What to Watch…Tuesday, July 1, 2008

Um, when did it become July? Ok, I guess probably at midnight, but still…this summer is flying by. And that’s not a bad thing. Most of the best summer TV has still yet to premiere, and the end of summer means the return of TV (as long as those damn actors don’t strike).

Still without a computer (cue violin). Fingers crossed that I can get my hands on a new Mac Book Pro later this week.

In the meantime, here’s a quick and dirty lunch time update for you all as to what’s on tonight (also known as ‘Tuesday TV Game Show Night’)

Obstacles featured include Slippery Stairs, Foamy Killer Surf, Big Balls, Dreadmill Door Jam and Sweeper Sack.
