While many are on cable channels or pay-movie<br \/>\nservices like Home Box Office or Showtime, there are a few underappreciated<br \/>\nand overlooked gems on the broadcast channels.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, some of these shows are in repeat mode. But what does that matter if<br \/>\nyou&#8217;ve never seen them? So take a break from Millionaire and forget about<br \/>\nthose rats on Survivor and sample what else is available.<\/p>\n<p>To get you started, here&#8217;s one critic&#8217;s menu for a week of prime-time summer<br \/>\nviewing.<\/p>\n<p>ROSWELL, 9 pm, WBZL-WB 39<br \/>\nAlthough this show is about teenage aliens and it&#8217;s on a network geared to<br \/>\nyoung audiences, it&#8217;s a drama with broad appeal. Young cast members Shiri<br \/>\nAppleby (Liz Parker), Jason Behr (Max Evans) and ex-Miami Beach resident<br \/>\nMajandra Delfino (Maria DeLuca) are fabulous.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Denise for sending this in!
