			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tough choices will have to be made tonight thanks to the fact that for the first time in a while, all five of the main networks have original programming on at both 8PM and 9PM. Here&#8217;s the breakdown of who’s showing what:</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>WHAT WE&#8217;RE WATCHING:</strong></font><br />
<strong>GOSSIP GIRL</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM CW, A Channel in Canada)</font><br />
As Blair once again proves why she’ll never be the teacher’s pet, Chuck wakes up in a hotel room with no memory of the previous night’s events. Who does he call for help in piecing things together? Why, Nate and Vanessa, of course. It ain’t like they’ve got anything else to do like, say, take part in a plot that revolves around them.</p>
<p><strong>THE BIG BANG THEORY</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM CBS, CTV in Canada)</font><br />
Life lesson Penny really should have learned by now: When times get help, don’t turn to Sheldon. He can only make matters worse.</p>
<p><strong>CHUCK</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM NBC, CityTV in Canada)</font><br />
Are we watching? Absolutely. Are we bitter that this TV Addict&#8217;s Canadian Broadcaster CityTV completely dropped the ball by failing to ensure 3D glasses were available to Canadian CHUCK fans? You betcha!</p>
<p><strong>HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER</strong> <font color="#666666">(8:30PM CBS, E! in Canada)</font><br />
The clock is ticking down for Robin, who has to get a job or be sent packing. Fortunately, Barney is willing to lend a helping hand&#8230; and surely nothing could go wrong with that scenario, right?</p>
<p><strong>24</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM FOX, Global in Canada)</font><br />
Dubaku sets his sights on sending another powerful message as Jack and his band of misfits try to prevent things from getting any worse. All we wanna know is when Janis and Chloe will finally cross paths. Let’s face it… that’s where the <em>real</em> suspense lies!</p>
<p><strong>HEROES</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM NBC, 10PM Global in Canada)</font><br />
<em>This</em> cycle is gonna be great! No, seriously, they promise! Sure, they said that about Villains, but if you just give ’em one more chance… yeah, um, we&#8217;re going to give this show one more shot. And only because DAMAGES&#8217; Zeljko Ivanek is guest starring.</p>
<p><span id="more-4859"></span><br />
<font color="#ff6600"><strong>NEW &amp; NOTABLE:</strong></font><br />
<strong>THE BACHELOR</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM ABC)</font><br />
I’m amazed that ABC is continuing to push two hours of this a week, but hey, it makes for a nice block of programming that I don&#8217;t have to tape each week. For those watching, the five remaining gals head to Jason’s hometown, Seattle for a series of dates that will no doubt end with making out. Catty things will be said. Roses will be handed out. Someone will be disappointed. And in the end, we’ll all feel a little dirtier.</p>
<p><strong>ONE TREE HILL</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM CW, SunTV in Canada)</font><br />
Okay, yes, I was wrong in predicting that Lucas would wind up in the director’s chair where his movie is concerned. (Although I’ll bet my entire financial portfolio — comprised mainly of Lehman Brothers stock — that he’ll end up there before this film is done!)</p>
<p><strong>TWO AND A HALF MEN</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM ABC)</font><br />
Tonight’s biggest mystery? What the hilarious title — “David Copperfield Slipped Me A Roofie” — has to do with the plot, which finds Alan moving in with her and her mom.</p>
<p><strong>KYLE XY</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM ABC Family)</font><br />
After a few drinks, Kyle starts showing off his abilities in a way too public way. In other plot developments… oh, who cares. The show’s been cancelled, and I’ll bet it’ll end with a cliffhanger.</p>
<p><strong>WORST WEEK</strong> <font color="#666666">(9:30PM CBS)</font><br />
Show &amp; Tell could get a whole lot more interesting when Sam and Mel’s nephew snaps a pic of them making the beast with two backs&#8230; and plans on sharing it with is class.</p>
