TV: Wednesday Hot List
July 16 2009, Published 12:32 p.m. ET
Being Erica returns to SoapNet tonight for its second season. It’s one of those shows that wasn’t really on our RadarOnline.com when it debuted last year but has definitely piqued our curiosity. It’s a basic plot—thirty-something woman not happy with her life and career seeks therapy. Instead she goes back in time and gets to redo key moments of her life that she wished had gone differently. It seemed like a contrived and cliché plot at the time—but now that this show has a second season we are absolutely curious how Erica’s time travel will affect her life—and how her trippy therapist even made it possible in the first place!
Sigh, as much as we should be embarrassed to admit it—we’re flashing a big, teeth whitened grin because there’s a new episode of Toddlers and Tiaras tonight. The stage moms, the anxious pageant coaches, the abundance of spray tans and glitter eye shadow—we just can’t get enough! Tonight, the spotlight is on the Little Miss Glitz pageant in Florida. Ahhh—the name alone is just amazing. Simply amazing!
And, if you can’t get enough of over the top pageant competitions—then we have a sneaking suspicion that American Idol is on our RadarOnline.com too. Tonight, the auditions move along in Orlando, Florida—home of boy bands like the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC so this round will either be a hotbed of talent—or a fabulous parade of freaks—showing off their vocal prowess (or lack there of)!
