“Project Runway” Thursday 10pm, Lifetime We’re getting down to the nitty-gritty of the current season of everybody’s favorite fashion design competition, and due to its unique circumstances, things are a bit different this time. A lawsuit kept Season 6 off the air for nearly a year, but the three finalists’ collections did show as part […]
“Sherri” Tuesday 10pm, Lifetime I used to have an irrational dislike of Sherri Shepherd. I think it was because I just didn’t understand the decision to cast her on “The View,” especially since she came on at roughly the same time as Whoopi Goldberg, and I felt the two of them kind of cancelled each […]
This hidden-camera prank show returns just in time for America’s month-long obsession with the spooky.
“90210” Tuesday 8pm, CW If you’re one of the legions who tuned in for last season’s premiere, and then promptly tuned out because it sucked, I urge you to give this Spellingvision redux another shot. Now in its second season, lessons have been learned, the cast has been tweaked and the show has become infinitely […]
“Dancing with the Stars” Tuesday-Wednesday 8pm, ABC NEED MORE TV? Read Eric Rezsnyak’s fall television preview! Even juggernauts like “Dancing” need a little shaking up now and then. So look for four new dances in the mix—bolero, lambada, two-step and the Charleston (so topical!)—plus even more couples than usual (16 instead of 13). And what […]
It wasn’t that long ago that TV critics were all but pronouncing the death of the sitcom. Sure, certain comedies succeeded, even flourished, with cheesy laugh tracks and all. (“According to Jim” ran for eight seasons, people. How did we let that happen?) But the genre that once dominated the airwaves had increasingly fewer representatives […]
“Sons of Anarchy” Tuesday 10pm, FX “Anarchy” is loosely based on Hamlet, as it centers around the young second-in-command of a Northern California motorcycle gang who questions his allegiances—and his life—after his father dies and his ruthless new stepfather ascends to the crew’s leadership post. The show stars Brit Charlie Hunnam in the brooding prince […]
“Top Chef” Wednesday 10pm, Bravo After the decidedly less cutthroat “Masters” spin-off, original recipe “Top Chef” is back, and tasting more decadent than ever since it’s based in Las Vegas. Let’s hope the 17 contestants can live up to the foodie paradise, especially after the disappointing New York season. (I still can’t believe Hosea won…) […]
“The Human Family Tree” Sunday 9pm, National Geographic Channel No matter whether you believe in the process of evolution or that God created Adam and Eve, bottom line is we all come from the same place. Scientists generally agree that place is East Africa, “the cradle of humanity.” This special tries to put that theory […]
“Octomom: The Unseen Footage” Wednesday 8pm, Fox Depending on your point of view, Nadya Suleman is either very ambitious, though possibly misguided; over her head and completely out of touch with reality; a terrible human being and mother; or a fame whore whose children should be taken away from her immediately. Suleman became a tabloid […]