<p><strong>TRUE BEAUTY</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM ABC)</font><br />
Confession time: The thought of pretty people forced to rough it amuses me.</p>
<p><strong>CSI: MIAMI</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM CBS)</font><br />
Khandi Alexander’s Alexx returns when members of her former team are placed on a killer’s hit list.</p>
<p><strong>MEDIUM</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM NBC)</font><br />
It’s rare that a show gets into its fifth season without me having checked it out, but I’ll confess to having no interest whatsoever. For one thing, the episode descriptions often annoy me. For example, tonight’s says, “Allison’s insights about her friend’s former husband and current spouse take the case in unforeseen directions.” Okay, the chick is a medium. It says so right there in the title. So how can there be unforeseen anything? I’m just sayin’.</p>

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (11:30PM NBC, Global in Canada)
Taking a break from over 202 plays on our iPhone, Jason Mraz stops by SNL with Steve Martin returning for his 15th time as host.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>WHAT WE&#8217;RE WATCHING:</strong></font><br />
<strong>SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE</strong> <font color="#666666">(11:30PM NBC, Global in Canada)</font><br />
Taking a break from over 202 plays on our iPhone, Jason Mraz stops by SNL with Steve Martin returning for his 15th time as host.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>NEW &#038; NOTABLE:</strong></font><br />
<strong>ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM ABC)</font><br />
Like many Will Ferrell flicks, you&#8217;ll either love this or hate it. Oddly, I find this edited version a lot more palatable than the original.</p>
<p><strong>CRUSOE</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM ABC)</font><br />
They&#8217;re calling this a &#8220;first-season finale&#8221;, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and call it a series finale. </p>
<p><strong>SUPER BOWL&#8217;S GREATEST COMMERCIALS </strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM CBS)</font><br />
For some of us, commercials are the best part of the big game. So it can’t be too surprising that someone was smart enough to package the best of the best like this. But the program <i>does</i> create a major dilemma for those of us who usually go to the bathroom during commercial breaks. I mean, the show is commercials buffeted by commercials!</p>
<p><span id="more-4853"></span><br />
<strong> FAB 5: THE TEXAS CHEERLEADER SCANDAL </strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM Lifetime)</font><br />
A teacher takes on a bunch of rich, spoiled cheerleaders who don’t play by… what kind of rules? Why, their own of course! The only thing that could make this better is if it were based on a… no! This was ripped from the headlines? Get the popcorn, stat!</p>
<p><strong> TREASURE HUNTER: KIRSTEN GUM </strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM Travel)</font><br />
One of the focuses tonight is on searching for sea glass. Like the movie ANCHORMAN, people either love this pasttime or think it’s a huge waste of time. Me? I could spend all day strolling the beach looking for bits of trash polished to a shiny perfection by the push and pull of the ocean&#8217;s tides.</p>
<p><strong> WYVERN </strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM Sci Fi)</font><br />
Sarah Palin menaces an Alaskan town. I’m sorry, what’s that? Oh… my bad. It’s a <i>dragon</i>, not a would-be dragon lady!</p>
<p><strong> 48 HOURS </strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM CBS)</font><br />
Two men. One woman. It’s not uncommon for love triangles such as the one examined tonight to end with someone dead. But it <i>is</> kinda unusuall for all three of them to wind up dead!</p>
<p><strong> THE YONGE &#038; THE RESTLESS </strong> <font color="#666666">(11PM SOAPnet)</font><br />
