Wednesday, June 27

On this date in 1358 the Republic of Dubrovnik was official declared no longer subject to the rule of Venice and although it was taken under Hungary’s protection, it became a primarily autonomous city-state, until being conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte four hundred fifty years later. Challenge: say “Republic of Dubrovnik” five times in a row and tell me if it doesn’t completely improve your mood (and strangely make you want to wear a fur hat and call everyone “comrade” for the rest of the day.)

Dogs in the City (CBS 8pm) A mischievous puppy chews holes in the walls; a family with a hefty dog starts exercising; Justin works with a dog who is aggressive with men.

Silly Justin, he’s dominant, not aggressive.

So You Think You Can Dance (Fox 8pm) During the 200th episode of the series, the top 20 finalists are announced; actress Zooey Deschanel serves as guest judge.

All contestants will be required to tap dance to show tunes while wearing crinoline petticoats and ridiculously wide belts.

Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles (Bravo 9pm) Josh Altman’s temper runs short, causing him to miss a huge listing; Madison concocts a plan to sell his family home; one of Josh Flagg’s clients threatens to back out of a deal.

I hope Madison told the rest of the family; otherwise they might take it badly when the new owners start moving in.

Monte Carlo (HBO Signature 9pm)

A case of mistaken identity turns a trip to Europe into the adventure of a lifetime for a teen, her stepsister and her best friend.

What, you guys didn’t really think I was only going to settle for two nights on the air per week, did you? Also, those bitches at HBO are going to pay for spelling my name wrong. Now where did I put that meat cleaver…?

Cajun Pawn Stars (The History Channel 9pm) The guys check out a 1975 Mac Fire Truck; an old railroad track known as a Sherman Necktie; Joker pops by in hopes of selling his classic 1950s popcorn machine.

Many hilarious misunderstandings took place when this show originally began filming, because that is actually how they pronounce “porn” down on the bayou.

Dallas (TNT 9pm) John Ross tries to gain the upper hand over a family member; Christopher opens up to Bobby about his difficulty in choosing between two women.

The pressing question this season: Who will change J.R.’s catheter bag?

Hollywood Exes (VH1 9m) Former wives of stars try to find success and independence on their own.

By living off of exorbitant alimony checks and having camera crews follow them around as they attempt to launch their own brands of designer handbags.

Final Witness (ABC 10pm) The story of a woman who, along with her two children, was killed in her rural Texas home in 2008, as told from her imagined vantage point.

Suck it, Fallon, from now on I’m going to bed three hours earlier on Wednesday nights after watching this comedy gem.

The Real World: St. Thomas (MTV 10pm) The roommates move in to their St. Thomas home; one roommate feels left out.

It’s like looking in a mirror of my own post high-school experience. Cinéma vérité, indeed.

Twintervention (TLC 10pm) Following the lives of identical twins who have unique and interconnected relationships.

In a very special episode, next week Twintervention focuses on its first set of fraternal twins.

What will you be watching tonight?

About

After giving birth to her fourth child, SuburBint carefully weighed the options and decided that recapping reality TV was probably a better choice in the long run than alcoholism. Liver function tests have yet to confirm the wisdom of this decision. Being an honest-to-goodness recapper is also a dream come true, as she has aspired to do this ever since discovering that such a thing existed way back in 2002.

Her favorite shows of all time include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Coupling, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Firefly, Community, Parks and Recreation, Doctor Who, and Veronica Mars. She can also quote The Big Lebowski in its entirety, and will do so with little to no provocation.

    SSC — I tried to stay out of it. I really did. I showed admirable restraint, until I didn’t. Oh well.

    The best part of most of MTV “reality” shows are they make me feel super smart. Heck, if you know to look both ways before crossing the street, they should make you feel smart. And Real World makes me happy I am old enough to not live with roommates.

    I have been watching Dallas, Jesse Manboobs is awful. He is painful to watch. I was not old enough to watch the original, but I am starting to think it was a lot better than this go around. I don’t think this version will be lasting so long.

    @ carol — Why bother looking both ways before crossing the street when safety cones and mounted police officers have cordoned off public access for 3 blocks in order to protect MTV’s investment?

    OH. Em. Gee. I never thought of the reason the JS cast are cordoned off. The little escapade of Deena’s says it all. They aren’t smart enough to look both ways.

    Why isn’t Real World ‘capped now? Am I missing something?
