Pretty good week. Let's get right into it.
Sunday 7/3.

New DVD Releases: Miss Congeniality 2. Two Thumbs Down. The Pacifier. Two Thumbs Down. DVD's for Independence Day: Ebert's Picks: Born on the 4th of July, Yankee Doodle Dandy Roeper's Picks: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Eight Men Out
Monday 7/4.
- WWE: Raw. Carlito opened the show with Hulk Hogan hyping up his new reality show. This leads to the arrival of Kurt Angle and a beat down on Hogan, who is saved by HBK. The first match was Big Show and Kane v Edge and Snitsky, decent match finishing with Snitsky being choke slammed by Show. Then we get Big Vis in a handicap match against the Heartthrobs. There was the Bikini Bootcamp for the new potential divas, this segment equals a waste of time on a wrestling show. Fast forward to the main event which finds Hogan getting the pin on Carlito, only to have HBK turn on him during the celebration. **.5
- The Closer. I remember watching and liking it, but I cannot remember a single detail, shame on me.
Tuesday 7/5.
- Rescue Me. What a great series. This week, they are still trying the tough job f getting Tommy back in the house, until Sully's secret is revealed. Franco and Laura make another step, Tommy's dad returns with a new wife, and Sheila can't tell the truth about her pregnancy. This is a great series. ****
Wednesday 7/6.
- The Inside. A rash of murders, staged to look like suicides bring the team out to investigate. They are led to a suicide hotline counselor who takes a more hands on approach to her work. ***
- The Inside. The second of 2 new episodes this week, it focuses on Paul's first big case coming back to haunt him. Copycat crimes, threatened families, and ultimately leading to Web's leaving of the department. ***
- 30 Days. First episode of this show that I've watched. It follows a young man from the Mid West who goes to the Castro district of San Francisco to be immersed in gay culture. I found it to be interesting, but seems to fall under the propaganda header. It seemed to portray the young man as wrong, period. There was no balance to giving any perspective to both sides. I was intrigued by the mini-documentary type approach, as opposed to a reality show (I can't stand reality shows). **.5
