It's the middle of Summer, the season when basic cable grabs the spotlight and the networks put on terrible reality shows.
Two weeks ago, I started sampling a ton of shows I'd never seen. At this point, I've rejected 70 series, and picked up five: The Eric Andre Show, Project Runway, Franklin & Bash, Workaholics, and John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show.
My television habits this Summer lean British: Gordon Ramsay, Heidi Klum (oh wait), John Oliver, Alfred Hitchcock, Malcolm McDowell, Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand, Outnumbered, and the couple on Episodes.
