TV: Tuesday Hot List
July 18 2009, Published 2:02 p.m. ET
The eagerly awaited new NBC drama Parenthood premieres tonight. Produced by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer (and based on their movie of the same name from the 80s), it focuses on a struggling single mom (played by Lauren Graham of the beloved series Gilmore Girls) who moves back home with her parents. She and her three other siblings go through the challenges of life, relationships and raising kids together.
And we love, love, love Patti Stanger’s no nonsense approach to dating and mating on The Millionaire Matchmaker. Tonight, her flashy client Jimmy D (we met him last season -- he’s the one that loves to refer to himself in the third person) returns and promises Patti that he’s super serious about finding love. We shall see! Patti’s other client this evening is computer millionaire searching for a nice, Christian girl!
