The 2009 Fall TV Season is under way! Are you excited?
Neither am I.
I took a look at the fall schedule the networks put together, and noticed some shows with somewhat intriguing titles. But the premises of these shows seem either boring or downright stupid. So I've come up with some suggestions for network execs that I think would make things much better.
-----Shark Tank: 7pm Tuesday on ABC.
What it's about: Reality show involving teams in an invention/product development competition.
What it should be: Overexposed celebrities have to face off against a shark in a marine environment, and must complete challenges. (Let's throw a bucket of blood in the water and see what happens.") First guest: Dr. Phil.
-----The Forgotten9pm Tuesday on ABCWhat it's about: A crime show where investigators discover the identity of Jane or John Doe murder victims.
What it should be: Hidden camera show capturing a variety of situations in which items are left on top of people's cars and drive away. It's wild when that milk goes splat on the highway!
-----Three Rivers8pm Sunday on CBSWhat it's about: Another hospital drama/soap opera
What it should be: Sci-fi show in a universe that parallels Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Pronounced "Thrivvers."
-----Modern Family: 8pm Wednesday on ABCWhat it is: Mockumentary style family sitcom starring Ed O'Neill from Married with Children
What it should be: Update on the modern Stone-age family, the Flintstones, who have time traveled to modern day Bedrock. They flip out when they're told they can't use an elephant to wash their dishes. Wilma!!!!!
Madison's summer music festival season kicks off this weekend with Brat Fest at Willow Island, where there are more bands than you can shake a bratwurst at! Check out the Brat Fest website to plan your itinerary.

John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.
He's promoting his new album, "Wrote a Song For Everyone" which comes out next Tuesday...
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.

In 1984, Rockwell rose to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1984 with "Somebody's Watching Me." The backup singer for the song was Michael Jackson. How did Rockwell get Jackson to help him? Well, Rockwell's real name is Kennedy William Gordy and he...
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
