Weekend TV: 'Boston EMS,' 'I Am Cait'
Boston EMS
ABC, Saturday, 9 ET/PT
This five-part documentary companion to ABC's Save My Life: Boston Trauma (10 ET/PT) focuses on the city's emergency responders. First up: EMS teams walk the tracks at night following reports someone was hit by a train. Both EMS and Trauma are produced by Terence Wrong, who also did Boston Med and New York Med.
I Am Cait
E!, Sunday, 8 ET/PT
Usually, the best course of action is to avoid most shows on E!, and most any show that purports to give you a "real" view into someone's private life, while mainly really serving simply to turn those lives into celebrity brands. But I Am Cait, which follows Caitlyn Jenner as she begins her new life as a transgender woman, is not your usual reality show — not in terms of the attention it has already received or the positive impact it could potentially have if done well, truthfully and respectfully. Given that this is E!, and given Jenner's family, that's a very risky "if" — but it could be a risk worth taking. At least once.
Stewarts & Hamiltons
E!, Sunday, 9 ET/PT
And then there's this show, which, in its attempt to turn the clans of Rod Stewart and George Hamilton into the next Kardashians, is a prime example of E! doing what it usually does. I'd let it do so without you.
