This thread follows the ones from Monday and Tuesday
So far, the network pickings for fall viewing have been what you call slim.
Let’s see what Wednesday has to offer to the inveterate couch potato. As usual, I leave out Cable, Satellite and PBS offerings due to the vagaries of availability, but feel free to chime in with your fave if you know when it will be on for you. (I’m a fan of Comedy Central, TNT, and LinkTV myself)
8:00-9:00

[li]Lost (ABC)[/li][li]60 Minutes II (CBS)[/li][li]That 70’s Show / Quintuplets (Fox; Both start up in June)[/li][li]Hawaii (NBC)[/li][li]America’s Next Top Model (UPN)[/li][li]Smallville (WB)[/li][/ul]
My choice: “60 Minutes II”. they’ve been breaking all the really amazing stories for the past year.
I never got into “Smallville”, couldn’t give a crap who “America’s Next Top Model” will be, and “That 70s Show” has peaked, IMO.
“Quintuplets” is Andy Richter with a lot of kids, “Lost” is Gilligan’s Island squared, and “Hawaii” will probably be a pretty island with a bad plot lousing up the view.

[li]The Bachelor (ABC)[/li][li]King of Queens / Center of the Universe (CBS)[/li][li]Simple Life 2 (June to October, then replaced by Bernie Mac)/ Method and Red (Fox) [/li][li]West Wing (NBC)[/li][li]Kevin Hill (UPN)[/li][li]Blue Collar TV /Drew Carey’s Green Screen (WB)[/li][/ul]
My choice: Believe it or not, my wife and I have gotten into local syndicated reruns of “The King of Queens”, so we’ll watch that, and pray that John Goodman can be good in another comedy (“Center of the Universe”), which will be worth checking out once just for the amazing cast they’ve put together (follow the link). My wife might want to flip over to “The Simple Life 2” on occasion.
“The Bachelor” is what it is (yawn), and sorry folks, but I’ve never been able watch more than about three minutes of “The West Wing”. Don’t know what people see in it.
“Kevin Hill” is another generic UPN show, “Blue Collar Comedy” is sketch/variety starring Jeff Foxworthy (down, stomach), and “Green Screen” is whatever has been brewing in Drew Carey’s fevered brain while twisting in the wind, filming a contract-fulfilling season of “The Drew Carey Show” destined never to air. I’m afraid, Mommy.

[li]Wife Swap (ABC)[/li][li]CSI: New York (CBS)[/li][li]Law & Order (NBC)[/li][/ul]
My choice: I have the first two seasons of “L&O” on DVD, and by god, they better start cranking out the Lenny Briscoe years good and quick. 'Nuff said. I can only hope we get the Dennis Farina from “Snatch” and not the one from “That Old Feeling”.
