Tuesday’s lighter shade of reruns — Daily Rerun Roundup

As the summer turns a hot and humid corner into the homestretch, one would think that the primetime schedule would be full of reruns. Yet, there are actually more original series on the Big Four-and-a-Half Networks than repeats. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing.

• The Tuesday night schedule for CBS begins, naturally, with a rerun of NCIS that has the team’s new director looking for a killer of his friend. Then, after Big Brother 5,235, the Eye Network airs another episode of Medium. This time around, Allison thinks that a ghost may be a witness to several killings.
• At 8:00 pm on NBC is the blessedly last audition episode of America’s Got Talent. Well, only half of the show is auditions. The other half is a “Supery-Dupery Exclusive’ interview with Susan Boyle of Britain’s Got Talent. That’s followed by a new episode of AGT, then an encore of Law & Order:SVU where Detective Stabler beats the snot out of a pedophile.
• Over on the Half Network, otherwise known as The CW, the kids from 90210 turn a innocent sleepover into a drunken house party. Hey, didn’t Brandon and Brenda have a drunken house party in the first season of Beverly Hills, 90210?
• If none of this interests you, and perhaps you want to stimulate your brain synapses, then you can tune to your local PBS station at 8:00 pm for Nova. This week features a look at the Cold War-era plans of both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. to militarize space. Damn, if they had done that we probably could’ve had flying cars by know! By the way, the title of the episode is ‘AstroSpies’. That’s cool!
