TV Junkie: 'Samantha Who?' Series Finale; Fall Out Boy on PBS(?)

set-samantha-who.jpg
Tonight is the series finale of Christina Applegate's "Samantha Who?" with two back-to-back episodes beginning at 8pm on ABC
OK, so we've had the re-launch of "90210" and now the CW is about to pepper us with sultry, "Gossip Girl" style ads hyping the September 8th premiere of the new "Melrose Place". How do you, the residents of LA, feel about the "return" of this show?

well first off... I'm not a resident of LA County... but... ughhh... Melrose Place? Revisited? Is it really necessary?

There's a part of me that thought the original MP was still running. I guess that part of me's an idiot. Thank gawed there's a smart part of me that will have nothing to do with this retread.

Yeah, we're not convinced that a trip back to Melrose is in the best interest of anyone.

Years later and i still measure all new shows on CW by the "they cancelled VERONICA MARS for this???" measure. Melrose = fail.

Meanwhile, TORCHWOOD has been amazing!
