5 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, August 1, 2014 By Jacqueline Spend- love TV Media A little bit country: We're right in the thick of festival season. It's a wonderful time of year, but few people have the energy, the funds or the pre- cious vacation time to make it to each and every one of the fantastic music festivals out there. The CMA Music Festival took place in Nashville back in June, but country lovers who couldn't make it: fear not. "CMA Music Festival: Coun- try's Night to Rock" is a three- hour special taped over the four days of the festival, airing Tuesday, Aug. 5, on ABC. Now viewers can catch all the high- lights of the festival, plus some behind-the-scenes foot- age, without standing in a sea of sweaty cowboy hats. CMA Vocal Group of the Year Little Big Town returns to host the television event cele- brating today's biggest names in country music. It's the band's second consecutive year in the role, but the four- some has been on the music scene for more than 14 years. So, if you weren't one of the 71,000 rabid fans that made it to Nashville for the CMA Mu- sic Festival, you've still got three solid hours of its choicest cuts com- ing your way. Be sure to check out "CMA Music Festival: Coun- try's Night to Rock" Tuesday, Aug. 5, on ABC. Lest ye be judged: Prime time is about to get a little more disorderly. There's always a big laugh potential when you stick an ill-behaved individual into a prestigious position. "Law & Order" and its multiple off- spring are all well and good, but NBC's picked up a comedy that promises to give a very different look at the person on the bench. "Bad Judge" is ex- pected to premiere Thursday, Oct. 2, on the peacock net- work. Rebecca Wright is a well-re- garded L.A. criminal court judge known for her uncon- ventional courtroom behavior and tough-as-nails attitude. Off the bench, however, she's a bit of a train wreck. OK, a big train wreck. The unapologetic, uncompromising Rebecca parties hard, drums in a band and wakes up with her fair share of hangovers. So far, she's seen no reason to tone down her wild life, but that may change when an eight-year-old boy comes into her life needing her help. Rob- by Shoemaker (Theodore Barnes, "Back in the Game") has had his parents slapped behind bars, and by none oth- er than Rebecca herself. Sud- denly she finds herself with a respon- sibili- ty that goes beyond her time on the bench, and it may just be that Robby is the key to bring- ing some responsi- bility to the judge's personal life. The humor po- tential is huge, so here's hoping that "Bad Judge" makes for good TV. Look for the comedy scheduled to premiere Thursday, Oct. 2, on NBC.

And if you don't remember it, then trust me — you did. That's right, Friday was the Fourth of July! Or as dogs call it, "Armageddon:" "What the hell is happening right now?! How is this fun?" I also wanna say congrats to Joey Chestnut! On Friday, he won the big Fourth of July Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest by eating 61 hotdogs in 10 minutes. Another guy was like, "But I ate a hundred!" Then the judges said, "You have to wait till we say 'Go!,' Gov. Christie." The Late Show: David Letterman At Coney Island, they had the annual Hot Dog Eating Contest, and that guy who wins every year won again. I thought maybe the Kenyan would win this year, but he didn't. Here's something to think about when you're a little low and concerned about world events. This guy Joey Chestnut ate 61 hotdogs in 12 minutes. Ladies and gentlemen, America is still getting it done! That's 61 hotdogs in 12 minutes, or as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie calls it — a snack. late laughs Eastern Travel 3 x 5 Dierks Bentley will perform at this year's "CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock"
