Additions/corrections are welcome.

Things are starting to get a little quieter this week - four new shows
premiere: ABC Family's "KYLE XY" (which ABC itself is rebroadcasting on
Friday at 9pm), Spike TV's "BLADE", FX's "IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN
PHILADELPHIA", and The N's "WHISTLER".
Next Sunday's edition will be relatively dead too - only CBS's "Rock
Star" & "Big Brother [7]: All-Stars", and USA's "Monk" & "Psych"
premiere next week.
Meanwhile, as has already been announced, CBS has *pulled* "Tuesday
Night Book Club" from the schedule - I do not expect it to ever air
again.
Also, it would appear that ABC has pulled its 'burn-off' of "Rodney" and
"Less Than Perfect" from its schedule - no announcement on when (or if)
they might return.
So here's the "new" offerings (focusing more on the scripted end) for
this coming week:

"Teenagers *are* FREAKS." - Lizzie McDonald, from "Life With Derek"
(episode 1.3 (#104), "The Party")

>10:00pm THE DEAD ZONE (USA)
I wonder if I will make it through the full episode of "The Dead Zone"
this week. I tried last week, but it was just so frustrating to drop
right back into a heavy conspiracy episode after having been away from
the show for so long.
>MONDAY (06/26):
> 8:00pm KYLE XY (ABC FAMILY) {series premiere}
> 9:00pm TREASURE HUNTERS (NBC) {timeslot premiere}
> 9:00pm THE CLOSER (TNT)
>10:00pm SAVED (TNT)
I'll give Kyle XY a try, and maybe I'll record Treasure Hunters while
I watch "The Closer." Is it worth while to give "Saved" a try since I
haven't seen any of the episodes so far?

So there's nothing on Tuesday that's new. Maybe I'll give that giant
ant movie on the SciFi channel a try.

so the only thing worth sampling is Blade. I'm not too hopeful that
this will turn out well, but I'll give it a try.

After seeing two eps, all I can say it's not bad, but it's not good
either. Basically I don't care about it, and I'll probably drop it.