Let’s face it: We didn’t care when Brad babbled endlessly about the Grugeon Reliquary, or when he became an instajew (complete with a baklava baking mama) or, well, about pretty much any of the stories he was saddled with over the past couple years. But in recent weeks, he’d finally gotten back his mojo. We loved Brad’s battle with Victor, not to mention the fact that he got the best of Phyllis (not an easy thing to do) with that whole “whoops, guess my cell phone was on and your hubby heard everything” move. So yeah, we’re gonna miss Brad — and his longtime portrayer, Don Diamont. But at least Brad gets to go out like a hero! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>WHAT WE&#8217;RE WATCHING:</strong></font><br />
<strong>FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM NBC, GlobalTV in Canada)</font><br />
One of the things we’ve always loved about this show is the sense one gets that these are, for the most part, real people in the real world. Tonight’s a great example, as Smash worries how his mom is going to pay for college. Maybe they should hang out with Billy and Tim, who are cooking up a money-making scheme. For that matter, maybe <i>we</i>should hook up with them. A little extra cash never hurt anyone… right, Mr. Madoff?</p>
<p><strong>BATTLESTAR GALACTICA</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM Sci Fi, Space in Canada)</font><br />
Or as we&#8217;re calling tonight&#8217;s installment, <i>Valkyrie</i> in Space <a href="http://thetvaddict.com/2009/01/30/ask-the-addict-battlestar-galactica-house-spoilers-chuck-3d-and-more/">[Click here for spoilers]</a></p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>NEW &#038; NOTABLE:</strong></font><br />
<strong>WIFE SWAP</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM ABC)</font><br />
A fast food-lovin&#8217; mom switches places with a woman who is big on healthy living. Can&#8217;t we all just get along? </p>
<p><strong>HOWIE DO IT</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM NBC, Global in Canada)</font><br />
A woman invites her loved ones to watch as she marries a stranger on a television show. Wait, are they trying to repackage WHO WANTS TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE? You can’t fool us! </p>
<p><span id="more-4849"></span><br />
<strong>ALL MY CHILDREN</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM SOAPnet)</font><br />
Zach and Kendall have a long-awaited romantic reunion… which will probably go sour the second she finds out her sister had his baby. &#8216;Cause seriously, this couple can <i>not</i> catch a break.</p>
<p><strong>EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM CW)</font><br />
Can Chris really already be taking college entrance exams? Time flies when you’re having fun! Meanwhile, Julius — always looking for a bargain — finds out there’s no such thing as a free lunch (or anything else) after winning a television.</p>
<p><strong>13: FEAR IS REAL</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM CW)</font><br />
What would horror flicks be without students to kill off? Tonight, the contest moves to a high school, while the killer is revealed and discusses the difficulty of his or her new double life.</p>
<p><strong>20/20</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM ABC)</font><br />
Tonight’s episode focuses on “the science of physical attraction.” Okay, let me save you a whole lot of time (or at least an hour): Pretty attracts pretty. Pretty attracts ugly. Ugly rarely attracts pretty. Ugly only wants pretty. Ugly winds up bitter. Moving on…</p>
<p><strong>BARE ESSENTIALS</strong> <font color="#666666">(11PM QVC)</font><br />
Okay, for about two seconds I got majorly excited, thinking someone was <i>finally</> rerunning the series BARE ESSENCE, starring Genie Francis (ex-Laura, GENERAL HOSPITAL), Jessica Walter and Wendy Fulton as Muffin. But, sadly, no. It&#8217;s, um, people selling facial products or something. You almost had me, QVC. <i>Almost!</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>WHAT WE&#8217;RE WATCHING:</strong></font><br />
<strong>PRIVATE PRACTICE</strong> <font color="#666666">(10:02PM ABC)</font><br />
Now that SWINGTOWN is officially dead (as opposed to all those months when it was unofficial dead), Grant Show is free to join the cast as Addison’s brother, Archer.</p>
<p><strong>SUPERNATURAL</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM CW, CityTV in Canada)</font><br />
Think hell is tough? That’s nothing compared to high school, as Sam and Dean find out while investigating a series of murders at their alma mater. How can you not love an episode titled “After School Special?”</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>NEW &amp; NOTABLE:</strong></font><br />
