TV Junkie: Kattan Gets Series
America's other favorite couple, T.O. and Joanna Krupa return to "The Superstars" at 8pm on ABC
We're in the midst of a pretty dead week TV-wise and we're about to start a pretty dead month TV-wise. There is virtually no new programming this week and late night is in rerun mode. We guess this is why warm weather was invented. If you have some suggestions for programs to watch this week, please let us know.
