Top 3 of the Week: Shows to Watch This Summer

1) Bethany Getting Married
If you have ever watched the Real Housewives of New York City, you know that Bethany could possibly be the funniest reality star on television. So it's only fitting Bravo handed her her own show. Bethany, who will be planning her wedding and the pregnancy of her baby, always says a witty line to make fun of a catfight between the other ladies or any situation she's in. If you're a reality TV junkie, and love to laugh too, you must watch Bethany and ever ounce of airtime she deserves on Bravo.


2) Hard Knocks
I'll admit, not many people will go from suggesting Bethany Getting Married to Hard Knocks, an HBO documentary series that follows the New York Jets in training camp. But even though I might have some New York bias, this show is not just going to be entertaining but interesting too. HBO takes you behind the scenes at a camp that includes: Coach Rex Ryan, who has the largest personality to match the largest gut in the NFL, the sexy quarterback Mark Sanchez in his sophmore season, plus big-name additions like Jason Taylor and LaDanian Tomlinson. Football fans or not, there's plenty going on with a team one game away from the Super Bowl last year to make this show a bonafide hit.


3) Last Comic Standing
I don't think there's any show that has gone through more format changes, hosts and cancellations than Last Comic Standing, yet here it is again on air (thanks to the pitiful programming options NBC has to chose from). But who doesn't like to laugh? So a show whose purpose is to get you to chuckle should be funny. In the past, it was more humorous to see the comedians living together and the on-camera interviews that followed more than their stand-up routine (a la Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D List). But any show that can get you to laugh is a show worth watching in my book!

Heck, if Bethany and Rex Ryan could compete on Last Comic Standing, we'd only have to watch ONE show this summer!
