3 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, May 1, 2020 By Kyla Brewer TV Media Campy TV: Sleepaway camp is a rite of passage for millions of young people, but few adults get to experience that sort of free-spirited fun — until now. Summer plans may be up in the air for most of us right now, but lucky TV viewers will soon be able to live vicariously through camp counselors at an adult summer camp in Con- necticut. Grown-ups escape the pres- sures and stressors of everyday life to travel to an idyllic setting in the Berkshire Mountains of Kent in the premiere of "Camp Getaway," airing Monday, May 4, on Bravo. Cameras follow the staff of Camp Getaway as they work to cater to their guests' wants and needs, all while navigating the ups and downs of working together all season long. Viewers will get to know camp owner and director Da- vid Schrieber, the fearless lead- er of the crew. He translated his passion for the outdoors into an adult camp experience like no other. He leaves the day-to- day business of the camp up to executive camp director Claire Sorrels, whose tough-love tac- tics with the staff have earned her a reputation as the resident "Mama Bear." Thrill seeker Adam Mizrahi and straight-shooting psychol- ogist Monica O'Neal are senior social coordinators around camp. Their colleagues include fellow social coordinators, such as accountant Gavin Stewart, one-time performer Glen North, former beauty queen Neely Fortune, real estate bro- ker Nile Lundgren, educator Randall Klein and business- woman Sophia D'Angelo. Surely, given the state of the world right now, many people can appreciate the appeal of letting loose in the great out- doors with nary a care in the world. The 300-acre weekend sleepaway camp features tra- ditional camp activities, such as archery, campfires and kick- ball. However, this camp also features plenty of adult bever- ages, parties and other perks. No average housewife: Re- ality TV shows have the power to introduce viewers to people they may never encounter in real life, and viewers are about to meet a new "friend." One of the genre's most iconic fran- chises returns with a new face and a whole lot of new drama. Modern-day Renaissance woman Wendy Osefo joins the cast of "The Real Housewives of Potomac" in the Season 5 premiere, airing Sunday, May 3, on Bravo. A professor, political analyst and entrepreneur, Ni- gerian-born Osefo brings her strong personality into the Po- tomac fold as she juggles her busy professional life with her family life as a wife and mother of three. Osefo will be joining return- ing "Housewives" Gizelle Bry- ant, Karen Huger, Ashley Darby, Robyn Dixon, Monique Samu- els and Candiace Dillard Bas- sett. Each of the women is fac- ing her own personal struggles this season, and luckily they'll have each other to lean on. That is, when they aren't facing off against each other. Dillard Bassett continues to clash with Samuels while also dealing with unresolved issues with Darby. All the while, she celebrates her first year of mar- riage to Chris and considers having a baby. Meanwhile, Samuels attempts to juggle the needs of her children with those of the family's new feathered friend. Elsewhere, Darby basks in the glow of life with her baby, Dean, but news of Michael's wild night on the town rocks her world. When love blossoms once again between Bryant and her ex-husband, Pastor Jamal Bry- ant, her daughters aren't so sure about how they feel about the situation. Romance is also rocky for Huger and her hus- band, Ray, after she discovers that his feelings for her may have changed. Elsewhere, Dix- on and her beau, Juan, have lived together with their two sons for six years and she's anxious to make things official. Whether they're clashing with their significant others or each other, there's never a dull moment for these women. Don't miss the drama, tune in to the Season 5 premiere of "The Real Housewives of Po- tomac," airing Sunday, May 3, on Bravo. Medical drama: These days, there's no doubt that health- care workers deserve our re- spect and admiration. For those who want a sneak peek into the private lives of doctors and their spouses, a reality show that shines a spotlight on medical professionals in L.A. is about to return for Season 2. Filmmakers document the ups and downs of female doc- tors and the wives of doctors in "Married to Medicine: Los An- geles," airing Sunday, May 3, on Bravo. The series offers viewers a window into what their lives were like a few months ago, before a global pandemic changed things for everyone. As in Season 1, the core cast includes psychiatrist Dr. Imani Walker, who takes on the role of single mom while her hus- band is away on business. An- esthesiologist Dr. Britten Cole has moved across the country to take a full-time job in Los Angeles, but the move has tak- en its toll on her romantic life. Real estate property manager Shanique Drummond, wife of Dr. Robert Drummond, is torn between her family life and her desire to switch to a career in luxury real estate. At the same time, Jazmin Johnson is deter- mined to prove that she's more than simply a "doctor's wife." This season, the women welcome two new cast mem- bers. Dr. Cole's friend, Dr. Kend- ra Segura, is an OB-GYN and new mom who works one day per week but is eager to return to a full-time medical practice. Successful entrepreneur Lia Dias, who's married to one of Dr. Walker's colleagues, also joins in the fun this season.

We all know that one couple that is "couple goals." They finish each other's sentences, they make each other laugh — they're just adorable, and everyone always asks them, "How do you make it work?" But do you know what everyone is actually wondering? Do they fart in front of each other yet? The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon A Navy hospital ship has arrived in New York, 'cause if there's one thing we've learned from the crisis, it's that you definitely want to be on a giant ship. The Empire State Building was lit up in red and white flashing lights to honor health-care workers. Everyone was confused by the red and white flashing lights. At first, New Yorkers thought it meant that Target finally got a shipment of toilet paper! This year, you can order Girl Scout cookies online. And, to give you the real experience, after you buy two boxes, a Girl Scout pops up on screen and guilts you into buying two more.

Bong Joon Ho's "Parasite" became the first foreign language film ever to win Best Picture, unless you count 2018's "The Shape of Water," which was filmed in the universal language of fish sex. I'm glad to hear [the audience] all sound healthy and happy, because the big story continues to be the looming threat of the coronavirus.
