While there are a few clinkers in the mix, I agree with Ian that this is the best summer lineup, besides sports, that we've had in awhile. For the first time in several years, it's not all reality crap.
My opinions of some of the shows on the major nets:
ABC.....
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF-Internal production ruined a good show, causing it to tank. Sad...it coulda ruled summer drama.
MASTER OF CHAMPIONS-Not too-bad a competition-reality show. Expect to see contestants with such talents as stacking nickels on each other edge-wise. Worth a sampling for all who like these talent shows.
ONE OCEAN VIEW-AKA "summer Share"-Another lame, trashy reality toilet bowl with a buncha people crammed into one building. To me, none of this crap is worth even a sampling. However, if YOU really like such garbage...
THE CON TEST-Game show, don't know the rules nor what typa game it is, but the contestants won't know how well their opponents are doing. No air date given, so we'll just hafta wait-n-see.
CBS............
BIG BROTHER-If ya like a show about a buncha people crammed into one house, fine. Personally, it can't go to Page 3 of TV Hell fast enough.
GAMESHOW MARATHON-Celebrities were contestants on some old game shows such as "Beat The Clock". A decent show if ya like game shows. Might have enuff traction for more episodes to be made.
ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA-Not bad if ya like rock music. One of the better summer reality shows. Singers try out to become the frontman for a new rock group, "Supernova".
NBC.............
AMERICA'S GOT TALENT-A better show than "Master of Champions". This show has all kindsa talents on display, including some horrible non-talents, which adds more fun to the show. Maybe the BEST competition/ reality show going right now. Reminds me in many ways of the old "Gong Show".
TREASURE HUNTERS-Another comp/reality show. Kinda bland, I doubt it'll be back if it lasts the season.
WINDFALL-Drama, follows the lives of several members of a group which won a huge lottery jackpot. Not too hot, now that the novelty's gone. I've tuned it out, and according to Neilsen, so have millions of others. I'll be surprised if it lasts much longer.
FOX...........
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?-dance competition...sez it all. If ya like dancing, you'll like this!
HELL'S KITCHEN-Cooking competition. If ya like the 'Food Channel' & the "Iron Chef", you'll like this!
UPN/WB........
Merely continuing current shows or burning off unaired episodes of canceled shows. Nothing new now, in anticipation of the new WC's Fall lineup.
Check your local programming to see what the network-ettes in your area are offering this summer. Among some of the better ones this summer that many of us receive are........
THE 4400 (USA)
BLADE (Spike)...Big-screen char comes to TV
BROTHERHOOD (SHO) Two brothers, one a politician; the other, a crook
RESCUE ME (FX)-About firemen, on & off the job
SAVED (TNT)-Sas above, only about a paramedic
And, best of the best...THE CLOSER (TNT)-police drama, starring Kyra Sedgwick...Better than any police drama on TV, period, "Law & Order" excepted. If ya like cop & forensics shows, you'll LOVE this one!
