TV Reviews: Scoring an impressive titling trifecta that includes "Sex," "Sin" and "Scandal," this Lifetime movie simply doesn't live down to its sleaze-mongering name. Shot in New Mexico for what looks like jackpots off penny slots, the fact-based story as depicted isn't trashy enough to qualify as a guilty pleasure, other than perhaps admiring the micro-miniskirts the costume department appears to spray-paint on Mena Suvari. The networks sure don't make 'em like this anymore, but it ADDED: "Sex & Lies"// does evoke nostalgia for TV-movie fare like "Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?"

TV Reviews: A reality competition series offering a job at a fashion magazine? Seriously? What, was half-interest in a buggy-whip factory unavailable? Still, if casting is half the battle in the unscripted universe, this mix of "Project Runway" and "The Apprentice: Devil Wears Prada Edition" benefits from its choice of drama-queen contenders.

TV Reviews: The great thing about ???The Simpsons??? is the freedom to stop watching for, oh, three or four years and return to find everything exactly where you left it.
