Show: Brooke Knows Best
Episode: “Movin’ In” (1×01)
You Can Watch It: Sundays at 10pm on VH1
If anyone was going to press a young star into doing a reality show at the most inappropriate, awkward time possible, it would be VH1. Brooke Hogan, having just come off a hiatus from taping her life for the past four years as part of the VH1 series Hogan Knows Best that chronicled the lives of all her family members, now has a spin-off all about herself. Brooke Knows Best premiered this week, and while this seems to be the worst possible time for Brooke to be prancing around flaunting all of her now-legal goodies and promoting her sophomore album, the show must go on.

Show: Law & Order: Criminal Intent
Episode: “Assassin” (7×14)
You Can Watch It: Sundays at 9pm on USA
Criminal Intent got political this week when it mirrored (maybe more like alluded to) the life of prominent female activists such as Benazir Bhutto, who was the first woman in history elected by a Muslim state and was sadly assassinated last December after leaving a rally for her political party.

The Bhutto-esque character in the episode, Bela Kahn, becomes the victim of a string of attempts on her life—the first of which comes after she holds a secret rally for members of her party in the New York City area. Mysteriously, every time there is an attempt on Bela’s life, someone else ends up dead. Continue reading »

Show: Greek
Episode: “A Tale of Two Parties” (1×20)
You Can Watch It: Mondays at 8pm on ABC Family
The plots are still thickening as we near the end of the first season of Greek. Golden boy Evan Chambers, who is currently the hero of all the Greeks on campus for getting the administration to lift their heavy restrictions (“No Campus for Old Rules” 1×19), decides to throw a six-way party for the best fraternities and sororities on CRU’s Greek row. And in Evan’s mind that of course means excluding Kappa Tau (Cappie Tau?) at all costs. Not the type to take this kind of insult lying down, the KTs decide to throw their own party. As the rivalry between Evan and Cappie finds new life, Casey fuels the fire of the rivalry between her and Rebecca by assigning the pledges the duty of being sober sisters the night of the six-way party.
