BURIED TREASURE Starring Leigh and Leslie Keno The final new summer show to premiere in a long, boring summer for network TV is FOX's Buried Treasure . I'll be honest that I was only half watching this show as I am so tired of reviewing unscripted summer fare (in fact, I may not even review summer shows next summer). Don't worry, I will have much better and detailed fall reviews! Anyway, on to the review. This show is a network attempt to capitalize on the antique pawn shop shows that are popular on cable, particularly the History Channel. It is harmless enough and somewhat interesting. The Keno brothers go around to houses where people feel they might have something of value. Of course they have a story to tell ala any inspirational reality show and then by the end, they find out if any of their items are worth something. The reveal of course cues the tears or the disappointment that comes with finding out if they will strike it rich. It is what is is... a ...

IN THE FLOW WITH AFFION CROCKETT Starring: Affion Crockett FOX's new sketch comedy from Jamie Foxx In the Flow with Affion Crockett is a complete mess. When shows get benched from a June launch date to an August launch date, it's not usually a good sign. With this show, it's easy to see why it couldn't even make the first summer cut. Basically every skit felt like a bad week on Saturday Night Live . From the beginning, it's clear that Affion Crockett was trying too hard and it went downhill from there. The Jay-Z impression was weak and bad, the Tiger Woods skit was juvenile and bad, the "Wake Up Call" sketch was bordering on the offensive and bad, and the Gospel singer skit was mind numbingly unfunny and bad. To make matters worse, the "audience" was hooting and hollering at very unfunny punchlines while Affion Crockett continued to annoy in the studio scenes in-between the sketches. Summer TV isn't supposed to be very good bu...

KARAOKE BATTLE USA Hosted by Joey Fatone Judges: Joe Levy, Carnie Wilson, Brian Scott Karaoke Battle USA is a new singing competition show on ABC banished to Fridays in the summer and it's not hard to see why. Everything about this show was over the top. With the dramatic introduction, pauses, etc - it's easy to forget that this for a KARAOKE competition. They want to be like American Idol (the theme and introduction graphics seemed like a carbon copy) but it's hard to take it seriously. Host Joey Fatone is about what you would expect him to be while the judges were over the top in theatrics even though Carnie Wilson had her moments. Previous karaoke winner Brian Scott couldn't stop mentioning his championship and experience while Joe Levy acted as if this was the most important competition in the world. There was a part of me that almost felt sad for the contestants. Here we are in a poor man's version of American Idol and yet they are acting like th...

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS Starring: Ryan Hansen, Dannell Ackles, Zach Cregger, Andre Holland, Jessica Lucas Created by Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber Written by Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber, Directed by David Dobkin Friends With Benefits is a sitcom that is being burned off on NBC this summer. Originally intended to be a part of the 2010-2011 lineup, it never quite made it to the air until now (you'd think NBC would have been able to find a place for it considering all the sitcom bombs they aired this season). As the title implies, it focuses on two friends (Ben and Sara) who are best friends that are unlucky in love and in the meantime, they sleep with each other. As is necessary in a romantic comedy of today's day and age, they are rounded out by a quirky class of young urban friends. In the pilot, both Ben and Sara experience another bad date while two other friends hook up. This show is not anything new. In fact, in a season that saw Happy E...

TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN ABC's new game show Take the Money and Run has one major thing going for it. There is nothing else like it on television - a blending of a game show and a crime procedural. In this very unique premise, two people are given one hour to stash $100,000 somewhere where they hope it can't be found. Then they are "arrested" by real cops and the detectives/interrogators are given 48 hours to find the money. If they are unsuccessful, the two contestants get to walk away with the cash. I really did love this premise going in but I don't feel like it lived up to it. It actually got a bit dry. Knowing that the whole thing was a game show made the interrogation scenes much less interesting than in a crime procedural (and the female interrogator seemed very aware she was on television). I wish more time had been spent on the hiding and actual searching for the money. The best part was that it wasn't easy to tell if the money would be fou...
