FRANKLIN & BASH
TNT, 9:00 p.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: I wouldn’t normally recommend this series for a Best Bet, but there’s a little bit of TV history going on tonight. For its Season 3 premiere, Heather Locklear joins the cast – a move aimed at rejuvenating this show just as when she jump-started the original Melrose Place decades ago (and, more recently, tried to again, with the remake). On Franklin & Bash, she plays an attorney who’s the new boss of Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar). In the premiere, she joins them on the set of Piers Morgan’s CNN show (yes, he plays himself here), for a legal debate about nudity. Hope the Piers Morgan Tonight staff is well stocked with Purell for those chairs…
