Pajiba After Dark: I Have a Craving for Chocolate Croissants and Tiny Dogs
By Genevieve Burgess | Miscellaneous | June 1, 2011 | Comments ()
I have a bit of a dilemma tonight. There are several new summer series that have premieres tonight and most of them are fine and will just become objects of my scorn as the weeks wear on and I have to face the grim fate of writing about shows no one cares about AGAIN some more. However, that’s my job description, not the problem; the problem is that one of these shows stars a woman whose name has been banned from the site. So, the question is do I bother to get a dispensation to discuss that show specifically or simply dance around it and for now, it amuses me to dance around it. the woman is famous for a “leaked” sex tape from a few years ago, her name doesn’t start with K, and this is (at my count) her third go at a reality series. Neither of the other two are on the air anymore. This is the last time you’ll see that title in it’s correct form. Here’s your Wednesday night TV:

“Franklin and Bash” on TNT. Series premiere. I’ll admit, I’m gonna give this a shot. The commercials seem amusing even though I have a philosophical objection to another new show about lawyers.
“Haunted Collector” on SyFy Series premiere.

“Man vs. Food Nation” on Travel. Series premiere.
“Mystery Diagnosis” on OWN
