Monday 6/13.
- WWE: Raw. The show started with Stone Cold listening to Hassan's grievances, and agreeing with them. That leads to the opening match of Hassan v Shelton Benjamin, which ends with the inevitable stunner. Next up HHH is upset over potential draft choices. Chris Masters comes out with another challenge, answered by Sgt. Slaughter. Christian and Tomko took on Jericho and Cena in a decent tag match. Viscera came out with Lillian for his squash match on Maven. The final match was Kane handily taking care of Sylvan Grenier, while Edge and Lita announce impending nuptials. The final segment announced Kurt Angle as the latest draft choice. ***
- The Closer. New series starring Kyra Sedgwick as an interrogator moving from the south to California and assigned to find a murderer. This could turn out to be a good show, on the surface it is another procedural. What I like is the Southern styled lead, a fish out of water type story. It will be interesting to watch it develop. ***
Tuesday 6/14.
- Nothing.
Wednesday 6/15.
- The Inside. Less bloody the first episode, but perhaps a bit more twisted. This time they team dives inside the world of S&M. I don't recall many details, outside of enjoying the episode. Although I wonder if there are coming to be too many of these procedural type shows on. ***
Thursday 6/16.
- WWE: Smackdown. A power outage forced me to miss the first hour,but I did learn that Eddie destroyed Paul London and Rey made his return taking out Eddie. Also, the Bashams quit the Cabinet and the Undertaker took all of them out. Big Show took on Matt Morgan with some interference from Carlito. Orlando Jordan took on Hardcore Holly and won through a little bit of cheating. Heidenreich made some new friends, and ended up getting blasted by MNM. The final match was JBL v Undertaker in a no disqualification match. JBL won after some interference from the latest draft pick Randy Orton. **.5

I'm getting a little bored with The Dead Zone. Seems like the concept is getting a little stale. Maybe this new evil dude (the guy that bailed the preacher out of jail and talked Stillson through his father's "accident") will eventually shake things up.
Really enjoying The Inside thus far -- I think it has a lot of potential.

Inside is good, I hope they keep it up.
I missed the second ep of Dead Zone, I'll try to catch it on Friday. I still think they have some steam, but I forgot what happened last season!
