  • 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.

MONDAY (6/29)
  • The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm):  “Ben tries to figure out where he fits in Amy’s life.” Well, the role of babysitter is always open.
  • Jon & Kate Plus Eight (TLC, 9pm):  “Previously unseen footage of the Gosselin’s early years is featured.” Misty water-colored memories of the way they were….
  • Cake Boss (TLC, 10pm):  “Buddy creates an ornate wedding cake filled wtih live birds.” Watch out - that might not be fondant you’re eating.
  • Dance Your Ass Off (Oxygen, 10pm):  “Twelve plus-size contestants infiltrate Los Angeles in a competition to shed pounds by means of dance and diet in this 10-part unscripted series hosted by .” In other words, a cutthroat version of Sweatin’ to the Oldies.

  • Make It or Break It (ABC Family, 9pm):  Series premiere. “In this drama focusing on the lives of teen gymnasts who strive to make it to the Olympics, new girl Emily Kmetko begins training alongside veterans who are both impressed with and threatened by her.” This could bring a whole new definition to the term “punch front.”
  • Run’s House (MTV, 10pm):  “The family rallies around JoJo after he’s charged with marijuana possession.” This whole time they had a connection within the home.

VIDEO: Jon & Kate Gosselin to Reveal ‘Life-Changing Decisions’

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, Video,


UPDATE: Radaronline.com is reporting that Jon and Kate will divorce.

What do you do when your ratings tumble, your marriage crumbles and you’re caught on camera spanking a child? You put together a special about your “life-changing decisions.”

Next week, TLC will replace the previously scheduled Mother’s Day episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight with an hour devoted to the family’s current state. At least, that’s what I assume the commercial’s messages (“A family in turmoil….a relationship at a crossroads…Where do they go from here?”) are referring to.

Are the Gosselins officially going to separate? Will they end the 40-episode run before it’s really begun? Will Kate finally share her bottle of water with Mady?

Tune in on Monday @ 9:00 to get all your burning questions answered!

Jon and Kate: The Great Debate

Posted by Melissa Trebus Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable,

Jon and Kate

Okay, so last week was the season premiere of . I have been a peeping Tom on this family for the last four seasons. After watching, I have different feelings. One of the things that made this show so entertaining in the past was the “loving” banter between the parents, Jon and Kate. When the show started, they were young parents, obviously hurting financially, trying to make a few bucks and document their children as they grew up. Now… oy… they are as dysfunctional as any other reality television family.

Instead of being entertained, I was depressed. As I watched each of them filmed separately on the couch, I felt like an intruder in a very personal marriage struggle. The show has lost its entertainment factor to me. I watch television to get away from the regular parental struggles. I want to see the underdog prevail. Now don’t get me wrong, I want Jon and Kate to work everything out, but a scripted “reality” show where we have some Kate episodes, some Jon episodes, and a few carefully planned joint appearances is SO not for me. It’s summer time!! I want something light and funny. So this summer I will be scrolling right past TLC and stopping on…..Oxygen maybe? Right now Tori and Dean never looked so appealing!

MONDAY 6/1)
  • I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! (NBC, 8pm):  Series premiere. “In the opener, 10 celebrities are dropped into the heart of the jungle to begin competing in various challenges that test their survival skills.” The first victim? ‘s hair.
  • Jon & Kate Plus Eight (TLC, 9pm):  “The kids team up with professional baker Duff Goldman (Ace of Cakes) to create a special surprise for Kate on her birthday.” Kate, having been left all alone, will be forced to stuff her own pinatas.
  • Unwrapped (Food, 9pm):  “Fried foods are featured. Included: Ian’s organic chicken nuggets.” As if an organic version would make them less wrong.
  • The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien (NBC, 11:30pm): The return of ? Say no more!

Extended Season for Jon & Kate Plus 8

Jon & Kate wedding

TLC might need a bigger couch.

If you noticed the uncomfortable distance between Jon and Kate earlier this week, imagine what that space might look like later. Even though the Gosselins would have been smart to quit while they were ahead, the tabloid subjects committed themselves to a fifth season. And oh what a long one that will be.
