Man, remember when the summer was a time to relax because everything that was on was a repeat? Not anymore.
Monday, 6/11
Making News: Texas Style; TV Guide Channel. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A behind the scenes reality show set at a local TV Station.
Kyle XY; ABC Family. 7 pm. Season Premiere.
The dude with no past (or navel) returns.
Tuesday, 6/12
More reality shows that sound just wonderful. I'm not wasting too much time typing.
I Propose (Style, 7 pm)
Miami Ink (TLC, 9 pm)
Bad Girls Road Trip (Oxygen, 9 pm)
Fight Girls (Oxygen, 9:30)
Wednesday, 6/13
A little better lineup than last night's.
Rescue Me; FX. 9 pm. Season Premiere.
The much-acclaimed show returns for a fourth season. Recommended.
Last Comic Standing; NBC. 8 pm. Season Premiere.
It loses a little something each year. Hopefully it's only loss this time is host Anthony Clark (who's horribly underrepresented on imdb.com-- dang it was hard to verify that this turd hosted the show last year). This year is hosted by Bill Bellamy. Pray he'll be better.
Top Chef; Bravo. 9 pm. Season Premiere.
Not of any interest to me-- but the premiere will (should?) have an appearance by Anthony Bourdain (who really opened my eyes to the food world with his book Kitchen Confidential).
Lil' Bush; Comedy Central. 9:30 pm. Series Premiere.
The misadventures of the elementary-aged Prez and his friends Lil Condi, Lil' Rummy, and Lil' Cheney. I'll check it out, but the show is about four years too late to really poke fun at the F-Bombing idiot in the big white house. And is it wrong to make fun of an easy target like President Shitforbrains? Is it also wrong to make light of this guy and his cronies who have made America (and the world) a much worse place? I just don't find that funny.
Thursday, 6/14
Soundstage; PBS. 9 pm (check local listings). Season Premiere.
The fourth season kicks off with an hour-long Rob Thomas concert.
Friday, 6/15
The 34th Annual Daytime Emmys; CBS. 8 pm. Special
Nothing I care about here-- other than the wonderful Curious George series, which is nominated for Outstanding Children's Animated Program.
Sunday, 6/17
Entourage; HBO. 9 pm. Season Premiere.
Sure, Season Three just ended two weeks ago, but it's back with a different kind of season that follows Vince and E on the shoot of Medellin in Columbia (?). No telling if Drama and Turtle come along (doubtful), and Season Three was marred a bit by not having the gang in scenes with Ari, and it looks unlikely Ari will make the trip (he does have a business to run and other clients to take care of). And the Season Three finale where Walsh informs E the movie will be entirely in Spanish ("Because I've got final cut.") is not a good omen that the rest of the film making process will be any easier.
Flight of the Conchords; HBO. 9:30. Series Premiere.
Two New Zealand troubadours try to jack up their careers by moving to NYC.
And more pellet premieres:
The Dead Zone (USA, 7 pm)
Bridezillas (WE, 8 pm)
Platinum Weddings (WE, 9 pm)
Ice Road Truckers (History, 9 pm)
Meadowlands (Showtime, 9 pm)
The 4400 (USA, 8 pm)
