TV Next Week: New show: "Renovate My Country"

The TV is mostly background noise to Grandmother but at times there may be a show actually worth attention.


What is a Swan and Why are They Making a TV Show About it? And the BEST show on the Food Network.


Reminder, ELECTION NIGHT-Tuesday Nov. 2-Pay Attention-on all networks.


On Monday, Nov. 1, 2004, at 9 pm, ABC will feature Monday Night Football: Miami Dolphins VS. New York Jets.


On that same night, Fox will show The Swan at 9 pm. What is a Swan? At least in terms of this interesting show?


Well, it’s based on the story of the ugly duckling that wanted to be beautiful and turned into a swan. Although, snort, there is no such thing as an ugly duckling. Why ducklings are the cutest things in the world!


Only in this show a real human being who perceives herself to be ugly is transformed, via plastic surgery, liposuction, hair transplants, whatever it takes, into a beautiful woman.


It’s almost sad as most of these women are not ugly. They just THINK they are ugly. Who knows what happens to their misguided psyche after all this stuff.


On Wednesday, November 3, at 10 pm, The Food Network will be showing the best show on their roster.


Says this would-be cook lady because Alton Brown in “Good Eats” does the best job of showing this mesmerized lady just how to do everything from getting the flour in the mixer to measuring butter without smearing up the cup.


Brown always cooks up a nicely finished entrée but along the way to the finished product he entertains us with his goofiness and teaches us as much about the physics of cooking as the ingredients.


On Friday, November 5, at 9 pm, Foxis featuring a show that’s a bit of a hoot titled “Renovate My Family”. The chortle in this show is than an entire family gets made over: their house, each member’s attire and appearance, and, get this-all the problems that assail them each and every day…all, yup, completely made over.


Next season some enterprising network is going to come up with the idea of a makeover show, let’s call it “Renovate My Country”. Citizens nominate their country for a makeover and boom, if accepted entire armies, diplomats, work forces and management teams descend upon a country and fix it all up.


Imagine the possibilities! Iran, Korea, Iraq, Africa!


God Bless America.


True Crime Buffs, on Saturday, Nov. 6, at 10 pm, NBS will feature an excellent true crime research during its “46 Hours” program. A woman shoots her husband. She says it was self-defense; the prosecutors call it murder.


Finally, on Saturday, Nov. 6, at 9 pm, NBCis showing one of their ubiquitous “Most Outrageous Game Show Moments” shows. Says this is #4 so who knows, it might be new.


The beauty of this show is how stupid people can really be if left to their own devices.
