Now things will quiet down but there is still plenty to watch. ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ started last week. ‘My Fair Brady’ yesterday. ‘Fresh Meat’ today. ‘Last Comic Standing’ on Tuesday. ‘The Hills’ & ‘Cheyenne’ on Wednesday. Then in June we got ‘Fear Factor’, ‘Janice Dickinson’s Talent Agency’ & ‘Kathy Griffin: My Life on The D List’ on the 6th. ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ on the 12th. ‘Treasure Hunters’ on the 18th & ‘America’s Got Talent’ on the 20th.
