Midseason Review – Mondays

We continue our annual look back at my thoughts from the beginning of the season and look ahead at what’s to come for Monday nights, which looked a little barren in the fall, leaving me with nothing to watch.

7:00

Scrabble – Another attempt to turn the venerable board game into a game show, this time starring Raven-Symoné.

A good enough interpretation of the board game to a show, completely different from the 80s version with Chuck Woolery.  I’m not sure if it ever ended up airing on Monday nights, though, as it and Trivial Pursuit have been airing on Thursdays.

7:30

Poppa’s House – Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. team up on a new family comedy.

I never ended up watching this.

8:00

Rescue: HI-Surf – A lifeguard drama set in Hawaii from one of the producers of ER and starring Arielle Kebbel seems worth a shot, at least.

A decent way to spend an hour, especially with the nice views of Hawaii.

Trivial Pursuit – A new game show, hosted by LeVar Burton, based on the classic board game.

Another good translation of a board game to television.

It doesn’t look like there is anything intriguing coming to Mondays this winter.
