Cate Blanchett stars in The Golden Age |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (TV Debut) – 8/7c on HBO
Oscar magnet Cate Blanchett reprises her role as Queen Elizabeth I in this sorta-sequel to 1998’s superior Elizabeth. (Shhhh… Don’t tell Academy members it’s on lest they get confused and nominate her again for this role!) Blanchett is predictably top-notch, but director Shekhar Kapur goes a bit over-the-top with his history this time around. Still, it’s worth watching for the costume work alone.

World’s Ugliest Dog Competition – 10/9c on Animal Planet
With no reality-competition shows remaining for cute or talented dogs, what kind of canine exploitation is left? Fortunately, Animal Planet producers realized they had an untapped entertainment resource all along: ugly dogs! Beth Ostrosky (aka Mrs. Howard Stern) hosts this California-based tournament in which one pooch is crowned the ugliest of the ugly. OK, sarcasm aside, it sounds pretty damn guilty pleasure-iffic!
