There is no question who’s headed home on tonight’s live “Big Brother.” Fragile transgender girl Audrey has been dressing like the unibomber and hiding on the floor of the have-not room, emerging only rarely to use the bathroom and complain about her mistreatment.
Ashley Benson (not to be confused with “Buffy” player Amber Benson) has appeared on 140 hours of “Pretty Little Liars,” but she just landed on my radar thanks to her performance as Josh Gad’s videogame vixen in “Pixels,” which reunites Adam Sandler with Tim Herlihy, the SNL vet who wrote “Billy Madison,” “Happy Gilmore,” “The Wedding Singer,” “The Waterboy,” “Big Daddy,” “Little Nicky” and “Mr. Deeds.” Benson guests on “Late Night” tonight, while Adam Sandler’s old pal Judd Apatow guests on “The Late Late Show.”
I miss looking forward to “Hannibal” on Thursdays like the Canadians do. NBC has it on Saturdays now, and it’s launching its 3-years-later Red Dragon storyline this week.
CBS says of tonight’s “Caged”:
“When Big Jim is captured by Aktaion, the dangerous private corporation that's descended on Chester's Mill to harness the Dome's energy capabilities, he's forced to manipulate Christine for information about her agenda. Also, when Joe and Norrie question the town's new rules, they find themselves in a dangerous face-off with the increasingly unstable residents.”
Premiering or returning tonight:
Man Vs. Child (9pm FYI)
Rusty’s Rockfeast (10pm FYI)
British drama “Dates” is not lighting the CW on fire.
Nor is Denis Leary’s “Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll” doing much for FX.
For the first time this year, Syfy’s “Dominion” broke into cable’s top 100 last Thursday.
“Under The Dome” sank to a new personal low last Thursday.