<strong>UGLY BETTY</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM ABC, CityTV in Canada)</font><br />
Endless reruns like this. Extended hiatus. Yeah, ABC isn&#8217;t trying <em>too</em> hard to kill off Betty and company.</p>
<p><strong>SMALLVILLE</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM CW)</font><br />
Ever wonder how the economic recession is impacting LutherCorp? I mean, they have a heck of a lot of ”secret facilities”, all of which have to be major cash drains, right? Anyway, tonight, Tess breaks into one such facility and makes a shocking discovery while Clarke learns Lex is still be alive… and may be holding Lana captive. He also gets a bit of insight into Lana’s post-coma life.</p>
<p><strong>AMERICAN IDOL</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM FOX, CTV in Canada)</font><br />
The bad news: Still more auditions. The good news: After this, it&#8217;s on to Hollywood week!</p>
<p><span id="more-4813"></span><br />
<strong>DRAGON&#8217;S DEN</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM BBC America)</font><br />
For those who miss AMERICAN INVENTOR — Anyone? Bueller? — comes this British outing in which would-be entrepreneurs try and sell a panel of rich folks on the marketability of their ideas.</p>
<p><strong>HOW STUFF WORKS</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM Discover)</font><br />
Okay, tonight’s episode focuses on salt, which seems kinda unnecessary. I mean, who doesn&#8217;t know how salt works? Step one: sprinkle it on anything. Step two: eat. Step three: Yum!</p>
<p><strong>KATH &amp; KIM</strong> <font color="#666666">(8:30PM NBC, E! in Canada)</font><br />
Stress pushes Kath to the breaking point, so Phil loans her his life coach (played by SNL’s Maya Rudolph).</p>
<p><strong>GREY&#8217;S ANATOMY</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM ABC)</font><br />
Those of us who loved Erica will either be glad to see her in this rerun… or annoyed at the reminder of how badly she was treated.</p>
<p><strong>HELL&#8217;S KITCHEN</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM FOX)</font><br />
The fifth season of this competition &#8212; which is more about who can survive foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay&#8217;s tirades than anything &#8212; kicks off. For an exclusive interview with Ji Cha, one of the 16 contestants competing for a chance to become executive chef of a restaurant within Atlantic City’s Borgata hotel (the closest thing AC has to Vegas), <a href="http://thetvaddict.com/2009/01/29/ji-whiz-chef-says-%e2%80%9cto-hell%e2%80%99s-kitchen-with-it%e2%80%9d/">click here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>THE OFFICE</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM NBC)</font><br />
As much as we hate Michael-centric episodes (seriously, he is ruining this show!), we’ll admit to having loved his all-too-brief fling with Holly, who is featured in tonight’s rerun.</p>
<p><strong>101 MORE THINGS REMOVED FROM THE HUMAN BODY</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM The Learning Channel)</font><br />
We suspect a lot of viewers will cringe and utter “Dude, that’s nasty!” as this show offers up details — and visuals — of… well, the title pretty much sums it up.</p>
<p><strong>ELEVENTH HOUR</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM CBS)</font><br />
The team investigates a dead millionaire who, when told to have a heart, could have replied, “No thanks… I’ve already got two!”</p>
<p><strong>THE BEAST</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM A&amp;E)</font><br />
As Barker tires to bust a group of Romanian’s who deal in human-trafficking, Ellis befriends a hooker whose son was sold by the gang. Whatcha wanna bet she’s got a heart of gold?</p>

<p><span id="more-4842"></span><br />
Buzz wrapped up her stay at TCA by offering up some awards for the best, worst, and most awkward moments from her time in LA. (<a href="http://www.buzzsugar.com/2713801">BuzzSugar</a>)</p>

So who’s been attacking the survivors? Locke gets a clue as to their identity. Meanwhile, Desmond tries to find the woman who might help that damn island stop hop-scotching through time.

