ONETIME 'ANIMAL HOUSE' MAN MATHESON PLAYS DAD TO A TROUBLED TEEN IN 'AUGUSTA'

MONDAY

9-11PM Augusta, Gone (Lifetime, TV-14-L) Watching out-of-control teen Augusta (Mika Boorem) lash out at her long-suffering parents (Tim Matheson and Sharon Lawrence, pictured, with Boorem at right) is disheartening at best. Even after she's packed off to a tough-love camp (having dabbled in drugs, alcohol, and crime at 14), Augusta would rather be homeless than follow rules. Lawrence is all frustration and tenacity as she fights for her daughter, but this movie (inspired by actual events) offers only a breezy look at the road to recovery. B- —Abby West

7-7:30PM E! News (E!) With Ryan Seacrest's new gig as E! News anchor, it's scientifically proven that you will see his face more than you do your own. Unless, like Ryan, you tend to look in the mirror a lot.
