ON TV
If you missed last week's "30 Days" on FX, make room in your schedule to catch tonight's second documentary at 7.
This is original TV to say the least. The documentaries follow Morgan Spurlock of "Super Size Me" fame as he takes month-long looks at various aspects of life. Last week, he and his fiancee spent a month trying to live on minimum wage. Tonight, the series follows a 35-year-old former high school athlete as he tries a get-fit-quick scheme.
