EXTREME MAKEOVER: HE (8PM ABC, CityTV in Canada)
Dammit, some Mississippians have all the luck! Hot on the heels of some girl receiving a $30,000 college scholarship from Ellen Degeneres, some guy will have his Hurricane Katrina ravaged home rebuilt by Ty, his team, not to mention a little help from Christian Slater, the Jonas Brothers and Celine Dion. And for what? Standing up for one’s rights and multiple tours of duty in Iraq… oh wait.
Review: BREAKING BAD
By: Aleks Chan
BREAKING BAD is one of the most difficult shows to try to get people to watch. It sounds downright depressing: after high school chemistry teacher Walter White (two-time Emmy winner Bryan Cranston) is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, he turns to cooking meth to leave his family (his pregnant wife and son with cerebral palsy) a nest egg after his death.
Drafting the help of former student Jesse (Aaron Paul), his desperate attempt to provide for his family puts him in the company of competing gangs, murderous druglords and just under the radar of his DEA agent brother-in-law (Dean Norris).

This, of course, begs the question: Is GLEE on the brink of over-saturation? Our answer, which may surprise you, is after the jump.
