CAN an ex-girlfriend or boyfriend become just a good friend? Date My Ex on Wednesdays at 6 P.M. on AXN is a dating show that answers the question, "Can exes be friends?" The series follows Jo De La Rosa as she looks for love and adventure in Los Angeles where she has moved to pursue a singing career. But as Jo’s suitors will find out, you don’t get her without former boyfriend Slade! In each episode, Jo goes on a series of dates. But the men must all live up to the standards of Slade, who is now her closest confidante. Slade grills them to find out which one seems most suitable for his ex girlfriend. The show tries to find whether Jo will be able to break from Slade completely and find love again and whether Slade have Jo’s best interests in mind, or will he want to get rid of the person who poses a legitimate threat.

Showstopper

It is touted as the most watched show ever in the history of television. And that’s no exaggeration considering it has over 1.1 billion viewers around the globe. Baywatch every Friday to Sunday at 11 P.M. on Star World has a cult following, thanks to its glamour quotient that includes the likes of Pamela Anderson and Erika Eleniak. Set against the lush backdrop of Southern Californian coastline (and later Hawaii), Baywatch traces the adventures and diverse lifestyles of a group of lifeguards, both on and off the beach. Everything from earthquakes to shark attacks to serial killers and even nuclear bombs have served as plot conflicts on the show. The trademark of the show are the slow motion shots of stars like Pamela, Erika, Aldo Yasmeen Bleeth and Alexandra Paul as they dash for a rescue mission. Over the years critics have given the series a number of uncharitable names like Babewatch, Bumwatch and Brawatch but its makers say that though beach goddesses are an important part of Baywatch, this is not a Peeping Tom kind of a show. "If it was, we wouldn’t have half the world watching it!" — NF
