TOM'S TOTALLY TWISTED TV TRIVIA THINGY Which of the following 1980s B-movies features 2 "Boston Legal" actors, as well, as cast members from "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers & Sisters"? A) "Bad Influence" B) "Dream Lover" C) "Pacific Heights" D) "Sleeping with the Enemy" E) "White Palace" The correct answer will be seeing you in all the old familiar places on Monday. --- 7 p.m. Is it ever not Fashion Week in New York? A repeat of "LAGERFELD CONFIDENTIAL" (Sundance) hopes to make it work. 8 p.m. Bumbling spy Obama tries to convince the captain that it would be awesome to BuyMore on "BARACK" (NBC). Susan and Mike argue over something inconsequential on "DESPERATE WHITEHOUSEGUYS" (ABC) Penny can't pay the rent, while Ted and Robin decide whether or not to do it on THE BIG BUCKS THEORY (CBS) and "HOW I STIMULATED YOUR PACKAGE" (CBS). A cranky white guy and his team offer six reasons why the diagnosis is incorrect on "WHITE HOUSE" (Fox). Labradoodle fight Dogue de Bordeaux in a steel cage match on night one of the "133RD WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB DOG SHOW" (USA). The dance band is nowhere in sight on "TITANIC: HOW IT REALLY SANK" (National Geographic). Though Rush Limbaugh guest stars as the Iceberg. 9 p.m. Once again, the President "don't" know Jack on "24" (Fox). Yes, President Obama's speech is the opening act for "THE ASSASSINATION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN" (PBS). Don't get any ideas, Mr. Liddy. "HEROES" (NBC) escape (naturally); Parkman is now painting the potential storyline conclusions; and Sylar gets a sidekick. Seriously, he's got a movie career now. Kill Sylar, please? "TWO AND A HALF MEN" (CBS) get couples counseling. Mary J. Blige, Tyler Perry, Judith Jamison, Magic Johnson, B. Smith and Representative James E. Clyburn receive "THE BET HONORS" (BET), sorta the Kanye West equivalent of the Kennedy Center Honors. 9:30 p.m. PRETEND IT'S SWEEPS Christine Baranksi guests as Leonard's mother on "THE BIG BANG THEORY" (CBS). 10 p.m. "ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS" (Travel) commits food porn." Maybe he can borrow Katy Perry's banana from Grammy night. TALK SHOW DEATHMATCH Dave shines with Naomi Watts and reveals who's on the cover of the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue; Jay goes mental with Simon Baker, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, and Duffy; Craig would walk a mile for Michael Clarke Duncan and Adele; Conan takes his hat off for Clive Owen and Judah Friedlander; and "The Colbert Report" watches TV on the Radio. TONIGHT'S WINNER: A lackluster bunch once again, but the SI reveal tips it to Dave. QUESTIONABLE ANSWERS "Milk" (and "W.") co-star Josh Brolin starred on NBC as "Mr. Sterling." Which other series has a cast member up for an Academy Award in the major acting categories? "Six Feet Under's" Richard Jenkins is one of the "just nice to be nominated" actors this year (opposite Penn, Pitt and Rourke) for "The Visitor." --- But the conversation has just begun, add your own suggestions or discuss mine on the "TV or Not TV" Google list or at tvornottv.net.
