The Lost Boys 2K8: Frogs Forever (FOX)
There's one thing Grandpa never could stand about living in Santa Carla: all the damn vampires. Well, Grandpa's dead, the rest of the Emmersons have left town, and the problem has only gotten worse. But the Frog Brothers aren't going anywhere. Edgar (David Faustino) and Alan (Edward Furlong) battle a variety of vampires, demons, goblins and what-have-you every week. Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, only really, really shitty.

So You Think You Can Be Scarface (MTV)
A new reality show that's been called "racist and horrifying" (The Wall Street Journal), "morally repugnant" (The New Yorker), "definitely illegal" (the Office of National Drug Control Policy) and "the best thing on TV" (Maxim), SYTYCBS started by putting a dozen Cubans on a leaky boat to the United States, and promised a million dollars to the first one to build his own drug empire. Unfortunately for the producers, upon arrival in America, the Cubans all received green cards and started working legitimate jobs. After alienating the U.S.'s Cuban community, the producers then angered the country's black population by suggesting that the new contestants could be rappers who are obsessed with the film (i.e. "all rappers"). The show ultimately settled on a candid documentary format, following a California fraternity with no connection to the movie at all other than a tendency to yell, "Say hello to my little friend!" in a bad Cuban accent at parties. Oh, and also all the coke. MTV has ordered a four-season run.
