When It Comes To Weight Loss Surgery, You Have Options. When It Comes To Helping You Choose, And Information. We Give You Options f Grim scary tales Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior gloomily chases psychos TV by DEAN ROBBINS In the spin-off Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior (Wednesday, 10 p.m., CBS), an elite team of FBI agents use unlikely behavioral analysis to catch unlikely psychopaths. Forest Whitaker sets the tone as team leader Sam Cooper: grim determination. So grim that it makes the original Criminal Minds look like a salsa dance-off. Would it kill Suspect Behavior to vary this tone every once in a while? Couldn’t they, say, throw in some humor? Or rage? Or personality? “Let’s not indulge our anger here,” Sam Village Surgical Associates Has Been Named An American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence says in his eternally hushed voice, as the weekly psycho runs rampant. No, please, be our guest — indulge your anger! Million Dollar Listing Thursday, 9 pm (Bravo) In this reality series, three real estate agents deal with high-end properties in Los Angeles. Two of the agents are blandly normal, but the third one makes Million Dollar Listing queasily enjoyable. He’s Josh Altman, a shark with a greasy manner to match his greasy hair. Josh is a salesman extraordinaire, or so he keeps telling us. “It’s what I was put on this Earth to do!” he bleats. “The high of the deal — that’s what keeps me going every day!” You certainly don’t doubt Josh’s passion for manipulating others to line his own pockets. He even hires an assistant to stoke his ego, instructing him to en- gage in a call-and-response chant. “Who’s gonna sell this house today?” “You’re gonna sell this house today!” Josh begins each morning by kissing his dogs before he goes to work. You get the impression that they’re the only ones who’ll put up with him — and I bet even they’re likely to bolt before the season finale.

Stafford-Johnson fell in love with Broken Tail from the day he was born in India’s Ranthambhore tiger pre- serve, following him for over two years. “Broken Tail was just special,” he says. “He was adventurous, exuberant, full of life, charismatic, arrogant and totally fearless ... I knew him as well as I knew my own daughter.” Stafford-Johnson expected Broken Tail to grow up and dominate the area, but instead he disap- peared one day, never to return. Where most of us would just move on with our lives, Stafford-Johnson set off on a 150-mile journey on foot to figure out what happened to Broken Tail. You can’t help but admire his dedication to this ravenous beast. One can just imagine how the conversation would go if they ever did see each other again. Stafford-Johnson: “Darling!” Broken Tail: “Dinner!” Skins Monday, 10 pm (MTV) MTV’s drama about high school kids has gotten attention for its raunchy scenes featuring underage actors. You can see why the network decided to pour on the sex, alcohol and drugs, because without those elements the production would warrant no attention at all. For all its attempts to show what high school is really like, Skins is nothing more than your basic nobody-understands-me teenage melodrama. It features stagy acting, loads of sentimentality, and dia- logue that would never come out of a real teenager’s mouth. The only time Skins comes to life is in the montages. It’s no surprise that MTV would get such mini-music videos right, with cool songs and snappy edit- ing. Tune in for these parts and fast-forward through the parts where the char- acters make ill-advised attempts to talk to one another. WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM
