Tonight's another dud; American Idol continues to muscle out any interesting counter-programming and the CW continues its quest to purposely eliminate good shows to make way for utterly worthless drivel.

In happier news, the tournament is proceeding phenomenally. The Katherine Heigl/Salma Hayek race is going to be a nail-biter.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming: You can't beat Edward Scissorhands on Fox Movie Channel, or The Thin Man on TCM. Here's a brief teaser to get you in the Thin Man mood:

Wasn't the licorice one disgusting?

• The buzz on 30 Rock getting a second season is good.
• The first season of Kathy Griffin's reality show will be on DVD. 
• People will die on the season finale of Heroes. 
• Terry O'Quinn (Locke from Lost) talks to TV Guide about his big episode tomorrow. 
• True love doesn't die.  Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker are back together. 
• Parker from Veronica Mars got a pilot.  Sigh. 
• The pilot for Raines is available for free on iTunes.  I did watch it, well, it was on in the background.  And I can safely say I'm not hooked.
• Kathy Baker's going to be in a comedic drama about zombies.
• And vote if you haven't already!
