TV Tonight: "Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll"

Ok, I love "America's Next Top Model" as much as the next reality-show junkie, but I don't know if I can stomach The CW's new reality series, "Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for The Next Doll" - and not just because it means having that awful "Don't Cha" song stuck in my head for days on end.

The series, which premieres tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern, is like a sluttier version of "Grease: You're the One That I Want." Or perhaps "Making the Band" if it were hosted by Mark McGrath (who, by the way, totally ruled on "Rock 'n' Roll Jeopardy.") Lil' Kim, meanwhile, serves as a judge. According to a CW press release:

After a nationwide audition process, the judges narrowed the dancers down to the final diverse group of nine young women, who move into a loft in Los Angeles' fashion district during the competition. Each episode has a specific theme - confidence, creativity and style are just a few of the themes addressed.

Themes? Oh goody! What do you guys think: guilty pleasure or downright intolerable? You can watch a promo for the show when you

Doctor Who Recap: Night Terrors

Kelly Schwarze — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 04:47:00 PDT

Diverging from the story line of recent episodes, this week's Doctor Who was happily (for me, anyway) free of worry over the Doctor's death date or a futile search for Baby Pond. "Night Terrors" served as standalone story, reminding us of the scary things that kept us awake as children and the Doctor showing how great he is with house calls.

Aboard the TARDIS with Amy and Rory, the Doctor receives a distress call from a child, George, scared in his room, wishing to be saved from the monsters. Within his haunting apartment building, we see the noises and people, the old lady from down the hall and mean landlord, who contribute to the boy's insomnia and neuroses. As George's father Alex explains to the Doctor, while Amy and Rory vanish into a dollhouse filled with life-size wooden dolls, everything that troubles his son is put into the cupboard in his room where it can't harm him.

As much as adults would like to dismiss the monsters that haunt children, these ones are real, and what was once a tale of the creepy things that go bump in the night is that of a dad's love for his son. The dolls of this episode have serious merit for scariest "monster" of the season. Before next week's episode dives back into the story of the Doctor and his companions, take a look at the most striking moments of saving George from his "Night Terrors."
