ALONE
History, 10:03 p.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: NOT a recommendation: In this new reality competition series, ten survival experts are dropped off, individually, to survive in isolation until all but one of them calls the whole thing off. The idea of an extended “social experiment” – or, in this case, an “anti-social” one – sure worked well for Fox’s Utopia, so why not try it again? And for a channel named History, this may be the series in its history that has less to do with the channel’s original mandate than any other… What does Alone have to do with history? Other than that, I suspect, that’s what it soon will be. History.
