Jonathan Storm | Putting on summer duds

As cable sports some handsome scripted series, the rest of the season is strewn with the dirty and tattered laundry of reality shows.

Hey Paula premieres Thursday at 10 on Bravo. In the first episode, she has to take the red-eye after the Grammys from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, the black swamp of air travel. Just what frequent fliers are dying to see.

She's here to hawk her collection of cheap jewelry on shopping channel QVC. Along the way, one of her four teeny dogs tries to swallow a ring, and Abdul berates an assistant for packing her black tennis shoes instead of her white ones.

Story continues below.

Hey, Paula, I don't want to marry you.

As June melts into July, there's plenty more where that came from. Burnt-out teen stars Corey Haim and Corey Feldman will stir their ashes on A&E. Geeks make fools of themselves trying to land a role as a superhero on Sci Fi. Lifeguards preen and try to save Court TV (maybe it's the tennis court) from drowning, and if that doesn't help, the network has a troupe of female bounty hunters coming in August.

Skilled at bagging the bad guys, they may find it's a lot tougher to round up viewers.
