Dog Eat Dog
9:00 P.M. EST -NBC-
NBC is enjoying a ratings boost thanks to this reality contest that
combines stunts with trivia and trash talk. Six contestants spend
a day together engaging in physical and mental tests. After sizing
up the competition, the players try to pick which person will fail
each new challenge. Eventually, one player ends up facing off against
the five losers in a trivia contest that is the intellectual equivalent
of "Chutes and Ladders." Funny stuff.
Big Brother 3
8:00 P.M. EST -CBS-
First the good: Josh the Lizard King and his wacky facial hair have
been evicted from the house and Sheryl Crow gave the remaining players
a personal concert. Then the bad: Amy the cheese addict returned from
her tropical exile and promptly won Head of Household. Now the ugly:
Amy's new corn row braid hairstyle. Ack! There should be a law against
this.
The
Chris Isaak Show
7:00 P.M. EST -Showtime-
Chris' relationship with an untalented but attractive musician is
threatened when he takes her to the zoo. It seems the chimpanzee his
band has adopted doesn't like her and expresses his enmity in a very
unpleasant way. Tough break, Chris. Meanwhile, Anson starts dating
a woman who studies snakes, which makes her uniquely qualified to
understand his behavior.
The Little
League World Series U.S. Championship
Check Local
Listings -ABC-
It must be tough for 12-year olds to compete in a baseball championship
on national television. Of course, a few of these kids are 6-feet
tall and almost 200 pounds. Hmm. Can we see some I.D.s please?
Meet My Folks:
The Reeves
8:00 P.M.
EST -NBC-
As you watch three young men do farm chores to win over a girl's parents,
reflect upon how the addition of a lie detector test would change
your love life.
More Highway
Hangouts: Fun Along The Road
8:00 P.M.
EST -History-
If it weren't for these roadside family attractions, countless American
vacations would have ended in divorce, estrangement or violent tragedy.
Beavis and
Butt-head Do America
9:00 P.M.
EST -VH1-
There are two types of people in the world: those who think Beavis
and Butt-head marked a cultural nadir for the entire human race, and
those who laugh at the great Cornholio. Heh heh.
Kiss of the
Dragon
8:00 P.M.
EST -HBO-
Jet Li kills people with such ordinary household objects as a pair
of chopsticks, a billiard ball, and a straight pin. He's the Martha
Stewart of death.
Mother Knows
Best
7:00 P.M.
EST -Lifetime-
First Celeste pressures her daughter to get married, which she does.
Then she decides she doesn't like her new son-in-law and hires someone
to kill him. There's no pleasing some people. |
