The Mole will return to ABC this summer with a “simplified” format which makes me happy (The Mole!) and sad (simplified? And no Anderson Cooper?). But rewatching both season 2 (on Fox Reality) and Celebrity Mole season 1 (the one with Kathy Griffin) made me remember how much I enjoyed this show. I hated Ahmad Rashad, so I’m glad he’s not back, and I’m glad they’re not doing another celebrity edition, because if Kathy can’t participate, I’m not interested. But if we’re going to be deluged with reality shows until the strike ends, this isn’t a bad one to watch. It’s certainly a little more intellectually engaging than, say, American Gladiators (which I also watched — I’m not judging or anything, but it’s nice to mix it up).
