Thank You, Television

Ah, summer. With its horrendous high temps and its even more horrendous reality TV fill-in shows. Speaking of reality shows, I saw a recent photo of Pauly D. from “The Jersey Shore” and I thought, my god, the BP spill's spread all the way up the eastern seaboard.

But it looks like there’s some goodness on the way, with an upcoming show on ABC called “Mr. Sunshine.” I’d seen the pilot script for this a few years back, and worried about the premise (a manager of a sports arena lives in the arena), but now that Matthew Perry has been cast as the lead it looks a winner.
