There is just a whole mess of reality shows on tonight, including the premiere of another bakery focused reality show set in the Jersey Shore which has to be some kind of Mad-Libs approach to green lighting new reality series. Even the name ("Tough Cookies") sounds like something a comedian came up with while doing a bit about how stupid reality TV has gotten to be in recent days. I'm betting the only reason something about housewives weren't worked in there is because if someone is working in a bakery they're obviously not a housewife. Anyway, that rounds tonight's reality show gauntlet to three set in Jersey, three that have to do with cooking and another four that are shows about famous people being totally famous. There is some overlap but there are also some I didn't touch on. Here's your Sunday night TV:

The Music Room (Criterion) Satyajit Ray’s 1958 masterpiece looks at the life of a fallen aristocrat as a metaphor for an India that is not only becoming Westernized, but modernized technologically and culturally beyond recognition. When the beloved music room, where he has hosted lavish concerts in the past, starts falling into disrepair as attendance drops steadily, the man realizes his way of life is vanishing. Stunningly shot in black & white, one of Ray’s finest works.

Also available on Blu-ray disc. Full screen. Dolby 1.0 mono.
Beauty And The Beast (Criterion) Jean Cocteau’s sublime adaptation of the classic fairy tale become a beloved classic upon its 1946 release, and hasn’t faded since.
