6. The Starter's Wife (new)
Debra Messing returns to TV as newly divorcee/actress Molly Kagan who, according to the program descript, "is ready to define herself on her own terms." How did Lifetime let this show slip through its skates? Tonight, Molly gets her very own Hollywood stalker. In some Hollyweird circles, that's a badge of honor. You haven't really made it unless you have obtained at least three restraining orders.
