What to Watch…Tuesday, June 24, 2008

MAJOR computer issues are plaguing me today. Unfortunately a nasty little virus has completely taken over my main GMMR computer and has rendered me almost useless. I’m doing what I can with my backup computer but I can’t say that I feel like I’m at full capacity. I’m going to have to find some time to get my computer over to Chuck Bartowski and The Nerd Herd and have it fixed, but until then I’ll do what I can with what I have.

Ok, enough about that. Let’s talk about TV. Once again it’s ALL reality, but on the bright side there’s actually a few shows I want to check out, namely, WIPEOUT. I saw a extended preview of this obstacle based game show at the ABC Upfronts and it got a great reception. Can’t say what it will look like in its full format, but the preview was hysterical. And staying with the game show format is I SURVIVED A JAPANESE GAME SHOW. I haven’t seen much of it but I have seen plenty of Japanese game shows and it could be funny.

CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD doesn’t really intrigue me much, but get back to me when the cast of ‘The Office’ is on and I’m sure I’ll be happy.
