| Here are some shows to look out for
as the broadcast and cable networks, along with various
online purveyors, roll out their new offerings. |
| “Celebrity Cinnamon Challenge” (Fox):
Not as easy as it looks. The competitors include: La Toya Jackson,
George Takei, Amanda Bynes, Charles Barkley and Mika Brzezinski. |
| “Show Swap” (ABC/NBC):
Casts of “Modern Family” and “Community”
switch roles and perform each others' scripts. Details were still being
ironed out by the various talent guilds as we went to press. |
| “Three is Enough” (CBS):
Cheech Marin stars as an eccentric loner living in a ramshackle
house in Cleveland with three women who never seem to leave the
basement. Based on the British series, “Left for Dead.” |
| “Secret Court” (C-SPAN):
C-SPAN's first venture into daily series, this one takes us behind
the scenes at the clandestine court established under the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act. It too is based on a British series, “Rubber

| “Celebrity Cinnamon Challenge” (BitTorrent):