<strong>LOST</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM ABC, &#8220;A&#8221; in Canada)</font><br />
So who’s been attacking the survivors? Locke gets a clue as to their identity. Meanwhile, Desmond tries to find the woman who might help that damn island stop hop-scotching through time. </p>
<p><strong>LIE TO ME</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM FOX, Global in Canada)</font><br />
Is a female soldier’s charge that she was raped by her sergeant truth or fiction? I’m going with truth, because this show doesn’t really seem deep enough to deal with the consequences of a woman falsely crying rape. But I&#8217;ve been wrong before. Once. </p>
<p><strong>LIFE ON MARS</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM ABC, Global in Canada)</font><br />
Here’s hoping a post-LOST slot will give this show a much-deserved boost. Tonight, a battle breaks out between two rival cops and Sam is drawn to a pretty young social worker. Dude, don’t you have enough on your plate what with NoNuts and that hippie neighbor and even the occasional awkward moments shared with your hot mom-who-doesn&#8217;t-know-you&#8217;re-her-son?</p>
<p><strong>DAMAGES</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM FX)</font><br />
Ellen and Tom take a road trip which might provide some answers about that mysterious Ultima National Resources. Back home, Patty works to clear Daniel, who may be one of the most uncooperative and mean clients ever! </p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>NEW &amp; NOTABLE:</strong></font><br />
<strong>CBS EVENING NEWS</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM CBS)</font><br />
Apparently, the networks are just plain giving up. First, NBC gives the 10 p.m. slot to Jay Leno. Now, CBS dedicates 30-minutes of primetime to Katie Couric’s recapping the days events. You know, like she did a couple hours earlier on, um, the CBS EVENING NEWS. She’d better hope something really good — read: bad — happens. (Not for nothing, but if CBS was going to basically throw away this hour, why not do it against the new episode of LOST airing at 9 p.m. instead of the rerun airing in this slot?)</p>
<p><span id="more-4841"></span><br />
<strong>AMERICAN IDOL</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM FOX, CTV in Canada)</font><br />
Jesus, we’re not even to Hollywood week yet? There’s milking the cow and then there’s pulling its udders off and forcing us to chew them in an attempt to suckle some rancid milk out of them.</p>
<p><strong>KNIGHT RIDER</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM NBC, E! in Canada)</font><br />
After a group of bank robbers take Mike hostage, he tries to play the hero. But his efforts are hampered by &#8220;twists, turns and uncertainty about their true motives.” The show’s words, not mine. The day a show about a talking car manages to produce genuine twists and turns that are unforeseen I&#8217;ll stop mocking it. </p>
<p><strong>A VIEW TO A KILL</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM ION)</font><br />
Okay, I wish I knew what the heck this network was let alone where it is on the proverbial dial, &#8217;cause they show some halfway decent flicks, like this Bond caper featuring Grace Jones and Christopher Walken. Too bad (for Ion) I&#8217;m basically lazy at heart and therefore unwilling to search them out.</p>
<p><strong>TOP CHEF</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM Bravo)</font><br />
If you missed last week’s episode, here’s your chance to catch up. The challenge? Two words: Restaurant Wars! </p>
<p><strong>ONE LIFE TO LIVE</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM SOAPnet)</font><br />
Okay, yes, Natalie, Jessica unleashed Tess on you to get revenge for your role in Jared’s death. Get over it! Because while everyone else in Llanview seems to think you’re some great heroine, <i>some</I> of us remember that when first you arrived in town, you were trying to destroy Jessica’s life. Oh, and you were sleeping with her boyfriend, which was an even bigger crime (although kinda understandable) because he was played by Brandon Routh (aka <i>Superman</i>). So maybe, just maybe, you need to lighten up a bit. </p>
<p><strong>LAW &#038; ORDER</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM NBC)</font><br />
Ugh. How often is this show going to go back to the Russian Mob well? This season has been pretty good so far, but in the past, episodes involving the Russians haven&#8217;t been their best. </p>
<p><strong>TOP CHEF</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM BRAVO)</font><br />
Past contestants — including Andrew and Spike from last year and, for some reason, season two’s Josie — return as our current players take on superbowl food.</p>
<p><strong>GENERAL HOSPITAL</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM SOAPNET)</font><br />
