MONDAY (5/10)
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8pm): “The friends crash an upscale party attended by prominent intellectuals, and Ted tries to show off his brainier side.” His theory on the success of “The Naked Man” strategy proved to be an effective ice breaker.

- The Closer (TNT, 9pm): “Brenda reopens a murder case when it’s surmised that a father may have offered a false confession to cover for his schizophrenic son.

- Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 9pm): “Jon stays home to oversee kitchen renovations while Kate and the kids head to the beach as the series returns with its first all-new episode after a five-week hiatus spurred by a marital breakup.” The show will be followed by a new series: Jon Plus His 8 Dates.
- Making His Band (MTV, 10pm): “The finalists move into their new pad and tensions arise between the trained musicians and those who were self-taught.” There are some who are born talented, there are some who are taught. Then there are those who buy record companies and call themselves singers.
- Weeds (Showtime, 10pm): “Coworkers Celia and Dean develop a new marketing scheme after discovering they have a surplus of product.” Who knew one had to create a need for weed?

VIDEO: Joan Rivers Can’t Take a Joke
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Gossip, Video,
Joan Rivers has often remained good-natured about her own love affair with plastic surgery, giving and receiving jokes with good grace as part of her colorful career. But don’t crack a funny on the subject of Joan’s daughter Melissa Rivers - sparks (and swearing) will ensue.
Rivers abruptly ended an interview and dropped TV’s biggest no-no live on the air when an anchor tried to joke with the celebrity who’s usually so great with one-liners. Watch the video - and your ears - if you want to see Joan melt down.

Will Celebrities Shine in Trump’s World?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Apprentice, The - Donald, Gossip, Renewals,
Poker players. TV personalities. Recording artists. Athletes. What do they all have in common? They all want to learn from Donald Trump. Or, they at least want to give that appearance while they collect a paycheck from NBC.
Reality TV has now become much more a medium for quasi- and has-been celebs, rather than an unscripted jaunt where ordinary folks get their chance to shine. But what the hell? Donald Trump is always fun, so why not another season of The Celebrity Apprentice? At this point, NBC’s willing to try anything.
So who makes up the star-studded cast? Mother-daughter team Joan and Melissa Rivers will join Tionne Watkins (T-Boz of TLC), Brande Roderick (Baywatch), reality TV vet Khloe Kardashian, Annie Duke (reigning poker queen), Natalie Gulbis (pro golfer) and Claudia Jordan (Deal or No Deal winner) to make up the female team.

Celebrity Feuds Win for NBC
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Games, Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Editorial,
The first ever spin-off of Family Feud, a game show which itself was originally a spin-off, premiered last night on NBC. Very few changes to the standard show format, along with celebrities and much larger cash prizes helped NBC pull down promising ratings for this summer show.
Feud first began airing in 1976 with host Richard Dawson at the helm. His charm, slightly chiding nature and constant kissing quickly cemented him as one of TV’s best-loved hosts. In those early days, ABC owned the show, which was canceled by the network in 1985.
The show was born again on CBS in 1988, this time with petite Ray Combs holding center stage. This version was officially canceled in 1993, but continued as a syndicated version (amid some host troubles) until 1995. The show would not return again until 1999 on FOX as a daytime syndicated spot. Nine years of set changes and host changes have kept Feud on FOX ever since, with re-runs always available on GSN.

This Week on TV (6/23-6/29)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, MTV, NBC, Showtime,
(You can view TV Envy’s Summer Television Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (6/23)
- I Love the New Millennium (VH1, 10pm): “Eight-part series featuring stars reminiscing about pop culture phenomena of the new millennium begins with the year 2000.” Is it too soon to wonder what VH1 will cover in 2011?
- Legally Blonde the Musical: The Search for Elle Woods (MTV,10pm): “The ladies perform with a canine costar: Bruiser, the dog from the musical.” I had no idea Ashton Kutcher revived Punk’d.
- Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal (A&E, 10pm): “A 14-year-old boy, who claims to see spirits of people and animals, is introduced to siblings close to his age who supposedly have paranormal gifts.” I’m always happy when freaky kids find someone to play with.
- Weeds (Showtime, 10pm): “Celia’s hard time in county lock-up gets harder when her cellmate decides to make Celia her ‘special girl’.” Yeah - that would definitely suck.

Could Roseanne Replace Rosie?
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Syndication, Gossip, Rumors,
After Rosie O’Donnell’s announcement that she’ll be leaving The View, the rumor mills were buzzing about possible replacements. Potential candidates mentioned include Kathy Griffin, Joan Rivers, and Connie Chung, among others. Looks like we have a front runner though with Roseanne Barr, with many speculating that her outspoken demeanor would fill the void nicely. Roseanne responded to the gossip, saying, “I would love the chance to do that… I think I would do a real good job. I’d stir up some real good controversy.” I’m willing to bet after the dust settles when Rosie leaves that the producers (and head Viewmaster Barbara Walters) may just want to steer clear of controversy for awhile. After all, O’Donnell provided more than her fair share of that.

Lisa Rinna Takes on the Red Carpet
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Award Shows, Daytime, Prime Time, Cable, Cable/Satellite,
Seems like no one wants Joan and Melissa Rivers these days. First E! gave them the boot from red carpet duties, and now the TV Guide Channel is letting the pair go too. Never fear, actress Lisa Rinna will be taking over the red carpet gig, signing an exclusive deal with TV Guide Channel. She starts with the Emmy Awards on September 16th. TV Guide Channel President Ryan O’Hara couldn’t be more pleased, saying, “Lisa has the perfect mix of charisma, poise and experience to lead our live Red Carpet coverage at the major industry award shows. In addition to being an established TV star, she also has fashion expertise as both a business person and commentator, so she is a great fit for this role and for our brand. We are thrilled to welcome her to the TV Guide family and look forward to seeing her on the Red Carpet in September.” I won’t knock Rinna too much—I used to watch her on Days of our Lives back in the day, plus she was on Melrose Place. She also won over a lot of viewers when she was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. Apparently, she’s also served as the host of Soap Talk on SOAPnet, earning four Emmy nominations. And she’s worlds better than either of the Rivers ladies.
