Catfish: The TV Show continues playing the catfisher to the viewing public’s catfishee
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Tuesday, June 25. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Catfish: The TV Show (MTV, 10 p.m.): MTV’s adaptation of Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman’s 2010 documentary swiftly became the network’s hottest show this past winter—a profile boosted by the Manti T’eo girlfriend hoax and allegations that the show itself is something of a sham. Returning for a second season with its very premise under scrutiny, the hooks our own Myles McNutt into dropping in on the première. Myles aims to find out, once and for all, if Catfish is indeed a compelling television show and not Nev Schulman and Max Joseph pulling the wool over an entire audience’s eyes.
REGULAR COVERAGE
So You Think You Can Dance (Fox, 8 p.m.): Having been properly introduced to America last week, the Top 20 must now dance (dance, damn them!) for a nation’s amusement. Oliver Sava greets each and every performance with stern, sustained Citizen Kane clapping.
TV CLUB CLASSIC
Six Feet Under (1 p.m.): Zachary Quinto stops by to introduce Claire’s art class to some derivative sketching and an intensely early ’00s haircut. John Teti will have his thoughts on “The Eye Inside” once he gets his own asymmetrical Carlos D bangs out of his eyes.
The Office (Classic) (3 p.m.): The staff of Dunder Mifflin leaves the confines of the office for the very first time to attend the eighth-annual Dundies Awards. Noted Chili’s enthusiast Erik Adams is mostly excited about Michael’s choice of venue for the awards—he’s already ordered three Awesome Blossoms to mark the occasion.
