Someone in the CBS press department is having a very good time today at ABC's expense. The two networks have been embroiled in a legal skirmish over ABC's new reality program "The Glass House," which is, CBS argues, a rip-off of their hit show "Big Brother." CBS even asked for a restraining order to stop the show's June 18 debut, which was denied.
Today, the following press release was issued:
The Bachelorette (8pm, ABC) - Emily and her eight remaining suitors visit Dubrovnik, Croatia, where one man gets to enjoy dinner with Charlotte's Emily Maynard (left) at an ancient fort. On the group date, the men get to enjoy some crossover-synergy sizzle with the screening of a Disney/Pixar film. ABC says Emily makes some "surprising moves" at the rose ceremony.
The Secret Life of the American Teenager (8pm, ABC Family) - Amy and Ricky return from their secret adventure and Grace continues to shut out Adrian.
Bunheads (9pm, ABC Family) - A tragedy puts Fanny and Michelle's lives in chaos, so Michelle reaches out to help Fanny, despite the antagonistic nature of their relationship.
One Nation Under Dog: Stories of Fear, Loss and Betrayal (9pm, HBO) - An examination of the complex relationship between humans and dogs includes a look at people's fears of otherwise domesticated animals, a support group for owners of deceased dogs, and efforts to rescue canines from inhumane treatment at shelters and breeding facilities. And most importantly -- how OUR behavior directly contributes to the misery of many of these dogs.
The Glass House (10pm, ABC) - This is the "Big Brother" ripoff show CBS has sued ABC to block. If you're reading this, it means CBS failed to block it. What's it about? Well, you know "Big Brother?" It's exactly that.
