Check in with us daily to see what's new tonight in the land of reality competition summer TV.
My pick for tonight: I haven't watched it yet myself, but CBC's Triple Sensation sounds interesting, at least. It won a Gemini, so you KNOW it's good. (Feel the sarcasm.
Summer TV often offers little in the way of new television beyond reality competition series, but check in with us daily to see what's new tonight.
My pick for tonight: If you have cable, there's a new Say Yes to the Dress on TLC at 10:00, and I would be lying if I denied this show's clutch on my heart.
What happens when the director of Forty Year Old Virgin (Judd Apatow), the creator of Ghost Busters (Harold Ramis) and some of the world's most talented comedic actors (Jack Black, Michael Cera) get together and make a movie? Well, let's just say not exactly what you'd expect.
The problem with recent romantic comedies is that they all seem spliced from the same Petri dish. A few variables change slightly: stars (Katherine Heigl or Kate Hudson), settings (wedding in Rhode Island or wedding in New York) and plot details; but the general lackluster style remains unvaried.

My pick for tonight: Canada's Next Top Model on CTV. A healthy dose of Mr. Jay never did any harm, plus these girls are much cattier than what the last U.S.

Monday nights are slim pickings, so my choice for quality viewing tonight? Global is re-airing Season 2 of Lie to Me at 9 PM.
Heist movies are great. I love putting the plan that's unfolding onscreen under a microscope and picking it apart. Who doesn't like to think they are smarter than a criminal mastermind? Without even seeing Tony Scott's The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, I had a pretty good idea why the heist was bound to fail and what I'd do differently.
