ABC (Mondays, 10 p.m. ET)
REALITY

It has all the right ingredients—11 hot single New Yorkers (including a set of twins), one shared beach house and, of course, a hot tub. Alas, this faux-feeling reality series is so boring, they couldn't even make the introductions sound fun: "John is really funny and a total romantic." Go on! "Lisa's the shy one, but, hello, check out the body." Please. With TV this dull, I'd sooner check out a book from the library.
