What to Watch…June 23, 2008

Monday! Monday! Monday! It’s back to work, and back to TV. I can’t say there’s a ton of compelling shows to check out tonight, but certainly enough to keep you busy. I’m really going to try to get in at least one episode on my Project: Supernatural quest, but I’ve been failing miserably so I’m not making any promises.

Ok, back to TV. Here’s a sampling of what’s on tonight.

American Gladiators | 8pm on NBC
In contests featuring two married couples, a wrestling coach tries to take down a financial adviser. In the ladies round, a sales rep battles a social worker. [GMMR: I like the obstacle courses but I find most of the contestants annoying with all their fake bravado.]

The Bachelorette | 8pm on ABC
DeAnna meets her final four on their home courts when she meets their families. One dinner is disturbingly tense, another’s family warns her not to be a heartbreaker, and a third guy’s mother is surprisingly candid. [GMMR: I feel like I’ve heard nothing of this season so far. Are people watching? Is DeAnna and her men at least entertaining?]

I Love the New Millennium | 9pm & 10pm on VH1
An eight-part series featuring stars reminiscing about pop-culture phenomena of the new millennium begins with the year 2000. The second episode follows and looks waaaaay back to 2001.

Nashville Star | 9pm on NBC
The 10 remaining acts are whittled down by one. [GMMR: There are definitely a few good people but I was kind of surprised by how many really weak entertainers made it on to the show. There are so many talented wannabe country singers that I thought the talent would be of a higher caliber.]

The Mole | 10pm on ABC
The last eight contestants travel to the Andes Mountains for a grueling uphill climb carrying bricks of gold. [GMMR: Hopefully Paul will come down with laryngitis, because I’d really like to go a whole episode without hearing his annoying voice.]
