SUMMER 2006 - WEEK #4: What's "New" This Week?! ("THE DEAD ZONE"!! That's *What*!!!)
Casey McDonald's Guidance Counsellor, Ian J. Ball
Note: I'm not promising to do this every week of Summer. Let's just see
how it goes...
And, if I'm forgetting anything, please feel free to add to this! -
Additions/corrections are welcome.
Also, don't forget, it's often easier to see this kind of thing in grid
form, so go here:

The big news this week?! - The premiere of season #4.5 of USA's "The
Dead Zone" tonight (Sunday night) at 10pm, natch!
Beyond that, several reality shows also premiere this week - NBC's
"Treasure Hunters" & "America's Got Talent", and ABC's "Master of
Champions" (maybe! depends on the NBA! - see below).
Also, big NOTE: There is a 1-time-only viewer special of CBS's "Big
Brother [7]" on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22 at 8pm - "BIG BROTHER 7: ALL-STARS:
AMERICA'S VOTE".
This is the special where the list of 20 previous contestants will get
whittled down to just 12, based on call-in voting.
(No thanks, CBS - I liked it better when we got to *vote out* who was in
the house. Voting people *in* seems much less interesting to me...)
Next Sunday's edition will give us the series/season premieres of ABC
Family's "Kyle XY", TNT's new "Blade" series, FX's "It's Always Sunny in
Philadelphia", and The N's "Whistler" (which I'm sort of looking forward
to...).

Ian, there's no "Treasure Hunters" on Monday this week due to the NHL
final going the full distance.
