| Summer usually
means reruns, but it's also a chance to see,
maybe for the only time, pilots for series
that didn't get picked up for the regular
season. Here are a few to look out for: |
| “I'm Hmong,
He's Mong”
(UPN): A sitcom about feuding
brothers-in-law, done entirely in
Hmong, or Mong. But without any
dubbing or subtitles it's
a bit confusing, and the
deafening laugh track
doesn't help. |
| “The Marlon Brando
Show” (E!): Only
one episode of this Anna
Nicole-inspired reality series
was ever taped, but it's
understandable, given the moody
method actor spends the entire
time locked in the bathroom with
the water running. |
| “Face the Nation
Primetime” (CBS):
Why anyone would want to put
newsman Bob Schieffer in a tuxedo
and throw him out on a stage with
dancers and a full orchestra is
beyond me, but this nighttime
version of the venerable Sunday
morning talk show is worth
watching if only for the
department store sketch featuring
National Security Adviser
Condoleezza Rice and former
Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger. |
| There are
others, but these are the best.
Happy viewing! |
