One rule of thumb in television, besides keeping your thumb on the remote, is that they’ll cancel your favorite shows and replace them with ones you don’t like. Here are a few to look forward to in the weeks ahead:
“American Jesus” (CBS): Which of 16 hunks can withstand the suffering of Christ and end up nailed to a cross? Not sure I want to know, but the winner takes home a million bucks, if that’s enough of a lure.
“World Three Card Monte Tour” (USA): Amateurs get to play against professionals in this fast-moving game of luck, most of it bad. You might want to tune in for the many locations and cinema verité camera work.
“The Miracle of the New Medicare Bill” (Fox): Ostensibly a real news program focusing on the “money-saving features” of the President’s Medicare bill, this show is long on yack, short on yocks. I never thought I'd say this, but a laugh track would help.
