    "With spitfire teen queen Lor'Rena in Vegas, and fan favorite Staci subdued by pregnancy, the show's addictive venom seems to have dissipated. But with new drama simmering for glamazon Gerren (she won't leave Moriah alone!), season 3 looks like it'll get better, later. C+ ?Tanner Stransky"

    "Baby Jordyn-Grace Makiya comes home. Clearly, the Duggars are running out of good names, so maybe it's time for a vasectomy?"

    The Octomom is not alone. Why anyone would give these lunatics their own TV show is beyond me.

    Reaper

    "Back for its second season, Reaper has one thing left going for it: Ray Wise as the dapper Devil. Bret Harrison's Sam has been established as his son, but Sam must still do the same thing: capture souls to send to hell. The gimmick has grown lame, even if this week Sam does his task with an electric cattle prod. So is a new gimmick: Pal Sock (Tyler Labine) finds out he has a hotsy stepsister (Eriko Tamura), and he lusts after her. Doesn't that mean his soul should go to hell too? C ?Ken Tucker"

    Reaper's not the greatest show on TV, but that Tucker guy sounds like an idiot.

    It's shot in BC. A point in its favour.

    The CW

    Must Watch of the Week Season Premiere
    America's Next Top Model

    "A group of 13 women assembles in Las Vegas. One has a disease that Americans know nothing about ? epilepsy! ? so they must be educated. Another is treated like she's so fat that Sully could land a plane on her behind. And a third is so cripplingly old (25) that it's truly amazing she still has control of her bodily functions. What could bring these gals together? A new cycle of America's Next Top Model. Aside from her usual go-tos, Tyra Banks still manages to uncover some wonderful loony tunes 12 cycles in, like Allison, whose biggest goal is to have the nosebleed that has eluded her all of her life...because she's obsessed with blood. After this Vegas episode, Tyra transports the contestants to the Republic of Gossip Girl (the Upper East Side of New York City). And with any luck, there'll be a crossover episode in which Allison's dream is fulfilled ? after Blair clocks her in the face. ?Henry Goldblatt"

    Season Premiere
    Make Me a Supermodel

    "Unlike that other modeling show on tonight (see Must Watch), there is little pretense to this show being about much more than getting hot people in their underwear. What's wrong with that? Let's see: There are caricature-ish judges (one-named photographer Perou), predictable contestants (the homophobic ''I'm especially not gay'' Branden), and a runway show that insults viewers with clothing ''inspired by'' real designers. At least the breathtaking ballet dancer Sandhurst and bitchy beauty Salome are killer eye candy. B-"

    Keeping Up With the Kardashians

    "This reality series has always been a tad shallow ? that's part of its charm! ? but the season 3 premiere hits new lows in selfish behavior. After failing to complete her drunk-driving classes due to an Australian jaunt, Khloe is sentenced to jail time. Don't worry about Kardashians going all Oz: The poor little rich girl is released after only a few hours of hard time. And how does the Kardashian clan celebrate her freedom? A round of shots at lunch. This episode has been found guilty...of being obnoxious. C ?Tim Stack"

    Tracey Ullman's State of the Union
    B

    "Now that we've become accustomed to daily flayings from Stewart, Colbert & Co., Ullman's take on American absurdity feels oddly gentle despite its topicality. Still, the shape-shifting British comedian's characters have a loopy, if intermittent, charm. Among the best: pharmacist Padma Perkesh, who punctuates her pill dispensing with Bollywood-style dances, and former First Lady Laura Bush, played here as a chain-smoking Southern belle. Ullman's Celine Dion, however, looks disturbingly like Mister Rogers' Lady Elaine. ?Leah Greenblatt"

    Iron Man: Armored Adventures
    B+

    "The Iron Man of comic books and last year's blockbuster film is a grown man named Tony Stark, with a grown man's problems. He responsibly leads a global tech firm into the future, struggles with the siren lures of easy women and stiff booze, and occasionally pummels earthshaking bad guys. But in Nicktoons' new cartoon series, Tony is a teenage boy, coping with his billionaire father's mysterious death. What could've been a clunky retrograde reboot works surprisingly well, thanks to some smart writing and stellar CG butt-kickery. ?Marc Bernardin"

    So You Think You Can Dance

    "Lace up those boogie shoes: Season 5 boasts ''a phenomenal change in standards,'' according to exec producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe. He won't dish about the finalists, but Lythgoe hints that the female dancers are the ones to watch ? or ogle, really. ''The girls are really beautiful.... [They] almost could be models,'' he says. Is loudmouth judge Mary Murphy as enthusiastic? If Lythgoe's hearing is any indication, we'd say yes. ''I'm holding my telephone to my right ear,'' he jokes, ''because my left ear is basically shot.'' ?Kate Ward"

The gurus criticize Blossom for being uncomfortable with her body, but she's really just uncomfortable with the show. ?Annie Barrett"

    They should do more men, though. The way some people dress is a crime.

    I agree, and the few shows they've done with men are really fun to watch.
