"Greek"
EW: "Casey has a hard time settling in as sorority prez. It's tough to find the right oversize Champion sweatshirt with flower-pattern Greek letters. Wow, could my sorority references be any more 1992?"
Never even *heard* of this one, and it's on its second season?

"Hell's Kitchen" B-
"The cooks on Hell's Kitchen aren't exactly top-shelf (or Top Chef, for that matter). The producers who cook up Kitchen must know it too, because they resort to cheap tricks to goose up the premiere, like having Gordon Ramsay go undercover in full makeup (think Ozzy Osbourne meets Andy Capp) to eavesdrop on the new Hellions. And what do we learn? Three things: First, never call yourself ''the black Gordon Ramsay.'' Second, these pretenders to the throne (the winner will cook in Ramsay’s newest eatery) are just as hapless as the past three crews. Third, it’s always more fun to watch someone else burn dinner."

Hell's Kitchen is one of my favorite summer shows (at least it's usually on during the summer). I love watching Ramsey in action and I love watching the contestants sweat.

I just saw The Ultimate Fighter was on Spike Tv today. It was great. 32 fighters came in this time. 8 fights were shown in one hour. Rampage, Forrest, and Dana White were commentating at a table ring side, they were hilarious.

8-10PM BBC America, TV-MA Wire in the Blood B
"There’s nothing Brit about Wire’s fifth-season starter. Criminal psychologist Tony Hill (the excellent Robson Green) crosses the pond to size up an Iraq-war vet accused of killing his family. Years ago, Hill had a brain tumor that still gives him freaky visions of himself in a killer’s place — think Eli Stone meets Dexter — making him uniquely suited for his job. Once you get past the Southern jokes, overdone fish-out-of-water elements, and the oddity that no one in this middle-class Texas suburb has air-conditioning, the mystery is pretty compelling. Still, it might be best to wait till next week, when Tony heads home. — Aubry D'Arminio"

Season Premiere
So You Think You Can Dance
"While So You Think You Can Dance has wooed the dancing illiterate with West Coast swing and krumping, one esteemed style has yet to break through: ''I would like to do one or two ballet routines,'' says judge and exec producer Nigel Lythgoe. ''That was the basis of most dance.'' Don't worry — as per usual, body parts other than the tiptoes will also get a workout. ''Somebody went from [spinning on] their elbow to one part of their neck,'' marvels judge Mary Murphy. ''You're sitting there thinking, 'Is that a mistake? No, he meant to do that. Ouch!''' — Adam B. Vary"
9:30-11PM NBC, TV-14
Season Premiere
Last Comic Standing
"Let's review the rules: (1) Limit props to just a guitar, please; (2) no jokes about punching babies (shocking how often that comes up); (3) be amusing. Six seasons in, few comics heed rule 3. Tonight clears out the flop sweat so (slightly) funnier yuksters can vie for $250K and bragging rights — assuming there are any. B"

Meerkat Manor B-
"I don't watch this, so I asked my meerkat-loving mom to review. —AW: With food scarce and most of the Aztecs back with the Whiskers, Meerkat’s return is as bleak as its winter landscape. The Commandos execute a raid, Maybelline hunts for a clan roost, and narrator Sean Astin is gone. Pity. — Lorraine Oliver Thanks, Mom! Shoulda put you to work years ago."

Intervention
"A&E's Emmy-nominated series returns for its fifth season with an episode about crack-cocaine addict Chad, a former professional cyclist who is so unabashedly unashamed of his drug use that he makes sure to ask the cameras, ''Are you getting this?'' while taking a hit. Far more compelling and honest than Celebrity Rehab, Intervention's never easy to watch, but it's certainly buzz-worthy. B+ —Kate Ward"

Live From Abbey Road B-
A milquetoast (James Blunt), a mopey quartet (Dashboard Confessional), and a monarch of soul (Mary J. Blige) kick off season 2 of the studio performance series. They seem awfully lonely without an audience — but when Blige hits her stride, she can fill up a room by herself. —Simon Vozick-Levinson

Penn & Teller: Bulls---!
"The duo takes on some feminists. Yeah, people who think women are equal are such losers. Not like fake mutes or frizzy-haired reality-dance-show rejects."
11PM-Midnight SOAPnet, TV-14-DLS
Series Debut
MVP
"If Footballers Wive$ is the ultimate guilty pleasure, then this Canadian soap about hockey players and their spouses is all guilt. A shiny but bland rip-off of Wive$ (the producers claim to have been ''inspired'' by the British cult smash), MVP wasn't compelling enough for Canada's CBC to renew it for a second season. (But its reruns are apparently good enough for SOAPnet!) If only the pilot had more shirtless hockey players or some really lethal bitchiness coming from the wives, it could have given at least a little pleasure, eh? C —Ari Karpel"
