Must See HDTV (June 4th - 10th)
Franklin & Bash
We're not sure who decided putting Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer a legal comedy / drama was a good idea but we're kinda glad they did. Jared Franklin & Peter Bash bring a lighter take to what are usually very serious procedurals, a good match for our laid back summer viewing schedule. Season two kicks off this week and if you haven't seen it, just assuming their characters from Saved By the Bell and Road Trip grew up to be lawyers pretty much covers it.
(June 5th, TNT, 10PM)
Playoffs
As the NBA conference playoff battles continue on, the New Jersey Devils will have to find a way to fight back this week against the LA Kings. They're down 2-0, but as the Thunder and Celtics have shown, that can quickly be turned on its head. The only bad news? The next two games are at LA. Ouch.
E3
Well, at least while the Devils are in LA they can stop by E3 and check out some new videogames. While we're covering all the action here, and video has spread to multiple platforms, if you prefer leaning back and observing all the HD trailers on your TV, Spike TV and G4 are both blowing out their coverage all week with feeds from the show floor during the day and in prime time.
