When I imagine the pitch for the Hills spin-off The City, it goes a little something like this:

Hey, I have a great idea! So how about we take the boringest character? From the boringest reality show? And make a show about her? It's sure to be a non-stop thrill ride, not to mention a ratings bonanza!

I'll admit that I have been enjoying the check-your-brain-at-the-door fun that is My Own Worst Enemy for its spy capers and my '90s Christian Slater fangirl nostalgia, but last night's episode had a few too many things in it that I guess were supposed to be Alias references, but just came off as plain old theft to me. First of all, when Janus calls Henry at home, they identify themselves as "Sal's Pizza." Sound familiar? When the CIA called Sydney in Season 1 they identified themselves as "Joey's Pizza." Would it have killed them to pick another cover? Maybe a Chinese place? A dry cleaner maybe? Oh, and that's not all.

Last night my dorky dreams came true when Cory Matthews guest starred on Chuck. Little Ben Savage has grown up to be a slightly taller version of his Boy Meets World character (I don't know why I write about that show so much; I just can't help myself), but in this case way smarter. He's a nerd who married the most popular cheerleader in school (who is played by Nicole Richie, who isn't as terrible as one might think she would be as an actress, especially when she just has to play bitchy) and has used his big brain to develop some sort of weapon. I'm just so happy to see him have a job, and the fact that they made him hero worship Chuck, rather, Special Agent Charles Carmichael, was just too cute to stand. I want him on the show all the time! He could be their Marshall and make them awesome spy gear. That's exactly what this show has been missing.

After much speculation, denials and other typically political subterfuge, GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin finally made an appearance on SNL this past Saturday. Contrary to rumors, Palin did not parody Tina Fey's American Express commercial. In fact, of the two skits she appeared in, she played herself in both of them, which I believe is code for "this ho can't act worth a damn." Luckily, her presence didn't dissuade Tina Fey from putting on another spot-on Palin impersonation, this time with extra meta winking -- the two, dressed identically, passed one another as Fey left the podium and Palin took the stage.

Talk about Terminator salvation, am I right? After weeks of vicious rumors swirling that Fox had plans to cancel Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the network has clearly heard the cries of fans, feared their wrath, and decided the show is worth keeping around, at least for an entire season. The network has officially ordered the remaining nine episodes of the second season, despite modest ratings (but to be fair, six million viewers per week really isn't that terrible. I mean, they can't all be the inexplicable ratings powerhouse that is the 18 million viewers per week NCIS!).

Despite promises by Tim Kring (who, to steal a phrase from Demian, is a lying liar who lies) that there would be no time wasted on new characters this season, we're getting yet another new character this season. And don't kill me, but I'm actually excited about this one. I know, I know, heresy. The character is vaguely being called "The Hunter," and he will be played by Damages Emmy winner Zeljko Ivanek, who is awesome in every way, and certainly capable of being a very creepy bad guy. At least that's what it sounds like he will be because hunters scare me. I just hope he specializes in hunting down stupid time-traveling plot twists and shoots 'em dead! Or stupid time-traveling Peters and... shoots 'em dead! The character will appear for a multi-episode arc beginning with episode 14. What do you think? Bad guy? Good guy? Who needs to be hunted the most? Fire at will!

We really want Heroes to get better. Seriously. Here's our suggestions for how it can stop sucking.

We highlight (or lowlight) the ten slimiest guys on reality TV. There are some real douchebags out there.

On a related note, Terence on The Amazing Race might be a serial killer. Which could qualify him for several of our lists this week.

There are a surprising amount of similarities between Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Ron Perlman, that guy who is Hellboy, he used to dress up in another heavily made up costume. And it was wonderful.

Reality TV is hardly ever a true reflection of normal people's every day lives. Nor is it, let's be honest, a true reflection of abnormal people's lives. But taking into account that the world is overflowing with creepy, skeevy, douchey dudes, we take some measure of comfort in the authenticity of the reality TV representations of this beloved demographic. So we've put the spotlight on the TWoP Ten Creepiest Guys on Reality TV.

I know there are people out there who adore Boston Legal and while I'm not a fan, I don't hate it. I just really can't watch it regularly. It's a perfectly fine show, but I've had my fill of most legal dramas (well, unless they are f'ed up like Damages). Which is why I'm completely unenthusiastic about the news that David E. Kelley is making yet another legal series for next season on NBC, with the hopes that it could take the spot of the long-lingering and finally being put out to pasture ER.

In today's installment of why I want to move to the UK, they're now working on a reality show where contestants have to live with gorillas. And it isn't like Survivor: Gabon where you see the animals but have no interaction with them and are not even close to them. Eight people get selected and are sent to Uganda to live in the jungle and behave like apes. They've got to eat like them, sleep like them and travel like them. Honestly, I'm surprised no one has done this before. Those wacky Brits, they've got the foresight and they've found a way to combine my love of shows like Meerkat Manor and Planet Earth with my addiction to shows like Big Brother and Real World. It's kind of genius in a way. Just like The Jungle Book, but without Baloo and the catchy tunes.
