Tonight's first season finale of "The Real Housewives of New York City" (10 p.m. EDT on Bravo) is sure to be a doozy, with Ramona angering the rest of the ladies like never before! Poor Ramona has always stuck out like a stubborn little mule in a pasture of mean-spirited thoroughbreds on this show, with the rest of the housewives offering up a constant flow of surprise over anything they deem inappropriate or uncouth. "I was shocked!" the housewives tell us, but whether they're referring to spousal arguments or jokes about dildos or inadvertent insults or unfinished floors, their efforts to appear classier-than-thou are as transparent as a litchi martini. Why don't you haters stop one-upping each other and just relax? Sometimes you make the life of leisure look so stressful.

Also…

The fourth season of "The Deadliest Catch" premieres at 9 p.m. EDT on Discovery while "Frontline" special "Sick Around the World" chronicles healthcare in England, France and Germany (9 p.m. on PBS, check listings). Then "Independent Lens" documentary "King Corn" profiles the corn industry (10 p.m. on PBS, check listings).
