Is This Thing On?

Ah....summer. A time when your favorite shows take a break and you are put to the mercy of what network programmers have to offer. Perhaps my favorite Summer of television was the year 2000. Survivor was a hit, that all of family watched together. We were intrigued by Richard, Gervese, Rudy, Gretchen and all the rest of the castaways. My sister Jennifer even sent me the results of the show while I was in the MTC.

Jack Bauer is in a coma, Dunder Miflin is having branch closings, Locke is dead. All that means is that my shows are nowhere to be found and there isn't much to look forward to on the TV. The Duggars do a new episode here and there, and I'm starting to watch the new season of the Real world, but for the most part the television land scape is full of dreck.

There are two shows that I have enjoyed, relatively speaking.
Whale Wars, which tells the story of the Sea Shepard, they are like pirates out to save the whales from whalers. These people are crazy and dedicated. I am a bit bored with my life right now, so I briefly entertained the thought of going to Australia and joining up with them. Then I heard they eat three vegan meals a day. No thanks.

The other is called Tosh.0. If you like The Soup on E, this is basically a show like that of stuff on the web. I think Tosh is pretty funny. He does a segment called web redemption where people who have been embarrassed in a viral video have a chance to make up for it.

So loyal pete chat readers I'm asking you, what is out there, what must I add to my Tivo that I am missing out on. I watched a few episodes of Royal Pains but that was sort of meh.

Let me know in the comments which gem of a show I have been missing.
