MONDAY 12/22)

• Prison Break (FOX, 9pm):  “Sara is waiting for news of Michael in a luxury hotel, and she’s not enjoying the luxury.” She becomes unreasonably paranoid anytime someone offers to turn down her bed.
• Momma’s Boys (NBC, 9pm):  “The guys go on group dates planned by their moms and individual dates they planned.” Until the big Jay Leno move, NBC will just run MTV’s hand-me-downs.
• The Hills (MTV, 10pm):  Season 4 finale. “Lauren and Heidi run into each other and are reminded of why they used to be friends.” I, quite frankly, could use a reminder as well.
• 17 Kids & Counting (TLC, 10pm):  “The family welcomes the arrival of Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar.” Wake me up when they get to “J.Lo.”

The Funniest Shows on Cable

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV

Need a cure for the rerun blues? Forget about network and don’t worry about repeats - if you’ve never seen the show, it’s not a rerun to you. Get acquainted with some of the shows you may not even know about…and in some cases, you might wonder how you ever got along without them.

Cable TV offers plenty of diversion, and sure a lot of shows get repeated. But in the middle of a writers strike while studios scramble to find anything to put on the tube, those obscure (and hilarious) cable shows may just become the saving grace of evening TV watching. Check out four relatively obscure, yet hysterical, cable shows and find out just how fun reruns can be.

‘Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood’: The Next Great Reality Family?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Reality, Cable, Gossip

The Osbournes paved the way for musicians as reality stars, but so far there have been few successes for rich recording families. Many have tried, but few have matched the ratings success of this first musical family. E! hopes to change all that with their new series, Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood.

The series will feature Snoop himself, of course, along with wife Shante and their three kids aged 7, 9 and 11.  The artist’s life will include all sorts of tidbits from the recording industry as the rapper is currently poised to release his new album, Ego Trippin’, in a matter of days.  But with Father Hood, it’s what viewers won’t see that will be interesting.  Surprisingly, this show isn’t going to be about gangsta living and chasing tail; audiences will get a rare look at Dogg in his California hills home as a family man.
