TV: Sunday Hot List
July 16 2009, Published 5:40 a.m. ET
To quote the Black Eyed Peas, we gotta a feeling too that “tonight’s gonna be a good, good night” as there are lots of amazing things to watch. Perhaps the most notable is the premiere of Life on all the Discovery channels. Narrated by Oprah Winfrey, this eleven-part documentary series is the definitive exploration of the adaptability and diversity of life on Earth. Tonight, stories of survival in the wild are featured including three cheetahs as they stalk their prey in Kenya.
But, we’re actually most excited about Kirstie Alley’s return to television with her new reality series on A&E called Kirstie Alley’s Big Life. It follows the actress’ struggles to lose weight (again) as she raises her two teenagers. In the first episode, she gets on the scale and reveals her weight to the world. In the second episode, she attempts to get onto a workout regime—first with her handyman and then gives up and has her assistant track down a personal trainer for her instead.
