Direct TV 101: New Shows Announced

4:23 pm DirecTV

If you’re lucky enough to be a Direct TV subscriber, you’re probably already familiar with Channel 101. It’s here that Direct TV offers up some pretty cool original programming — stuff you can ONLY find on Direct TV and nowhere else.

The other day the company announced a few new shows that will be coming to 101. These will debut early next year. Here’s what they are:

* The Supreme Court of Comedy: Sounds to me like this is basically a comedy version of Judge Judy. Small claims courts in California get the treatment from Dom Irrera as the judge, and “counselors” who are also going to be comedians. Sounds interesting.

* Rock & a Hard Place: A game show hosted by Meatloaf that will feature recording artists competing against one another for charity.

* DirecTV Hometown Heroes: Basically a feel-good show that will showcase the good deeds of Direct TV subscribers across the country.

If you haven’t checked out Direct TV 101 yet, you really should. It has some pretty entertaining and cutting edge stuff up there. Let everyone know what you think by leaving your comments below.
