"Can't Get A Date: Mya"

Mya is a filmmaker and a single mom who no longer wants to be single. And even though she's smart and attractive, she's too shy to approach people she doesn't know. It's a problem compounded by the fact that she already has a man in her life, her eight year-old son, Malakot. Malakot may be small, but he definitely takes up a lot of Mya's time and energy. But Jimmy, her best friend, says that Mya's real problem is that she's self-conscious about her body, and keeps herself covered up and closed off. Mya's film, though, is evidence that she's not too shy to talk about other people's bodies, especially certain parts of masculine anatomy.

(Premieres at 12:00 a.m.)

"The Surreal Life" #605

The Surreal Lifers awake to what they hope will be a laid back day. Alexis, Tawny, and Andrea discuss the finer points of wearing a thong. The paper reveals that the cast will be putting together their own individual talk shows tonight in front of a live audience. Florence has agreed to be one of the guests and Tawny lunges at the chance to expose the "real Florence Henderson" on TV to finally repay her for all the perceived insults she feels she taken from Flo. Sherman retreats to the comfort of being CC's sidekick until Florence challenges him to step up and show everyone how talented he really is. Andrea believes she can win this competition because, after all, she hosts 4 shows on the Playboy channel and CC can't seem to shake the desire to hit the bottle before he hits the stage.

"Hogan Knows Best" #205

Lights! Camera! Hogans! Through Hulk's business savvy, the entire Hogan clan gets cast in a movie -- Little Hercules in 3D. Hulk plays the Greek god Zeus. Nick, now interested in an acting career, plays a leading villain. Linda is a sexy secretary and Brooke performs a song at a high school dance. They're all in the limelight, but things aren't perfect on the set. Brooke attracts attention from an older man and choreographs a risqué dance routine. So Hulk needs to spend more time watching over her than learning his own lines.

"So NoTORious: Accommodating"

Pete's new skanky girlfriend is driving Tori up the wall with her lack of respect for Tori's space. Instead of just talking to Pete about it, Tori's fear of confrontation leads her to shack up first with Janey, then with Sasan and his parents. After these both prove to be undesirable living situations, a homeless Tori reluctantly ends up back at the mansion. Kiki proves less than welcoming, and when Nanny finds out what has been going on, she insists that Tori go home and confront Pete.
