Two awesome Anderson Cooper-hosted seasons, two questionable celebrity editions, and seven years after it originally premiered, ABC’s smart reality show The Mole returns for a third non-celeb season tonight at 10p/9c. Former Extra correspondent Jon Kelley is the franchise’s latest host. Will it be a two-season wonder yet again? Could the third time be the charm for The Mole?
Showtime continues its encore of Weeds season 3 tonight at 9p/8c. Repeat episodes (and the s3 DVD release tomorrow) lead up to the fourth season premiere — in a new location! — two weeks from tonight. Encore episodes also air this week on Showcase (aka Sho3) at 11p/10c.
