Other Options
- The Best Thing I Ever Ate (Food Network): New. Food Network personalities talk about the foods they find “Simply Irresistible.” A repeat episode follows. Both play again later.
- Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives (Food Network): New. Guy checks out some places that serve “Comfort Food With Attitude.” A repeat episode follows. Both play again later.
- Neighbors From Hell (TBS): Series Premiere. A family of demons is sent to the suburbs in Texas by Satan to infiltrate an energy company that has developed a drill that can make it to the center of the Earth. Runs 30 minutes. Part of the premise of the show is that they are to use the years of TV the father has watched to attempt to integrate into their new home, which sounds like something I would like. Unfortunately, it was not funny at all. Of all the new shows coming this summer that I have seen, which is most of them, this is the worst. Now, I don’t really watch a lot of the animated comedies out there, but at least on the rare occasion that I watch one of them they usually are good for a couple of laughs. So, if you are looking for an unfunny South Park, then this might just be for you.
- Nurse Jackie (Showtime): Season Finale. Jackie is back at work and can no longer avoid all those confrontations she has been trying to avoid. Plays again later.
- Persons Unknown (NBC): Series Premiere. Seven people get taken from their homes and dumped in a small deserted remote town. They have no idea how they got there or why them. They must try to work together to solve the mystery and attempt to get back.
- United States of Tara (Showtime): Season Finale. Tara talks to her parents about her childhood at Charmaines’s wedding. Kate and Marshall find out a secret. Plays again later.
