If you didn’t see it the first time it aired, I highly recommend Kathy Griffin’s “The D-List,” which airs on Bravo at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday, June 9. I didn’t have much use for Griffin prior to this special, but watching her wallow so energetically in her has-been status is good for many, many laughs. There’s something special about a comedienne with absolutely nothing to lose.
There’s also something special about watching Bravo’s continuing evolution into the equivalent of E! for people who read. It is to E! what Entertainment Weekly is to Us Weekly. Upmarket trash that smirks instead of gushes. It’s nothing to be proud of enjoying, but it does induce a little less shame.
