“Wipeout” Not Wiped out!
It’s back this fall!
According to TVNewsday, ABC this week ordered 16 episodes of “Wipeout”, up from this summer’s 11.
The show ranks behind only “America’s Got Talent” and “Hell’s Kitchen” among all summer series.
More impressively, among adults 18-49, “Wipeout” is the highest-rated new summer show on any network in three years.
I got to see “Wipeout” only once and that’s because Hazel and Jimmy were contestants.
And I’ve yet to be able to see “Hell’s Kitchen”, but really want to. What do you watch? What are you looking forward to this fall?

I really look forward to each new episode of Mad Men. Season two just started. If you haven’t seen it, get the season one DVD first. Great show.

The commercials they show for that show make me hurt so I haven’t watched it. I do look forward to episode of “the Closer”……thank you!

“Wipeout”?? Sherri, are these the types of obstacles that you and the rest of newsroom crew have to run through to determine vacation days and whether or not you get a pay raise??

bada bing, that’s just what we have to go through on the way to the makeup room!
The rest of you: I really miss looking forward to a particular show. Since I work week nights, it has to be on the weekends. Once I really find one I like, they change the nights on me. CT, season DVDs are the answer I’ve forgotten. Did that a few years ago with Sex In The City. Had never seen an episode. One weekend, I stayed home and watched 20 episodes.

I watched a whole season of “the Closer” at the beach on a rainy weekend which is how I got addicted to the show.
