What to Watch…Monday, July 9, 2007

Age of Love
NBC sent along an advanced copy of this week’s episode, and let’s just say we are in for some seriously genius reality TV tonight. The women compete in a triathlon whose winners get a date on a yacht with Mark. Later, the ladies play doubles tennis to vie for diamond bracelets and a solo date in Mark’s suite.

Greek
ABC Family offers the tale of a geeky college freshman named Rusty, his hottie big-sister Casey, and their adventures in frats and sororities, dorms and bars.

The Closer
One cop goes over the line as the team races to rescue an abducted little girl. I can’t say that I personally watch the show (I’m still catching up on last season), but I know a lot of you love it.

World Series of Pop Culture
I’d get humiliated on Jeopardy and would be too frazzled for Deal or No Deal. But the World Series of Pop Culture? Now that’s my game. If you’ve never seen this show before, it’s worth checking out. Where else would knowing Screech’s real name on Saved by the Bell earn you cash and prizes.

Home Run Derby
Eight sluggers, four from the AL and four from the NL, compete in the first of the All-Star festivities. No one from the Red Sox is competing (no Big Papi this year) so I probably will TiNo it until later tonight.
