So You Think You Can Dance: If you loved Idol there's no way you won't get sucked into this program (I'm a reality snob, but I love this show) that follows amazingly talented dancers from auditions to crowning a winner. These dancers defy gravity, the limits of flexibility and every law of physics. The only thing I have to warn you about is the annoying judge Mary Murphy telling the dancers whether or not they've earned a ticket on the "Hot Tamale Train." Kill me now. In Plain Sight: This is a new angle on the lead-female-cop-precedural made popular by The Closer and Saving Grace. But, Mary Shannon (played by Mary McCormack) works as a U.S. Marshall in New Mexico for the Witness Protection Program. It's smart, funny and will help whet your appetite for The Closer's return in July. 30 Days: I have loved Morgan Spurlock's documentary work since Supersize Me, but he really out does himself in these amazing portraits of lives changed: by 30 days on an Indian Reservation, in a wheelchair, working as a coal miner, etc. I cry every episode and come out of it a little bit changed, which is why the show is so brilliant. Weeds: I cannot help myself; I don't smoke weed, but I'm addicted to this show. Mary-Louise Parker plays struggling single mom and pot dealer with such honesty and as much humor as the situations can muster. I also love her bizarre youngest son and her dufus brother-in-law. I hear this season we get to "meet the parents." I cannot freakin' wait. OK, so I know that's only four shows, but you didn't seriously think I'd put America's Got Talent up there? Did you? |
