It’s another week of television shows coming at you and we’re here to help. Here’s a break down by night of what you need to be sure to catch and what’s going on this week, July 16 - 20, 2007. Lots of reality TV again this week along with a few series running through the summer. This week the big reality TV bomb drops for me with the start of the eighth season of Big Brother. Oh yes, Big Brother 8 is now in full swing with shows 3 nights a week. Awesome. I’ve really been enjoying Age of Love, Pirate Master, and Hell’s Kitchen. Take a look and see what shows you don’t want to miss this week.

Monday:
Age of Love: 9-10pm on NBC; Mark takes a group of three surfing and then watches movies with a different set of women. Later, Mark takes a date to a biker bar to play pool. Check out the rest of our Age of Love coverage.

Hell’s Kitchen: 8-9pm on Fox; Melissa joins the men’s team as it vies with the women to see which team can prepare a better lobster dish. But first, they must kill the lobsters. At the dinner service one team will have its worst night yet. More on Hell’s Kitchen. This is a repeat of last week’s show.

Hell’s Kitchen: 9-10pm on Fox; The first challenge facing the six remaining contestants: make appetizers and entrees from leftovers. Then the teams must come up with their own menus for the evening’s dinner service. The diners definitely prefer one team’s menu, but that’s not necessarily a good thing since devising selections and executing them are two different things. More on Hell’s Kitchen.

Tuesday:
Big Brother 8: 9-10pm on CBS; The power of veto will be up for grabs to potentially offset Jen’s nominations: Dick and Daniele. Check out the rest of our Big Brother 8 coverage.
