After each episode of the new body-painting competition series produced and judged by Las Vegan Robin Slonina, you can log on to YouTube to see “Skin Wars: The Naked Truth with Kandee Johnson.”

It’s weird to think that the home of cable TV’s biggest ratings juggernaut is in need of another hit.
With a cast toplined by writer-director George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and John Goodman, it’s the “Ocean’s Eleven” of regular-guys-trying-to-save-priceless-works-of-art-from-Nazis-and-Russians movies. So why isn’t “The Monuments Men” more fun?
Once cable channels discover a successful niche, they’d almost always rather run it into the ground than try something new.
The fall season starts early — with a flashy, sexy bang no less — with the return of “Melrose Place” (9 p.m. Tuesday, KVCW-TV, Channel 33), and I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl.
