Entourage (10:30/9:30c) feels awfully washed-out and washed-up, kind of like Vince Chase's dormant career, as the show counts down to the end. Vince emerges from rehab a sadder but wiser man, but does anyone really care?

Review: Same Name
As so often happens with reality shows, Same Name is a cute idea lacking the heft to sustain its premise. A celebrity and some ordinary person with the same name trade places (think Life Swap, not Wife Swap), trying to walk a mile in each other's Gucci loafers and muddy work boots, respectively. Once situated, though, there's not much for either of them to do.

Recap: Torchwood
With every week it’s on the air, Torchwood: Miracle Day continues to expand its scope. In "Dead of Night," the reach of the show’s story gets even larger as the writers begin to draw connections between all of the characters we’ve met so far and a mysterious (probably evil) drug company named Phicorp. (If I were naming a drug company that, I’d definitely spell it Pficor.)

Review: Same Name
Same Name (CBS, Sunday at 9/8c), in which a famous person trades lives for a couple of days with a nonfamous person of the same name, is as entertaining as it is disposable.
This is in some ways the ultimate summer series, filler without a thought in its frothy head.

Review: Web Therapy
The Lisa Kudrow-starring Web series moves to a half-hour format on Showtime with funny but uneven results.
Recap: Bachelorette
"The Bachelorette": Honestly...do you care about who she picks? Look, I have watched just about every season of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette", and I've NEVER been this bored. I just read in Entertainment Weekly that they've decided to keep "recycling" contestants for the future pickers. They said that they love having characters and a story line, much like on soap operas. Somebody remind me what's happening to all the network soap operas? Right...they are all being canceled pretty much. Bring in some new blood! (See a clip from this show.)
Review: Awkward
Aside from the gratuitous sexual stuff, "Awkward" is a really good, funny, fun show.
Jenna (Ashley Rickards) is a teen who chokes on a couple of aspirins, which causes her to lose her balance and fall on the floor, while her hairdryer goes flying into the full tub. Added to the confusion is the fact that she had written minutes before that she just wanted to die.
