The WB was kind enough to send me review tapes of the new season of "High School Reunion." This time it's the class of '93 from Round Rock, Texas. (Round Rock is just a few miles north of Austin.) Same format as before, about 20 classmates -- not all of them grads from '93 -- are flown to a luxurious resort in Hawaii, where they spend a couple of weeks drinking, fussing and fooling around. In episodes 1 and 2, the spotlight is on pathetic little Denise, a tiny titan of terrible problems who married her high school sweetie, bore two of his children, and then found herself at age 28 dumped, divorced and dispirited. The ex is at the reunion, too, and little Denise hopes to win him back (helped by the producers, who arrange to have these two in romantic settings whenever possible). Complicating Denise's plans are three bimbos from high school days who also, it turns out, were boinking Denise's boyfriend (why can't I remember his name? Dan? Dave?) at the same time he was wooing Denise. They're back to throw their tatas in his face and to remind us all why we hated certain bouncy blondes in high school. Then there's the quiet jock, back to flirt with the girl he left behind. There's the "gossip," the "nerd" (who badly needs a visit from the Fab Five on "Queer Eye"), the professor and Mary Ann. Or whatever. Yeah, I'll watch this show. It's several steps up from "Big Brother," not as great as "Survivor," but it fills the need for new reality programming this month.

Meanwhile, that lying cretin Jon on "Survivor." Feed him to the sharks! Now!
