Tonight ABC Family offers up the romantic comedy, My Fake Fiance. Here’s the lowdown, two broke wedding guests (Joey Lawrence and Melissa Joan Hart), conspire to fake their own engagement and split the wedding gifts… despite the fact that they don’t actually like each other! Here comes the spoiler alert… then they fall in love!

Ok, so maybe it’s predictable, but hey, it could happen! I mean Joey did look pretty hot on Dancing With the Stars after all! Like, Whoa!

Expect lots of balls, pills and porn jokes from FOX’s new animated series, Sit Down Shut Up, brought to you by some of the minds behind The Simpsons and Arrested Development. A great cast of voices, including Will Arnett, Kristin Chenoweth, and SNL alums, Cheri Oteri, Will Forte and Kenan Thompson, bring life to the cartoon about a high school and it’s dysfunctional faculty members. Special mention about the characters, keep an ear out for the Fonz himself, Henry Winkler, playing Willard Deutschebog. Hee hee! They said Deutschebog.
