) - "Burn Out." When two young boys are reported missing, Grissom goes head to head with a neighborhood pedophile in order to find them. In an attempt to extract his confession, Grissom asks for the pedophile's help in catching the boys' abductor. However, the case turns out to be much more complicated than Grissom or the rest of the CSI team ever expected.

Does this mean there will be no more episodes of Kidnapped on tv starting now?? I'm a little confused 'cause I thought you said it was staying on thru Nov.

That was the initial report, but now NBC is saying that ALL of the remaining episodes will air at nbc.com. Hopefully, the show will eventually be released on DVD.
