The Thing About Pam

American Song Contest
Based on Eurovision Song Contest, the biggest music competition in the world with a 65-year history and 200 million viewers per year, American Song Contest will feature live performances of original songs representing all 50 states, five U.S. territories and our nation’s capital. Each original song will compete in a LIVE televised event series to win the country’s vote for the Best Original Song.
Starring: Kelly Clarkson, Snoop Dogg
Quick Thoughts: How do I say this? We…as a country…are not fun or bonkers enough to pull this off. Like, I can’t imagine that American Eurovision would allow a weird choreographed saxophone musical number to go back to back with a sad song about children drowning. Or that one lady last year who had a song about how she was in love with Satan.
I hope I’m wrong. I would love it if we did this right. I don’t have a great deal of faith though.

Rat in the Kitchen
The series is a game of high stakes cat and mouse where viewers get to play detective. Over the course of the 10-episode season, a mix of professional chefs and passionate home cooks compete in a series of creative cooking challenges, earning cash in their bank for every dish that impresses Chef Ludo, while attempting to expose an undercover mole (the rat) determined to sabotage the dishes and undermine their chances at victory. At the close of each episode, both cooks and viewers will determine who they believe is the rat. If the cooks guess correctly, they win their bank but if successfully duped, then the rat walks away with the cheddar.
Starring: Natasha Leggero, Ludo Lefebvre
Quick Thoughts: I do like that the Among Us boom during the pandemic has led to some genuinely weird television. And Chef Ludo! I missed your constant screaming from that time they tried to do The Voice but with chefs.

Through exclusive interviews, never-before-seen crime scene video and declassified FBI surveillance audio, the special unravels the hidden tale of how sex, jealousy, arson, hefty-bags filled with cash and mafia shakedowns all led up to one of the most outrageous murders in American history.
