What we're watching: Finales, finales, finales. Three hours of Grey's Anatomy tonight, two of them new. After last night's episode if you're a fan of the series this is a must-see. Prison Break completes its After all that, I highly recommend Discovery Channel's documentary Shipbreakers if you haven't seen it already, and there's also some show called 24...
Update: The re-air of last night's Grey's is apparently going to air after President Bush speaks, so you may want to put an extra hafl hour or hour on the DVR in case the finale does not start on time. Prison Break and 24 are both listed as being bumped 20 minutes, no word on the other networks. Also don't forget that Presidential Address' can often be a good opportunity to see the difference between the HD broadcast of each major network.
[Thanks for the heads up James!]

yo, the president is interferring with most stuff. abc is the same, but everything else is pushed back an hour or so.
For certain time zones the Presidential Address will delay certain shows. 24 is one of the shows affected, so check fox.com/24 for your corresponding times. Also check your own show's website to see if it is affected.
Surprising? Nah, the Pistons never sweep anyone.
This will probably go unread, but just wanted to clear something up. Prison Break is still in season one. they took a break from november until march, but they are still calling it season 1.
While annoying, I understand the whole reschudule for a Presidential address to be aired, what I don't understand is how it can only be provided in SD!
Come on we are supposed to be making the transition ot HD here, shouldn't these broadcasts lead the way?
