Last season we say the Ice Road Truckers at Yellowknife in Canada. This season all the rules have changed. Some of your favorite truckers from season one are back along with new ones. This time the Ice road is the Arctic Ocean. The truckers are hauling equipment, and supplies to gas exploration sites. Temperatures can be as low as 60 below here. The difference on this road is drivers have to drive faster, and carry heaver loads. Last season’s favorite Hue Rowland (aka Polar bear) is back, and he hasn’t seen this road in 20 years. Driving on any ice road in any condition are treacherous to any driver even experienced. What these truckers do besides the money they can make is such a great endurance. To do what they do with the risk is beyond me as to why they do it, but that makes you want to watch it even more. Yellowknife is nothing compared to this road that they will have to endure. Inuvik is the gateway to the toughest ice road these truckers will see. The Goodbyes are always hard for the family’s of these drivers. Its so hard to let your loved one go when you know how dangerous the journey will be. The veterans from Yellowknife are now the rookies on this road. The second season will blow you away more than a white out condition on an ice road. The second season will air on the History Channel on June 8th at 9pm/8c. If you haven’t seen this show before go out and buy season 1 on DVD in stores now.

This list only contains shows I’ve been waiting for to come back. On June 3rd FX’s “30 Days” returns for its 3rd season. I was very disappointed that the second season only had six episodes so lets hope for more this season. On June 5th a new show is coming to NBC called “Fear Itself”. This show is about A horror/suspense anthology series. Very similar to “Masters of Horror”. Fear Itself brings some of the genre’s most respected writers, and directors to the small screen. On June 16th The 4th season of Showtime’s “Weeds” comes back again. There will be a new guest start this season as well. Julie Bowen (Lost, Boston Legal, Ed) is set to play as a cradle-robbing single mom who “befriends” Nancy’s nubile son, Silas. I can’t wait for this show to start again. Sci-Fi’s “Stargate Atlantis returns for it’s 5th season on July 11th. I don’t think this show ever gets old, and hopefully will continue to be on for many many many years to come. Also coming back this summer to the Sci-Fi channel is the third season of “Eureka”. If you haven’t seen this show go out, and buy the first two seasons on DVD it will keep you entertained. That’s it for now, and look forward to a future post about New/Returning shows for Winter. Remember depending on where you live summer is short, and Winter is long. So their better be some great new shows to keep me entertained like FOX’s “Fringe” (One on Fringe on a future post.)

It’s sad to announce that Showtime’s “Californication” Star Natascha McElhone’s Husband has passed away. I wish the best for the family, and friends of Dr. Martin Hirigoyen Kelly. I’ve never told anyone, but I work for Alma Lasers, Inc, and I’ve talked to Dr.’s & Nurses so this affects me on another level. It’s always sad to see a Doctor pass away. In my experience Doctors are great, Friendly, Considerate people that understand your issue. Doctors commit to a life of helping people with any problem you have. They are the best people to work with, and are the best personalities that anyone could hope for in a friend. The Beloved Doctor was also a Co-Founder of a charity to treat children from third world countires with serious facial deformity. Every month our company ” Alma Lasers, Inc” Donates to a Charity. I will Definitlly suggest his charity in honor of a great Person.

Within two minutes you sense the humor in this show, but the seriousness overplays that which is great. From first glance you see being a U.S Marshal ain’t all it’s crapped up to be. The drama that goes on makes for a great series. There is so much going on that you feel what is going on, but in this show it’s a plus. Watching the pilot episode you want to know what’s going on, and you want answers. It seems that there is a story in a story that you have to keep focus on to figure it out. The comedy is second to what the show is all about. The star of the show Mary McCormack (Private Parts, and The West Wing) has a dysfunctional family which makes for great humor. Mary’s character “Mary Shannon” is such a treat to watch what she goes through. The rest of the cast makes this drama worth finding one hour out of your day each week to watch. You really understand how hard it is to protect another person’s life. It is Mary’s job to do that with all that she has going on in her life. In my opinion this show is worth tuning into. I suggest everyone please tune in on June 1st to USA 10/9C. Watch for more posts to come about this show.

As some of you may or may not know Fox announced on Thursday May 15th that they plan to air the “24 Prequel” on Sunday November 23rd. The prequel takes place just a few months before the events that happens in the new season. Jack Bouer will be in South Africa handling an International Crisis. Just imagine the damage he can do to terrorists in other parts of the world. I’ve been looking forward to this since the anouncement just after the writers strike. On that note the writers strike hit only eight episodes into the new season. If everything goes ok we should expect to see the new season air in Jan. 2009.

Congratulations to the “CW’s” “Reaper”. This on again off again series has struck a deal for a second season. After the writers strike which most of us thought would help actually hurt new shows we fell in love with. It’s so hard now a days to grow, and fall in love with a show knowing if you get attached, you will be pissed when it’s axed. Fox’s “New Amsterdam” has met that fate. No shock to any fan of FOX’s shows. I think it’s in our blood to love what’s offered, than to hate the outcome. I’m still hoping for CBS to Renew “Moonlight”. Again we all can hope for something. In my opinion shows grow more after the first season. You can spend less money on advertising, and pray for rating’s than when it fails blame the potential viewers. Who’s at fault when no one knows whats out there. Money, money, money, as if that is the problem. I tell you what spend the money, and you will see results. How can networks ignore the fan base. it is beyond me. In this day, and age with all the hustle, and bussle people can’t tune in. They have Tivo, DVR’s, Illegal Downloading which gets more downloads than ratings. What is the mistake in the industry? How do shows fail when they are more popular on the Internet? How can shows fail when DVD sales excel expectations. Let me run a network for a day, and I’ll correct everything.
