TOM'S TWISTED TOTALLY TRIVIAL TV THINGY Steve Martin performed Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" on which hit sketch comedy show? A) "The Diet Mug Root Beer Dana Carvey Show" B) Roseanne Barr's "Saturday Night Special" C) "The New Show" D) "The Rerun Show" E) Michael Nesmith's "Television Parts" --- 8 p.m. Doomsday interrupts Chloe's wedding on "SMALLVILLE" (WB). Just like in the comics. It's Twister Night on NBC, which means that "MY NAME IS EARL" (NBC) will be crossing over with "Empty Nest," and "Nurses," but not "227." "GIL SHAHAM AND ORPHEUS AT THE PENTHOUSE" (PBS). Dear Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse Forum, I never thought it would happen to me. I was listening to a tribute to violinist and composer Pablo de Sarasate, "Live From Lincoln Center." 9 p.m. "LOST CITIES OF THE AMAZON" (National Geographic) locates the avocado jungle of death. Can "CSI" (CBS) just give the miniature killer their own show already? 10 p.m. Tyson Beckford guests on "TIM GUNN’S GUIDE TO STYLE" (Bravo) to help prove that tall people got some reason to live. "IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA" (FX): The Musical. Charlie's Angel Cameron Diaz and Architecture for Humanity co-founder Cameron Sinclair dance to "Brick House" on "ICONOCLASTS" (Sundance). It's the most newest episode of "E.R." (NBC) ever. Dad Mars is a kidnapper, yet this is still not why Mr. "LIFE ON MARS" (ABC) is back in 1973. 10:30 P.M. Daddy Silverman returns from the dead on "THE SARAH SILVERMAN PROGRAM" (Comedy). === TV OR NOT TV RECOMMENDS "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All" http://tinyurl.com/tvornottvcolbertsmas America’s favorite Christmas tradition is now on DVD!
