It’s Friday night! Are you ready for the weekend to start? At least we have some good TV to kick off the fun. ABC is on a roll, bringing back a couple of older favorites, while CBS relies on their strong Friday night prime time lineup.Here’s what’s on network TV tonight:

9/8c: Dateline NBC - new episode

Another fun filled night of network TV to help get your weekend started on the right track. I’m glad Super Nanny is back, I do like Jo. Though some of the families drive me nuts. It’s funny to see what happens after Jo introduces the tiniest bit of discipline into a family.
Medium looks like another good one too. The show has yet to have a bad episode though, so that’s nothing new for this cast. If you’ve never caught an episode, I highly recommend Medium for eating an hour of prime time on Friday nights.
One of my favorite shows right now is ABC’s What Would You Do? and the theme tonight rings close to home for me. I was a new bartender when I had a run in with a nursing mom wanting to drink Wild Turkey 101. I refused and was verbally attacked from all the bar patrons, one of whom called the bar owner at home over my decision to not serve the mother (her baby was parked in his car seat on the bar). I was given a verbal warning by the bar owner, and I threatened to walk out right then. Not wanting to work in his bar, the owner finally backed me up on the decision. It was an interesting predicament, to say the least.
So what are you watching on TV tonight?
