Want Something New to Watch?
Wednesday night TV is not one of the best night’s for TV in my opinion, but do not let that stop you trying some new shows. Starting at 7:30 after the Adventures of Old Christine on CBS, which is pretty good as well, is the show Gary Unmarried.
Jay Mohr is a recent divorce and new bachelor who might be able to shake his wife for a more masculine like stance on life but not his whole family. This comedy is a change of pace from all of the Reality TV. Jay Mohr is a funny guy in a role that fits him well. Try it out I know I will give it a peek myself. Tonight Gary helps his family with some first experiences that every family goes through in their daily lives.
However, if you are just craving more reality, which I know many are, as always, a new show on FOX is different, called Secret Millionaire at 7 central. This is where millionaires disguise themselves as poor people and try living as if they were poor. They trick everyone as the new people on the block and experience a little more of how it is to be poor which many of these millionaires have never been accustomed to in the real world. The show may seem a little staged but in the end the secret millionaires pay the sum of a 100,000 dollars to each of those living in these poor communities. Tonight a millionaire couple goes to the city of Watts in California to surprise another community with their giving . Should be good!
My last suggestion would be the Snoop Dog’s Fatherhood on E. They are showing two episodes starting at nine central of the new season that just started. It may be like a lot of the other celebrity family shows, which have gotten a little out of hand lately. We can all thank the Osbournes for that, but this is Snoop Dog. No he is not smoking pot the whole time, he actually has a family that he tries to do good for and keep them in the right direction. Snoop Dog might not be your typical Bill Cosby but he does try to be a good father, at least on camera. Off camera that might be another topic for another day. If you enjoy shows like Run’s House and Coolio’s Rules you should like this one as well.
If you do not like any of these picks then go back to you Private Practice, your Bones, CSINY because I know that there are many out there asking, “what about those shows.” I am not telling you to stray away from your crime dramas and love drams, but come on, you know those shows are not like real life. Either is reality TV for that fact as well but as least you are trying new things. In these tough times sometimes you just got to laugh away or feel good to get away from that hard day you just had and realize that life does not have to be so serious.
