Thanks to Kathryn C for sending this in!
The following was found in the issue of TVtimes
for the week of July 7 to July 14, 2000. The article
was entitled: The Ones That Got Away:Hold
On! Not all summer reruns have to be nose-pinching
exercises.
Excerpt from Article:
There is no doubt about it. Summer is rerun season.
Always has been, always will be. However, that
doesn't mean you should spend all of your evenings
outdoors with all the mosquitoes and humidity and
rabid bats. Just think, you can stay cool inside and
watch stuff that you didn't see during the regular TV
season.
So put that old Frisbee away, stick that sunscreen
back into your medicine cabinet and enjoy your summer
in front of the tube - where you belong.
Or, at the very least, take a portable TV with you.
After all, you can always throw it at those rabid
bats.
Here are some recommendation for playing catch-up
this summer:
Roswell (Mondays; The WB):
We'll call this Beyond Lawyers In Miniskirts. Sure,
you could catch up on those Ally Mcbeal
episodes you missed. But once you knew Billy buys the
farm, why bother? Better to check out the drama on
Roswell, which you almost certainly didn't
watch during the season. It's about teen aliens, yes,
but it is also a well-acted, entertaining hybrid of
high-school angst and X-Files dread.
{The article goes on to mention other shows such as
Dharma & Greg, Will & Grace, South Park, Frasier,
Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Nash Bridges, Beggars and
Choosers, V.I.P., and King of the Hill. Not all
of the shows were chosen as reruns to watch for as
favorable reasons as Roswell. Plus, in this Canadian
televisions it's ironic to mention Roswell, because
with CTV now deciding to show Popular instead of
Roswell, we have absolutely no way of seeing the show,
short of buying a sattelite dish}
