WORTH CHECKING OUT
Amidst all the other summertime trash television, emerges two addicting shows that are worth checking out. First, there's Vh1's World Series of Pop Culture. This fast-paced game show puts teams of three up against each other in a spelling bee style quiz. Movies. Television. Music. There are a categories for everyone. After weeks of competition, the winning team will go home with $250,000. It airs everynight at 10 PM/EST on Vh1. After testing your trivia skills, switch over to the Game Show network where you'll find an entertaining remake of the classic I've Got A Secret. If you haven't seen the show, a panel of four judges has to guess a guest's secret. The TV-14 rating proves that this new edition of the show is geared more toward adults. So far, I've seen a woman painting a picture with her breasts and a woman who makes jewelry out of human bones. There have also been some celebrity guests such as Jerry Springer, Ben Stein and Tom Bergeron. By the way, Ben Stein's secret: he stuffed his dog after it died. And, yes, he brought it on the show for everyone to see. The show is hosted by up and coming comedian Bill Dwyer and airs weeknights at 11:30 PM/EST on the Game Show Network.
QUICK HITS
- After nearly 15 years, Pee Wee Herman is back television! Classic episodes of Pee Wee's Playhouse can now be seen at 11PM/EST on the Cartoon Network. If you've missed the King of Cartoons, Penny, and Pee Wee's Secret words, then relive all things Pee Wee every night.
