What to watch if you're feeling...

...like you miss high school and all the teen angst that went along with it:
Summerland (Monday, 9 pm, WB) or What I Like About You (Friday, 8 pm, WB)
What can I say, the WB really carries the torch for teen angst!!! Summerland is more dramatic, while What I Like About You is sitcom all the way.

...like your life is too complicated:
Lost (Wednesday, 8 pm, ABC), Alias (Wednesday, 9 pm, ABC), or Without A Trace (Thursday, 10 pm, CBS)
Believe me, after watching one of these, you'll feel much better about whatever you've got going on! Lost is about plane crash survivors stranded on a mysterious island (it's not as cheesy as it sounds!); Alias is about spies (it's my favorite!!); Without A Trace is about an FBI team finding missing persons.

...like you want a great story with a little comic relief thrown in:
NCIS (Tuesday, 8 pm, CBS) or Desperate Housewives (Sunday, 9 pm, ABC)
NCIS is about Naval Criminal Investigative Services. It's similar to CSI, but, in my opinion, much better because of the aforementioned comic relief. Desperate Housewives is a campy evening soap opera, but great for when you need a good laugh (watch out, though...it will hook you faster than you realize!).

...like you miss the good ol' days of reality TV:
Survivor (Thursday, 8 pm, CBS)
I'm not a die-hard Survivor fan, but this season has been fantastic! The merging of the two tribes should come tonight since one tribe is now down to one person. Yes, you read right...Ulong lost every single immunity challenge and has systematically voted off everyone except Stephenie. And now...she's my hero!

...like you want something funny, but quirky:
Scrubs (Tuesday, 9 pm, NBC) or The Office (Tuesday, 9:30 pm, NBC)
Some of the best writing on TV is on Scrubs. It's hilarious, but holds firmly to the rules of traditional sitcoms (with more voice over and no laugh track). The Office (the U.S. version) is a lot more "out there." It's very dry, and is heavily influenced by the British humor of the original.
