I'm back and my vacation and ready to get back into routine. I'm a little rusty because there are a ton of low rated shows on this list.

Who takes a vacation after a holiday? I do.

No, seriously. I do need a break. Those of you who stuck with me through my Bourgy days know that I've been trying to pursue a career as a self-published author. I've been hard at work with that (I just published a new short story a couple of weeks ago, but my full catalog of 13 books is here). Buy a book...or two...or three. It won't break your budget and you've probably wasted a dollar on worse things.

On top of that, you all know I've mentioned having issues with trying to come up with 10 shows to talk about every week since the broadcast season ended. So, I've decided to just give myself a vacation and take the rest of the month off from posting the 10 ratings blurbs list. I'll keep the VH1 2016 list updated and I'll be ready to go again in August.

This was an active week with several premieres to inject some life into this post.

If I wasn't busy with other things, I would be bothered by how short this list is getting.

It was a struggle to find 10 shows to put on this list this week.

This is the week where you start to notice that it will be a long way to September.

The holiday delayed nothing except for the fact that a lot of these networks gambled and lost on Monday night.
