Don't flip to "Pam: Girl on the Loose" expecting to see another one of E!'s usual reality shows, which mostly consist of fame-hungry wannabes that will do anything to keep their faces in the spotlight.

Unlike "Keeping up with the Kardashians," another E! concoction that doesn't run short on entertainment — but does run short on reality — "Girl on the Loose" is hardcore.

Its grainy '70s-style footage adds an artistic feel, and the show itself doesn't look the least bit scripted. But that also means there is a three-and-a-half minute segment where we have to watch Pam Anderson and her limo driver find a way into the airport when the main road is closed off — boring.

BEST SHOW THAT'S UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY

BEST PLACE TO GET A HOME-COOKED MEAL NEAR CAMPUS
Maggiano's Little Italy

Instead of searching for Bigfoot — which they seem to do every week — this week's "MonsterQuest" investigated vampires in America. You know, those people with horrible makeup who've read too many Anne Rice novels. One such "vampire" must've been in her late 40s. Not only did she think she needed to drink blood, but she also felt the urge to wear clothes that didn't fit.

If you are looking for a good home-cooked meal without the forced family fun, Maggiano's Little Italy offers home-style Italian entrees, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. Black-and-white photos are hung sporadically throughout the restaurant and each table is set with a red-and-white tablecloth. The menu is filled with fresh salads, homemade pastas, and delicious desserts.

BEST SHOW TO GET YOUR FIX OF DOCTOR DRAMA
Hopkins

This doctor drama might be losing a bit of steam: There is less death and fewer tear-jerking scenes. The last episode of "Hopkins" seems to have changed its pace. The highlight of this episode was watching the three-way kidney transplant surgery. A wife needed a kidney transplant and the husband wasn't a proper match. They teamed up with two other couples who were in the same situation. Each person had a match, and they all swapped kidneys — oddly romantic.
