What Else Am I FauxVoing?

This summer is such a TV desert. All my standby shows are slowly falling off my queue one by one and the next thing you know my FauxVo is only 13% full when just a mere 2 months ago I was pushing 98% and was feverishly trying to get through my 18 queued episodes of Starting Over to free up room.

In an effort to have brain numbingness on hand I have been forced to add a few second class shows to my schedule:

So You Think You Can Dance
Fox Wednesday and Thursday at 8pm
Thousands of hopefulls try out and only 20 are chosen, paired up and having to pick a new dance each week from a hat. Watch as a ballroom trained belle tries to crunk. A pop-locker tries the merengue and a contemporary pro tries the hip=hop all with a partner.

Last Comic Standing 4
NBC (check local listings for schedule)
You may remember the last season when Ant won? No? Well, back for a fourth time around thousands of hopefulls audition and only twelve are chosen. Forced to live on The Queen Mary off the coast of LA, they compete in comedic challenges to win immunity each week and select two to battle head to head to stay in the game by claiming, "I am funnier than..." The audience chooses the winner and the losahh goes home until they've whittled themselves down to...(drum roll)...The Last Comic Standing.

Honey We're Killing The Kids
TLC Mondays at 9pm
Dr. Lisa Hark helps families get their eating habits under control and introduces exercise and behavioral modifications after the parents are shown a computer rendering of what their children will look like at age 40 if they continue on the path of bad habits. Fear and guilt tactics? Why yes. Watch as the first week the kids throw giant sized tantrums at not having ho-hos. The second week the parents throw a tantrum at all the extra work it takes to prepare healthy meals and to actually exercise as a family and the third week when it all comes together.

Run's House
MTV Thursdays at 9:30pm
Reverend Run, from Run DMC, gives up his privacy to show the world how he and his family live. Yelling, screaming, whining, rapping and love go around as Run rules the household. Did you know he has five kids? Each episode is finished with Run in his morning bath texting the virtues of what he has learned the day before on his Sidekick II.

Making The Band III
MTV Thursdays at 9pm
Last season five lovely ladies were chosen as the object of P-Diddy's new desire: The Perfect 'Band.' This season they learn to live together and find out what makes each of them tick as they supress their desires to solo and become a team. (They are no O-Town.)

The 4400
USA Sundays at 9pm
From as early as the 1950's 4400 humans have gone missing. Last season these people were mysteriously returned to earth, from having been abducted, and it turns out, not from aliens but from future humans! Each 4400 is returned with a special gift and as these gifts become discovered and feared by us regular humans, the government steps in and creates and adminsters a syrum, unknowingly to the 4400, to prevent their special powers from working. This season the 4400 find out about the government plot to control them, form a movement and end the drugging, and try to figure out what their destiny is and why they were sent back. Is it to save the world? Or take over it?

Fast Inc.
MTV Mondays at 10:30pm
Todd Ashley is a finder of cars, a purveyor of dreams. Heh. Located in LA Todd, Christian and Tater are at the whim of their very wealthy clients who request something like a 1964 BMW series II, cream with tan interior with an AUTOMATIC transmission...in five days. Not likely. Or perhaps a 1970's mint condition Astin Mini Cooper with LEFT SIDE DRIVE...in four? No way. Except at Fast Inc, they DO find them and everyone is happy. Yay!

Hell's Kitchen
Fox Mondays at 8pm
Chef Gordon Ramsay is back for a second season of berating and bashing and bad mouthing his chefs in training. It's girls against boys this time and up for grabs is a million dollar restaurant in a bazillion dollar casino in Vegas. (Note: the cute guy has already been eliminated)
