What to Watch…Monday, August 25, 2008
August 25, 2008 by Kath Skerry
Happy Monday GMMRers. I hope you all had a nice weekend. I spent some time in New Hampshire with my family and had a great time. We spent a bit of time watching the Olympics this weekend and I fear that I’m going to go through a bit of Olympic withdrawl this week. I was surprised how caught up I was in the games. It was an incredible two weeks. But now it’s time to prep for Fall TV which is just around the corner. It’s time to get excited!
But until Fall TV officially kicks off, there’s plenty to watch. Here’s a few highlights of tonight’s TV schedule.
2008 Democratic National Convention | 10pm on NBC
(for full coverage check your local listings)
Michelle Obama is the featured speaker as the Democratic Convention opens in Denver. Also scheduled: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal.) and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.); a tribute to Ted Kennedy. Luke Russert reports on youth issues.
America’s Toughest Jobs | 9pm on NBC
The opener of this competition series in which average joes perform dangerous and physically demanding jobs. The winner is awarded the annual salary of each job completed.

After the death of a young Mexican woman, everyone is forced to deal with and confront racial and political issues within the city; Ham continues to be shaken by a family event in his past that led to an unfortunate ending.

The four friends are still reeling from the pressures of their first year together in Los Angeles, and the now single girls are determined to stick it out despite problems with new boyfriends that test their loyalty to each other.
Rerun Central…
Some of my faves are in rerun mode tonight so I thought I would share a few with you. And remember, if you haven’t seen it it’s new to you!

I think I’ll watch some of deal or no deal at 8:00 then catch American’s Toughest Jobs at 9. Hills at 9:30 and the premiere of Exiled on MTV at 10:30
Exiled is a new show about 8 of those spoiled kids my super sweet 16 and how their parents ship them off to another country for a reality check.
Now that’s entertainment watching some spoiled kids actually have to work for a change. Call me mean but I’ll be enjoying it.
oops.. i mean Hills at 10. 😐
GMMR, reading your twitter, I am so sorry to hear about your mail issues. That is just horrible.
I too loved the Olympics, from 2-year to 4-year lags between them, I always forget how much I actually enjoy the games. Many of these athletes are forces of nature and I am in awe of all of them. And who had a dry eye when the US Men’s Vball team took gold and their coach who just lost his father-in-law two weeks ago had to go hide for a moment to collect himself. I also have to say that putting politics aside (which is difficult to do when human rights are being violated daily) that the Chinese did themselves proud. OMG, the architecture alone is amazing. I would not want to be in charge of planning n London right now as that was a mighty task to follow.
