FinaleWatch: 'Scott Baio is 46... and Pregnant'
Tonight we got to witness the season finale of Scott Baio is 46… and Pregnant. The season, to this point, was something of a disappointment. It featured some big highs, but, unlike last season, we knew exactly where everything was headed this year.

'Kyle XY' sets up a special mother-daughter reunion
And just like that, with a few well-placed smiles, my aggravation turns to pity for Jessi on the latest Kyle XY. Jessi is just pure Greek tragedy. If she even so much as hopes -- like when she waits to meet her DNA mom Sarah -- you're just waiting for that other shoe to drop.

'Scott Baio is 46... and Pregnant': Life in the fast lane
At this point I can't quite decide whether the formula of Scott Baio is 46… and Pregnant is comforting or distressing. I know that it's, purportedly, a reality show, but the plot points that every single episode follows seem so formulaic.

'My Fair Brady': Bigger and Better

'Kyle XY' slums it with the mediocre humans

'Kyle Xy' bloodies a nose, but not in the cool way
You know, I've been very tolerant of Jessi's antics on Kyle XY since she's obviously the genetic problem child to balance out Kyle's more balanced, moral self, but honestly, if her behavior is the cause of his downfall, I will be very PO'd.

'Kyle XY' finds room in the tub for innuendo
Here it is -- what I've been waiting for on Kyle XY. Ablanda gets pulled into the action and the Tragers' secret to the point where she can no longer be the bland, outsider plot device. There's only so much puppy dog "trust me" stuff she can take from Kyle now that she's seen and (overheard) some pretty incriminating things.