That hospital disaster that we’ve spent weeks being braced for? It finally kicks off tonight when Patrick is unable to stop something very, very bad from happening. Port Charles is in for a very, very long day… literally, as the day which began unfolding a week or two ago will continue playing out for the next several weeks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>WHAT WE&#8217;RE WATCHING:</strong></font><br />
<strong>SCRUBS</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM ABC, CityTV in Canada)</font><br />
It’s time to play the music. It’s time to light the lights! It&#8217;s time to meet the Muppets on <strike>The Muppet Show</strike> SCRUBS tonight!</p>
<p><strong>FRINGE</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM FOX, CTV in Canada)</font><br />
Just in time for us to get over last week&#8217;s gruesome giant slugs, tonight&#8217;s installment features a killer who turns his victims&#8217; brains into liquid. Yum.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>NEW &amp; NOTABLE:</strong></font><br />
<strong>TRUE LIES</strong> <font color="#666666">(7PM TNT)</font><br />
Can&#8217;t wait until the DOLLHOUSE&#8217;s February 13th premiere for your Eliza Dushku fix? Check out her big break in one of our all-time favorite James Cameron flicks.</p>
<p><strong>HOMELAND SECURITY USA</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM ABC)</font><br />
A woman goes to major extremes in order to try and look like the picture on her fake ID, and a U.S. citizen is denied entry to Canada. And heck, they&#8217;ll let anybody in!</p>
<p><span id="more-4837"></span><br />
<strong>NCIS</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM CBS, Global in Canada)</font><br />
Apparently, a dead sergeant may have been a very naught boy. And by &#8220;naughty&#8221; we mean treasonous. It’s just that “naughty” sounds more salacious. (As if this wildly popular show needs me  tricking people into watching.)</p>
<p><strong>AMERICAN IDOL</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM NBC, CTV in Canada)</font><br />
Auditions continue. Endlessly.</p>
<p><strong>THE BIGGEST LOSER</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM NBC)</font><br />
Okay, folks, if you want to enjoy the best part of the upcoming Superbowl &#8212; aka the food put out at parties &#8212; don’t watch this episode, in which a chef quizzes the contestant about the calorie count found in treats traditionally put out for the game. He then — are you ready for a laugh? — offers up healthier alternatives. Yeah, right!</p>
<p><strong>LAST RESTAURANT STANDING</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM BBC AMERICA)</font><br />
Every year, Restaurant Wars is one of the most highly-anticipated challenges on the Food Network’s TOP CHEF. For those eagerly awaiting that episode (which airs tomorrow night), check out this BBC offering, which tonight kicks off its second season as nine couples compete for the chance to open their own restaurant.</p>
<p><strong>ONE LIFE TO LIVE</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM SOAPnet)</font><br />
Forget Showtime’s wildly uneven and surprisingly awful THE UNITED STATES OF TARA. Who needs that when this soap has been dealing with alternate personalities — and doing so in a way that, by comparison, is far more realistic — for decades. Tonight, Bess (the &#8220;gatekeeper&#8221; in charge of the alters) tries to keep Tess (the wild child) under control. Based on past experience, all we can say is, “Good luck with that, Bess.”</p>
<p><strong>WHAT WOULD YOU DO</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM ABC)</font><br />
Let me give you the scenarios and my answers to the titular question. Someone steals household items during an open-house (I&#8217;d stop them on the way out and publicly humiliate them); an old man gets behind the wheel of the car (take away the keys and then sit in the seat making engine sounds to convince him we were going somewhere); two men crash a wedding (chances are, I&#8217;d be one of them).</p>
<p><strong>WITHOUT A TRACE</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM CBS)</font><br />
The search for Elena’s former partner leaves her thinking about past mistakes. You know, this series has a completely misleading title, &#8217;cause if the victims had <em>really</em> disappeared without a trace, the team wouldn&#8217;t be able to find them and the show would be canceled.</p>
<p><strong>THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM Bravo)</font><br />
Former housewife Kimberly gets a visit from Vicki and Jenna, but the real fun is probably being had at Lynne’s place, &#8217;cause she’s throwing a cocktail party.</p>
<p><strong>TODDLERS &amp; TIARAS</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM The Learning Channel)</font><br />
This series, premiering tonight, follows child beauty pageants. I guess it’s on The Learning Channel so you can learn that enrolling your kids in these kinds of things is nine kindsa wrong. (As is the fact that this is sure to be such a trainwreck, I’m totally tuning in.)</p>

<strong>HOUSE</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM FOX, Global in Canada)</font><br />
