Housewives aplenty

We already knew that Bravo was cloning its Real Housewives of Orange County format for New Jersey, but now the cable network has sprung a Southern city of spouses on us with Real Housewives of Atlanta, which will get a 30-minute "special preview" July 30. The network has already announced that it's bringing back the housewives of Orange County and New York City next April.

Incoming!

* Greatest American Dog, 7 p.m. Thursday on CBS4 - Twelve dogs and their owners compete in challenges for a grand prize of $250,000.

* Big Brother 10, 7 p.m. Sunday on CBS4 - Everyone get back inside the house! Last one to leave gets $500,000.

* I Love Money, 7 p.m. Sunday on VH1 - Did you really expect the old contestants from Rock of Love, Flavor of Love and I Love New York just to go back to their dull, camera-less lives? No sir. They congregate to compete in challenges, with the grand-prize winner taking home $250,000.

Reality twice removed

"Captain, you've got to help me. I've got a girl in my bunk and my girl- friend just showed up. Can you keep her busy?"

Dialogue from a new video game based on the Discovery Channel reality series Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm. Recently released for Xbox 360 and planned for personal computers, the game is a crab-fishing simulation set in the Bering Sea. Players step into the chairs of real-life captains made famous by the show - Northwestern skipper Sig Hansen gives you advice throughout - and compete for crab while docking at computer-generated versions of Dutch Harbor, Akutan and St. Paul Island.
