What to Watch…Friday, August 10, 2007

Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a great week. It’s a little overcast here in the Boston area but I’m heading down to the Jersey Shore this weekend so hopefully the weather get a bit brighter! Here’s to hoping my friends let me watching Leno tonight with special guest Rainn Wilson!!  The start of THE OFFICE is so close, yet so far away.

So here’s a question for you…has anyone ever seen the show WHO WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO and if you have can you please explain to me why the contestants should not be locked away? Ha ha. My friend Murph loves that show and we watched some of it last night. The wannabe superheroes were the oddest lot I have seen in some time. Hopefully we are going to get some commentary from Murph himself, but if any of you watch it I’d like to understand the appeal.

Meerkat Manor
The family-friendly docu-reality show about the Whiskers family returns for a third season. It might be about meerkats rather than humans, but it’s an emotionally gripping show nonetheless.

Flash Gordon
Sci-Fi debuts its new take on the classic Flash Gordon story. Eric Johnson of “Smallville” fame stars as the track star turned interstellar adventurer.

Psych
Gus and Shawn investigate cheating at a horse track, and uncover a murder when a jockey dies mid-race.
