...viewing calendar and start anew. Maybe a favorite show's been canceled; maybe the midseason replacements weren't what you hoped for; maybe you've fallen out of love with a fall fling. Whatever the reason, here are six current dramas worth transplanting into your weekly rotation before rerun season starts...
...tame an out-of-control pop culture in which drunk Real World housemates have three-ways in hot tubs and shock jocks broadcast live sex acts on air. To broadcasters--and many viewers--it's the censorial hysteria that's out of control, as when Fox, in a rerun of Family Guy, chose to remove the bare bottom of the character Stewie, who is 1) a baby and 2) a cartoon.

That evening Yushchenko was to address his supporters on "the Maidan," or Maidan Nezalezhnosti, Kiev's Independence Square: the symbol of the civil disobedience campaign that erupted in November after Yanukovych "won" a vote marred by massive fraud and led to the Dec. 26 rerun. Yushchenko intended to call on the hundreds still camping on the Maidan to fold up their tents, and invite them back to the square on New Year's Eve to celebrate the orange revolution's victory.
