Monday is definitely the best night on Television for the summer months. The Closer is far and away the best summer show period. Saved isn’t bad. Kyle XY while geared for the younger family set is quite an interesting mystery sci-fi show with plenty of things to keep you guessing. They have done a pretty good job of showing everyday life through the eyes of a person with a blank slate. Like learning how to eat a banana properly or dealing with the cute next-door neighbor and how she makes you feel. Have you been watching Kyle XY? This leaves you with a very good three-hour primetime TV block for your viewing pleasure. What do you think of the Monday night TV offerings?
