Doctor Who
August 1, 2008

Looks like the 60's studio 54-esque show is moving from Mondays to Fridays! Good some new entertainment is needed to liven up Fridays evenings. Or is this a sign that the ratings are down and they are being shunned to the side to make room for newer shows on Monday night calls? Hmm, only time will tell. Watch tonight as Tom and Trina turn the tables and decide to go monogamous. This won't last long!
Doctor Who? @ 8:30pm
Hail, hail, the gang's all here! Thank goodness the TARDIS is bigger on the inside, as this episode puts the Doctor's modern-day sidekicks at the controls of the space-time vessel that masquerades as an old phone booth. While fans will no doubt relish the sight of so many heroes in a tight spot, this is the fourth-season finale — and season finales are historically bittersweet things for our favorite Time Lord.
FNMTV Premieres...@ 9pm
Remember when you wanted your music television? You're not alone. The net's introduction of MTV2 somehow didn't stem the tide of rumored malaise and longing for truly youthful rawness — and MTV apparently got the message. Their answer? F'NMTV.Hosted by newlywed and soon-to-be dad Pete Wentz, the visually spastic, weekly show unveils artists' brand-new videos and encourages multi-platform audience participation.
Dog Whisperer @ 9pm
Months ago, viewers were given the opportunity to audition their problem pooches in an open casting call with the show's producers in Orange County, California. Thousands of people showed up in hopes of getting a session with Cesar. Tonight's show follows two dogs that were discovered that day, including one Rottweiler who was just one day away from being euthanized. The pup's aggression is so severe that Cesar enlists his 13-year-old Rottie-loving son, Andre, to aid in the rehabilitation process.

Fans of the hot, hot, hot Jonas Brothers won't be disappointed in this long-awaited, song-filled flick set at a summer camp for aspiring singers and musicians. Demi Lovato stars as Mitchie, a novice singer-songwriter who attends Camp Rock when her mom is hired as the cook. There, she meets Shane Gray (Joe Jonas), a spoiled pop star who is at camp to repair his tarnished image and redefine his sound. Romance soon blossoms, of course, but it's threatened by a requisite hurdle or two. It all plays out predictably, but who doesn't love a fairy tale ending? Nick and Kevin Jonas appear in minor roles, but the three do rock out on stage together in one of the movie's many musical highlights.
Daytime Emmy Awards @ 8pm
Regis Philbin has been a loser more than a winner at the Daytime Emmys in recent years (three for 10 since 1999), but tonight's another night and he's up for best talk-show host yet again. Besides, he'll come away a winner no matter what happens in that category since he's also the recipient of this year's Lifetime Achievement Award. The leader in the nominations race is CBS with 56, powered by *The Young and the Restless* (17), *Guiding Light* (13) and *As the World Turns* (12). And PBS is No. 2 with 50, thanks to Elmo, Buster, Wordgirl and Curious George, among others. Cameron Mathison and Sherri Shepherd are the hosts.
Chelsea Lately @ 11:30pm
The hilarious and quick-witted Chelsea Handler takes a unique look at celebrity news, gossip, and pop culture with a roundtable of guests in front of a live studio audience. She also squeezes in plenty of celebrity one-on-ones and comedy pieces from the field to keep viewers laughing. Tonight Chelsea welcomes singer, songwriter and actress Ashanti, who hasn't made a record in five years. Welcome back A!! Will her new record sell like Lil' Wayne??
Doctor Who @ 9pm
It's comforting to see that even in the technology-rich realm of Doctor Who there are people who still read books. Apparently, they still use libraries, too, and while it's quite normal to expect a library to be on the quiet side, the massive facility visited by Donna and the Doctor is silent in a sinister way. Fans eager for a glimpse of the Doctor's future should "book" some time to catch Part 1 of this two-part tale.
Duel @ 9pm
This high stakes game show combines the class quiz show formula with the psychology and bluffing of gambling. Contestants must go head to head to win a big-money jackpot.
