Channel Surfing Weekend – September 18-20, 2009

All the tube news that’s fit to surf …

Thursday night ratings: The Office, Community, Survivor, Bones and Supernatural did well … The Jay Leno Show, The Vampire Diaries and Fringe, not as much. Leno had his worst ratings so far, in fact, losing out in total viewers to a rerun of The Mentalist. Ouch.

– So you wanna dress like The Real Housewives of … wherever? Now that dream can become a reality, thanks to the upcoming Real Housewives clothing line.

This American Life, sadly, is dunzo on TV.

Sacha Baron Cohen is guesting on The Simpsons.

Oprah announced her latest book club selection, and sadly, it’s not Kathy Griffin‘s new bestselling autobio, Official Book Club Selection.

– The British Tudors – of Showtime’s The Tudorsmight be replaced by the Italian Borgias when The Tudors end their run on Showtime.

EW.com has a great list of “25 Will They or Won’t They” TV couples.

– British tough guy Vinnie Jones (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) will guest star on Chuck, as a hitman who’s really a big softie. He’s also starring in a new spy guy series.
