August is here, and fall will be following closely behind, which can only mean one thing: the new fall television line-up is about to begin. Despite the fact that several of the shows about to air are so disgustingly lame that they make me feel nauseous, I still have to admit, I’m pretty excited about the possibilities that accompany all the new shows.

One of the shows getting a lot of buzz this season is the new ABC comedy “Cavemen.” This show is interesting because the cavemen started out as an advertising idea for Geico Insurance. At first I thought the idea of taking characters from an advertisement and giving them their own show was pretty pathetic, but I guess you never know. It worked for the California Raisins, right?

CBS seems to be hoping to bring back the glory of evening game shows, with their new series “Power of 10,” hosted by Drew Carey. In the last couple of seasons, we’ve been inundated with shows like “Deal or No Deal,” “Smarter than a Fifth Grader” and a million others. But, if nothing else it will give Drew Carey something to do, just like it did for Howie Mandell and that redneck guy. I’ve heard there’s even a show hosted by one of the not so attractive members of one of those boy-bands. First Regis now this; I guess they really are getting desperate.
