I hope everyone is just out doin' stuff, or on va-cay. (Or maybe it's
just that this summer's offerings really *aren't* very interesting.)

I think that's the problem. I don't see a real breakout summer hit
among the new crop of shows--certainly nothing comparable to Survivor in
the summer of 2000, or even Dancing with the Stars last year.

Huh. I would've thought that with kids getting out of school there'd be
more programming aimed at your tastes and lots for you to discuss.
(making fun of Ian - it's an year-round thing)

Oh, you silly toad(stool), the *opposite* is true.
The only "teen" type shows that have new episodes right now are ABC
Family's "Falcon Beach" (Canadian soap import, which is basically
terrible) and The N's "Beyond the Break" (30-minute surfing drama, which
except for the "close-ups" of the surfers (which are almost as bad as
the Frankie-and-Annette blue-screen shots of old), is actually pretty
good).
Coming soon is "Kyle XY" on ABC Family and "Whistler" on The N (and the
latter is another Canadian import). And that's about it for all Summer.

Well if either of you is looking to fill time with Summer reading I
recommend the fable of "The Grasshopper and the Ant"
|
Nearly all of the "regular" teen (and tween) shows are in hybernation
right now - even "Naturally, Sadie" (*YA* Canadian import, on Disney
Channel) has stopped showing original episodes over the past few weeks.

times, good times...)

'Cos, otherwise, it's a pretty bad sign for the future of this
newsgroup... :(

You're overreacting.
I was offline from late April to late May, and I'm *still* trying to
catch up on the posts I missed during that period... I still have about
2000 posts to consider, if not read, from between May 14-19 alone! I
haven't even had a chance to type up my thoughts on "Texas Ranch House"
yet. :-( Give a guy a chance to catch up!

OK, fine, Tony - I'm granting you a 'waiver'. But just this once! ;p
