Sure West Wing is gone forever, and The Griffins, Homer, Jordan Cavanaugh, and both detective teams of the Major Case Squad are all off enjoying their summer vacations. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to watch… here’s a brief list of what’s up tonight, Sundy June 4th.
Remember: TV loves us, and would never hever hurt us.
- For those of you who’ve missed all or even part of the fascinating & excellent sci-fi drama The 4400, USA is giving you a golden opportunity to catch up before the new season starts next week. They’re playing 13 episodes they have deemed essential to getting the picture. For those with less endurance, they will also air the one-hour recap The 4400: Unlocking The Secrets immediately following the marathon. I watched it Saturday night, and it’ll do fine. Of interst to sci-fi/horror geeks, Jeffery Combs is in the cast in the later eps! “Cat dead… details later!”
- HBO whacks us one more time, airing the final episode of The Sopranos for the year. This was originally rumored to be the best show on TV’s farewell season… but they’re gonna keep us hanging on for 8 more climactic episodes, to be aired sometime in the future. And with TV this good, it’s worth the wait.
- VH-1’s CelebReality dishes up new episodes of My Fair Brady, Hogan Knows Best, and Supergroup. Warning: these shows are like heroin. Or maybe like a car crash you can’t look away from. All I know is I was hooked on The Hogans from the moment I saw Hulk’s daughter Brooke watchiong with disdain as the family’s new fitness & health guru raided the fridge, throwing away all the unhealty foods, like the red meat & processed cheese. Her incredulous interjection? “That was brand new cheese.” Yup… The Hogans rule, BROTHER.
- ESPN classic is satisfying the football nerd in us all by delivering a marathon of half-hour NFL Films highlight shows of every single Superbowl ever. Attention Bronco fans… skip the one at 8:30 AM… tune in from 1:30 to 2:30 PM instead. I’m just sayin’…
- TV Land is marathoning as well, like they do every weekend. This time, it’s Benson. I haven’t watched Benson in a looooong time, and I gotta say… that was a pretty good show. It’s kind of like the illegitamate father of Spin City. Of interest to Star Trek geeks (pokes Quickdog), Rene Auberjonois (DS9’s Odo) & Ethan Phillips (Voyager’s Neelix) are in the show together… and they’ve got loads of chemestry.
- Surviorman is lost in the canyonlands of Utah, with only a mulit-tool, scavenged bike parts, and an old Power Bar to help him. Eat your heart out, MacGyver!
