Tonight's TV Tips - Wednesday, Aug. 24

Elissa Bass is on vacation in a place with no cable and no Internet. She will return on Aug. 28.

Buried Treasure, 8 p.m., Fox

In this premiere episode, “Antiques Roadshow alums Leigh and Leslie Keno evaluate items they find in people’s homes around the country, then help the owners sell them (if that’s what the owners want).” I have to love that clarification at the end, as if not doing so would suggest that even on the most benign reality shows the hosts are forcing people to part with precious family heirlooms.

Famous Food, 8 p.m., VH1

As part of the cobbled-together Hooverville that comprises a channel that once did things with music, this reality show follows a restaurant with a hook that your food is ineptly prepared by washed-up pseudo-celebrities. 

Restaurant Impossible, 10 p.m., Food

Tonight, this show makes over to an Italian restaurant in Ellington, Connecticut. There’s even a Patch article on it, ?
