rushgoober Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Every night at primetime it's become not what are we gonna watch tonight, but what WAS on this night that is over for the season. Summer TV sucks! Jeez, I might have to read a book or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I usually do plenty of reading and TV watching. But you're right, there's nothing on anymore. "American Idol" is over. There goes Tuesday and Wednesday. "The Apprentice" has one more Monday left, and then that night will be a void as well. What the heck do I watch? "Deal or No Deal"?

rushgoober Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 yeah, i enjoy the history channel, but in doses. i can't watch it all the time. G4 has been showing Star Trek TNG at 8 and 9 pm, but i get tired of seeing ones i've already seen recently too often. anyway, i think i have a bunch of those book thingies around here somewhere.

thestand Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I already KNOW I will be addicted to NBC's new treasure hunt show. I love things like that, so I have no doubt I'll be sucked in. (Yes, I know, the reality tv hater watching reality tv). Oh, and Hell's Kitchen is back, which is another of my tv drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) I have no interest in watching shows about animals, cooking, fashion, gardening, or home improvement. History is also out, unless it has something of a "true crime" bent. I'm not interesting in hearing about WWI or WWII, or military actions, but maybe something like the Lindbergh kidnapping, Kennedy assassination, or Bonnie & Clyde... something like that. Cold Case Files and the solving of other old murder cases are intriguing to me, if done in a documentary style. No fiction; no "CSI." I want them to be TRUE murder cases. CourtTV does these kind of shows, as well as a couple other networks. Old episodes of the (cancelled) show "Unsolved Mysteries" are okay; they're shown of Lifetime.

Or, 1776, it's good too. But as far as TV goes, History Channel is running "Washington the Warrior" (about Washington's military career, obviously) this week. I liked it. Also, they are starting a new series next week, I believe, entitled "Revolution" taking a look back at the country's founding. Should be good too. Keep an eye out for it.
