QueerView for Week of January 5th, 2009

Yup - the holidays are over and everyone is going back to work - and I mean EVERYONE (including me)!

So - what can we all look forward to?  Hopefully, another holiday - and soon (I have MLK day off).  And what can we look forward to watching on TV this week?

I must admit that there is very little that is new this week.  Most networks are holding off until the February sweeps (usually starts the last week of January).

That being said, here is what you CAN view that is new and noteworthy.  Click on the jump link for details!
