Summer T.V. shows entertain, enthrall with new seasons
A common notion of boob tube viewership is that in the interminable, sticky-humid dogs days of summer, good television programming goes to die. Unfortunately, for the most part, this conception’s a true one. However, fellow bored and semi-lucid sophomores, there’s still some entertaining if not quality stuff to be found in the sun-smoldered wreckage of what is otherwise a completely throwaway season for T.V. Take my word for it: whether you’re a bare-shirted guy or a shiny-legged gal, forego a sprawl on the Green and spend an hour or two soaking up the mind-numbing, Technicolor joy of NBC, VH1 and Bravo. Granted, in all likelihood a 40-inch Samsung will not give you a sexy tan (if you’re too far away from it), but when you think about it, that Samsung also won’t give you a suspicious new mole underneath your navel. Non-carcinogenic summer fun, anyone? More »