Cuddy’s busy babysitting, so Cameron winds up supervising House, who is dealing with a very nice patient. In the way only House can, he thinks that maybe nice ain’t such a good thing. </p>
<p><strong>24</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM FOX, Global in Canada)</font><br />
Jack has a bold plan to set things right. Can you imagine if just once, he had a kinda bland plan that involved not torture or subterfuge, but sitting down over a bucket of KFC. Maybe I&#8217;m just hungry. In other news, President Taylor has to decide whether or not her administration is going to negotiate with terrorists. </p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>NEW &amp; NOTABLE:</strong></font><br />
<strong>THE BACHELOR</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM ABC)</font><br />
Synergy alert! Six of the remaining nine ladies &#8212; and I use the term loosely &#8212; join the title stud on a trip to the set of GENERAL HOSPITAL, where they hang with that show’s Bradford Anderson (cybergeek Spinelli) and Kirsten Storms (mouthy Maxie). Give as this is the set of daytime’s most violent show, the gals might wanna don bulletproof vests.</p>
<p><span id="more-4833"></span><br />
<strong>SUPERSTARS OF DANCE</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM NBC)</font><br />
SUPERSTARS OF DANCE (8 p.m., NBC)<br />
The winner is announced. Yawn. (I wanted to like this show, but it ain’t no SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Or even a pale substitute.) </p>
<p><strong>THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM ABC Family)</font><br />
It&#8217;s a busy week as Ricky has a chat with Grace’s parents, Amy has to decide whether or not to find out the sex of her baby, and Jack thinks he may have seen Bob doing something he shouldn’t.</p>
<p><strong>THE LAST TEMPLAR</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM NBC)</font><br />
The mini-series &#8212; starring Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino (words that still inspire giggles within me) &#8212; concludes as her alter ego searches for answers regarding a reliquary and the mystery-shrouded order of knights.</p>
<p><strong>BROMANCE</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM MTV)</font><br />
Brody tricks the guys into appearing in public wearing pants that are too tight. Seriously? Is this really what passes for entertainment these days? MTV needs to hang its head in shame.</p>
<p><strong>KYLE XY</strong> <font color="#666666">(9PM ABC Family)</font><br />
Jessi learns there’s no such thing as a free lunch when, after moving in with the Tragers, she’s recruited by Kyle to help solve Amanda’s latest woes.</p>
<p><strong>TRUE BEAUTY</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM ABC)</font><br />
A photo shoot pairs the beauties with senior citizens to see which of the contestants knows what it means to respect their elders. This won’t be pretty. </p>
<p><strong>DAYS OF OUR LIVES</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM NBC)</font><br />
Bo has a disturbing vision about his wife. Now that John and Marlena have been tossed aside as casually as yesterday&#8217;s newspaper, I&#8217;m having some disturbing visions of my own&#8230; and they all involve this show’s future.</p>

<strong>THE SIMPSONS</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM FOX, Global in Canada)</font><br />
In her twentieth year on television, Lisa Simpson continues her remarkable streak of making <em>really</em> cool friends. This week&#8217;s &#8220;BFF&#8221;: Special guest voice Emily Blunt (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA)</p>
<p><strong>UNITED STATES OF TARA</strong> <font color="#666666">(10PM Showtime)</font><br />
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Alum Alert! Tony Hale plays Marshall&#8217;s English teacher who brings out the Martha Stewart side of Tara&#8217;s personality.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>NEW &amp; NOTABLE:</strong></font><br />
<strong>THE LAST TEMPLAR</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM NBC)</font><br />
In deciding whether or not to tune into the first part of tonight&#8217;s four hour NBC miniseries, here is all you really need to know. The producers behind this derivative DA VINVI CODE rip-off are also responsible for last year&#8217;s Sci Fi bomb FLASH GORDON.</p>
<p><strong>GOLDFINGER</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM BBC America)</font><br />
Do you expect us to talk? Why no TV Addict reader, we expect you to watch&#8230; one of Bond&#8217;s finest adventures ever.</p>
<p><strong>SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS</strong> <font color="#666666">(8PM TNT &amp; TBS)</font><br />
<a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/tv/tonights_best_tv/0,,7,00.html">EW.com</a> took the words right out of our mouth when they wrote, &#8220;Looking for a good drinking game? Chug every time an actor goes on about how this award means the most because it&#8217;s from actors. You know, not those — blech! — directors or screenwriters.&#8221;</p>
