Spring Break
Top Ten Best new Shows on TV

6. Wipe Out
This is America's version of the Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, and if any of you have seen that you know that it's absolutely hilarious! This show takes everyday people and allows them to compete for money in crazy challenges like the knock out wall (that you have to get by without getting punched in the face by boxing gloves that shoot out randomly), and my favorite, the big balls (where you have to make your way over big red balls - might sound easy, it's so not)!
7. Stylista
Okay, I didn't like "The Devil Wears Prada" because I don't think the fashion industry is about kissing ass and trying to be like everyone else; and that movie is what this show is based on. But if you can get past all the rude and judgmental people, you'll find this show is pretty entertaining, especially for someone like myself who loves fashion. The challenges are pretty cool and include finding topics to write about for Elle magazine, laying out the magazine pages and, of course, the unnecessary demoralizing BS they put the contestants through to produce an entertaining show like planning a birthday party for a bratty 7-year-old.
8. Storm Chasers
This show on Discovery Channel is actually in its second season, but still pretty new. It's more of a documentary where you follow two groups of real life storm chases as they try to collect data from Tornado Alley. One of them is a filmmaker whose goal is to actually get footage for an IMAX film he's making of being inside a tornado. It's pretty crazy because these chasers have almost no fear, especially Reed who lives for tornados.
9. America's Greatest Dog
This show is cool because not only does it have adorable dogs in it and the element of a bunch of strangers living in a house together, but it also gives a lot of helpful advice on how to properly care for, love and train your own dog at home. It's nice to have a show like this highlighting what a joy dogs can be in your life, hopefully it's motivated more people to go out a rescue a dog for themselves.
10. Private Practice
I know this show isn't brand new, but it's still worth mentioning. Addison, the redheaded bombshell from "Grey's Anatomy," relocates to Santa Monica where she works with her old friend Naomi at, you guessed it, a private practice doctors' office. At first, I was hesitant because I didn't think anything could compare to "Grey's Anatomy," and this isn't nearly that good, but it's still really fun to watch.

Ok maybe I watch too much tv but I have another one; Summer Heights High on HBO is hilarious! Also I can't wait to check out 'The United States of Tara' on Showtime, it's created by Steven Spielberg and written by Diablo Cody who wrote Juno, so I'm thinking it should be good :)
