Another reality television show that actually has merit is School Pride. The show is based on an actual restoration on Carver Elementary, a school in Compton, California seven years ago. The schools chosen on this program will receive around two million dollars worth of upgrades and repairs that were sorely needed plus plenty of exposure via the television program. Additionally the student participation helped with School Pride as they were a part of renovations and it is their family, volunteers, and neighbors that help organize the production. The premise is that schools in need of costly repairs can receive help when they showcase how much need there is for improvements and students participate by showing how much pride they have for their school. Somewhat based on the television program "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" the cameras follow students, teachers, and community members performing the renovations badly needed by a particular school. In seven days it's amazing how much can be done and camera crews will return a few months later to see just how much improvement has been made and how it affects the surrounding community.

That may well be the title to a dream sequence by some brilliant but unqualified attorney "want to be's" who can only imagine how they could accomplish what Mike Ross has done. He bluffed his way in by convincing Harvey Specter, one of the finest lawyers in Manhattan to hire him in spite of the fact he has no law degree. Although Ross is brilliant and extremely personable he could not afford the schooling and his choices in friends and recreational drugs did not help his situation. However he can pass the bar without attending any law school simply because he has an eidetic memory. Now clean and dedicated to becoming a first rate attorney, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams from FlashForward, Raising the Bar) must prove himself to the man who put his trust in and hired him, Harvey Specter (played by Gabriel Macht from Love and Other Drugs, Middle Men). Mike Ross must convince the other attorneys he graduated from the Harvard Law school because that's the only place they hire new recruits from. And he is a fast learner who's wit and conviction works well in the court room.

It seems like NBC decided not to give up with paranormal things in 2012. After the cancelation of Awake and realizing that Smash is not going to be a great hit, they decided to launch brand new supernatural-paranormal medical drama with far not first two-word gerund/noun title Saving Hope. But please, don't expect it to be a kind of chimera with mixed DNA of Saving Grace and Rising Hope. Not even close. To describe what Saving Hope is. Let's begin with the "complication" of the plot: two nice people are snuggling inside the wedding cab which is suddenly gets struck by the car. We see as the wedding couple acts absolutely professionally saving the life of the driver by using only medical equipment they have: a pair of common scissors and a tampon. This act of help reveals the newlyweds as the good doctors exactly that they are. The groom is Dr. Charles Harris (Michael Shanks) and the bride is Alex Reid (Erica Durance). However, the situation is getting worse after Alex realizes what a whack in the head Charles got during the accident. Shortly the traumatic brain injury sends Dr. Charles Harris to the hospital bed with the coma diagnosis instead of the honeymoon. As a side effect he receives a supernatural power to walk unseen and unheard between his former colleagues and patients. During his trips he immerses himself deep into the emotions of dying people and doctors trying to save them. He attempts to help both of them using his paranormal gift (which reminds us the CBS' Gifted Man). Charles also trying to get in touch with his ex-fiancee Alex, but all of these attempts fail frightening her almost to death. On the other hand Alex is trying to struggle for saving Charles' life, while he is in coma, but day after the day, she realizes the unfortunate futility of her attempts.

Once upon a time MTV was all about music videos but ever since they began producing their own television series like The Hills they have evolved into a powerhouse in TV entertainment. The Hills is about the lives and ongoing happenings for several young women who reside in Los Angeles, California. Lauren, a young woman striving for her own independence, moves to LA with best friend Heidi and meet up with Audrina. Lauren interns with Teen Vogue, a teen magazine and becomes interested in the fashion industry. When her ex-boyfriend follows Lauren to LA they decide to get back together, which complicates her life. This show has the "reality TV" formula that is popular and gained The Hills some high accolades from the entertainment industry and spawned quite a few copy cat programs. While the young women have their romantic partners each is trying to make it and become successful, especially in the magazine and fashion industries that drew them to LA in the first place. As this is a show based on reality it's sometimes difficult to determine where reality leaves off and drama simply takes over. Still The Hills is fun to watch each week.
