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:

As I said last week, things are relatively quiet this week, in terms of
new show premieres - only CBS's "ROCK STAR [2]: SUPERNOVA" & "BIG
BROTHER [7]: ALL-STARS", and USA's "MONK" & "PSYCH" premiere this week.

Also, this is the last week for "PEPPER DENNIS" burn-off - this Tuesday
is the show's "series finale"... <sniff, sniff>

Next week, "Rock Star" & "Big Brother" settle down to their regular
Tues./Wed. & Tues./Thurs. airing times, respectively.

And, next week, Comedy Central premieres its Sunday night schedule of
new programming (e.g. "Chappelle's Show", "Reno 911!"), "Nightmares &
Dreamscapes" premieres on TNT (Wed.), "The Contender [3]" premieres on
ESPN, and Sci-Fi channel premieres "The Gates" (on Fri., July 14).

You missed (perhaps intentionally) Spike TV's reality "offerings."

>THURSDAY (07/06):
10:00pm THE DUDESONS (Spike TV) {series premiere}
10:30pm RAISING THE ROOFS (Spike TV) {series premiere}

(I know I intend to miss them.)

Correct - I intentionally don't track 'reality' programs on cable.

It would just be too big a job if I did (and I don't generally care
about them anyway).

So my focus is on *any *"original" programming (i.e. scripted *or*
reality) on the broadcast nets, and original scripted (*only*!)
programming on the cable nets.

Ian,

One correction: No "Hell's Kitchen" this week. FOX will run two new eps
next Monday to keep on schedule; tonight, they're running "Mr. Deeds"
for no apparent reason.

Huh, you're right. That's weird, as I even checked the Zap2It sched.
grids for the week before posting. I guess that one just slipped by me.

Thanks.
