TV Tonight: 90210, My So-Called Life, Bad Girls Club, Leno
Posted By Bill Frost on April 25, 2011, 3:05 PM
What’s new tonight:
90210 (The CW) Hilarity ensues when Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes) switches Silver’s (Jessica Stroup) bi-polar medication with sugar pills. No, really. I enjoy watching ridiculously hot CW girls (with the sound turned off) as much as the next guy, but what’s become of our young-adult TV dramas? And why are you still on my lawn? We need more shows like …
My So-Called Life (Sundance Channel) Rerun Premiere: The influential (but apparently not influential enough) ‘90s series about high school life and bright colors is back. Relive the days before Claire Danes became a “once-promising” footnote and Jared Leto didn’t have a shitty post-emo band. Those were the days …
The Bad Girls Club (Oxygen) Season Finale: Even though the ‘ho-hum cast of Season 6 has been the first to fail to top the previous year’s fight club of psycho-skank Bad Girls, it’s at least been a personal triumph for The Only TV Column That Matters™: My Season 5 review quote, “The Bad Girls Club, like bacon of the month, or an STD, really is the gift that keeps on giving,” has appeared in all 13 episodes, emblazoned on the BGC reality-house wall. Other than that, a pretty disappointing season—isn’t it about time for an all-stars edition, Oxygen? I have plenty more quotes.
The Tonight Show With Jay Leno (NBC) One of tonight’s scheduled guests is Paul Reiser, star of the just-canceled Paul Reiser Show, the lowest-rated new series in NBC history. Wonder what they’ll talk about?
Also new tonight:
Dancing With the Stars, Better With You (ABC); Mad Love (CBS); The Event, Law & Order: LA (NBC); The Chicago Code (Fox); Gossip Girl (The CW); Sanctuary, Stargate Universe (Syfy); Pawn Stars (History); Bethanny Ever After (Bravo); The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family); WWE Raw (USA); The Hard Times of RJ Berger (MTV); Nurse Jackie, United States of Tara (Showtime); Conan (TBS)
Preview: Leave it to 90210 to spin a cautionary tale about not taking drugs …
