MLK Day TV Preview

Here’s a sobering MLK DAY factoid for you: 2000 was the first year all 50 states recognized it as a Federal holiday after it was passed as law in 1986. Ponder that a little bit, try to figure out why people wouldn’t want a day off work, and then give yourself over to the TV. House is back in action tonight after a 4 week holida break, and some terrorists are going to piss off Jack Bauer by flying planes into eachother. Your TV lineup after the jump.
