 Good summer replacement shows?
I needs something to watch during the summer. Anything with good WOM or buzz? Anything horror related?

The only things I've watched on TV since the Lost finale have been Friends repeats, The Daily Show and the food network. Heh.

I don't get HBO and the like, so anything on those channels is kind of out.
Food Network rox, BTW.
When does the new season of 30 Days start?

If you're mentioning you watch 30 Days, then I guess you have FX, so what about Rescue Me? It's in its third season.
If you're into the fake news shows, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are great.
I'm guessing you won't be watching any reality television.

The ads to Windfall on NBC made it look not so bad, might be worth checking out to see if it's a diamond in the rough or just more rough. I don't know when it starts but they say it's a summer replacement series.
There's always celebrity poker showdown on Bravo. If you can call Richard Belzer a celebrity.

Hell's Kitchen, which will be back on FOX next month, is a top-notch reality show. Take it from me; I generally hate reality TV. This one's a winner.

Hmm I should try watching Hell's Kitchen. I watch almost every other reality show.
Elsewhere in reality-land there's Treasure Hunters on NBC, looks like a cross between the Amazing Race, the Mole and the Da Vinci Code. I think it could be really good or really sucky. I'm hoping for good but leaning towards sucky since there has been almost no promotion for it. I don't think I've seen a single commercial for it.
and of course there is my summer love for the past 5 years, aka Big Brother.
um outside of reality shows I don't know...I think The 4400 is coming back this summer but I don't know if it's any good. And a whole bunch of stuff on FX that I've never watched.

I watched a bit of Rescue Me's season two. Didn't really hook me.

I actually have Windfall scheduled on my DVR. It looks pretty cool.
I'd watch celebrity poker just for Jenna Fischer... possibly.

Reality TV is generally a big no-no for me. It has to be, like... amazing (30 Days, for example) for me to care.

You could just watch reruns (assuming they air in order) of shows you didn't watch during the season.
Like...
Veronica Mars. House. 24. Grey's Anatomy.

Veronica Mars repeats started a couple weeks ago, but will be shown in order. Grey's Anatomy will not. I don't know about House or 24.

Windfall looks interesting and starts June 8th on NBC. House will be airing the past season in order. Don't know when it starts though.

Theres a 10 episode uk drama called Sugar Rush that was pretty good. Out on DVD now i think.
It was about a British schoolgirl who realised she was a lesbian for her best friend. Her mother was a cheating whore, her father was an emotional plank and she had all the pressures of British youth to face too.
It was pretty good. One of the more accurate depications of teenage youth in the UK ive seen I have to say.

One of the best reality shows on TV right now is Bravo's Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, which starts a new season this Tuesday. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have believed it if someone told me that Kathy Griffin is actually hilarious in person (as an actress and stand-up comedian she's a bit of a joke), but she is.
And all the FX site says about 30 Days (vote for it in the KJ awards, by the way) is that it's returning in 2006. I'd guess end of summer.

Skip Windfall, its a crappy show. It was too much of a music video montage and extreme plotholes covered with cardboard copies of characters. I guess the only shows left for you to watch is 4400, Deadwood and Huff which Im really getting into
