Tonight, CBS has the premiere of the Sunday edition of Big Brother and NBC has the miniseries premiere of Meteor.
Over on cable, BBC America has an Addicted to Surrogacy special, Biography has the second season premiere of I Survived…, Discovery Channel has three Wild Pacific specials, HBO has the sixth season premiere of Entourage, History has the first season finale of Expedition Africa, and Lifetime has the series premiere of Drop Dead Diva.
Drop Dead Diva (Lifetime): Series Premiere. A shallow wannabe model dies and gets herself sent back, but she doesn’t end up in the same body. She finds herself in the body of a plus-sized attorney and must learn to deal with it. Plays again later. I was surprised by how much I liked this show. Once you get past the initial contrivance of how the body swap takes place, it turns into a thoroughly enjoyable mash-up of comedy and drama in a legal show setting. Brooke Elliot is really quite good in the role of size-two model stuck inside a plus-sized attorney.
Hung (HBO): New. A former colleague of Tanya agrees to help Ray with a practice run. Plays again later. The premiere episode was better than I thought it would be, so will give it a couple more episodes to see where it goes.
Entourage (HBO): Season Premiere. Vince is set to take his driving test and is preparing to appear with Jay Leno to promote his new movie. Lloyd gives Ari and ultimatum. Plays again later.
Pune: Noted Marathi film and stage actor Nilu Phule passed away at a hospital here today. He was 80.
