summer tv

does crappy summer tv have you down? then you should start exploring your other channels! i highly recommend animal planet, which has this awesome series called meerkat manor. the meerkat matriarch is named flower, and her male companion is zaphod (they have adult children named tosca, mozart, and shakespeare), so that is entertaining enough to be worth watching, but there are also turf wars, baby meerkats, forbidden romance, and the meerkat named shakespeare getting bit by a puff adder--WILL HE SURVIVE???? (i don't know yet.)

i guess a new season of project runway starts soon too, and entourage is pretty awesome, but i don't recommend hbo's weird new sitcom lucky louie, which is like any horribly stupid sitcom on network tv, only with worse language. by the way, i hate laugh tracks.

what are you guys watching this summer?

Wow, that Lucky Louie show is so bad... and it looks like they filmed it in the 1970s, with the cheapo film stock or whatever. awful!

I'm watching Deadwood. And Huff, although now the main character's a jerk and it's not very engaging. I also discovered the Fear Factor: Reality TV All-Stars thing... Perhaps the worst thing ever made for TV on so many levels. I had been watching Doctor Who, but it's already over. There's just not much on that appeals to me right now, which I suppose is a good thing?

There are two people from MTV's Real World on it... and come on, every 4 months there's a new "real world / road rules challenge" that is essentially "fear factor" for the MTV kids... so you know they'll be tough to beat with all that practice doing stupid things and eating gross stuff.

OH, and I have been watching Last Comic Standing as well. Jay Mohr was a far better host than the "Yes, Dear" guy they have this time, but perhaps the network will play the entire season this summer, instead of cutting it before the last episode gets aired...

the commercials with that little blonde girl from the 4400 give me the willies!
