TOM'S TWISTED TOTALLY TRIVIAL TV THINGY Who took over the Michael Keaton role of auto worker Hunt Stevenson when the movie "Gung Ho" hit the small screen on ABC? A) Scott Bakula B) Jim Belushi C) Tom Hanks D) Howard Hesseman E) John Ritter === 8 p.m. Henry Winkler judges (a step up from "MERRY CHRISTMAS, DRAKE & JOSH, WHOMEVER YOU ARE" (Nickelodeon). Aquaman and the Atom guest on "BATMAN: BRAVE AND THE BOLD" (Cartoon) to battle Felix Faust, Black Manta, Ocean Master, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns. IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CLIPFEST: "GREATEST HOLIDAY MOMENTS: TV AND FILM COUNTDOWN" (NBC). Cirque du Soleil hires the "DOG WHISPERER" (National Geographic). 9 p.m. "TRUE CANADIAN STORY" (E!) will go on with Celine Dion. Sheppard and Lorne aid a Wraith Ship infected with HIV(e) "STARGATE ATLANTIS" (Sci Fi). Eddie Money is told: "DON'T FORGET THE LYRICS!" (Fox). "LIPSTICK JUNGLE" (NBC) moves an hour earlier, which will send ratings plummeting. Why? Because they moved my show and I can't find it. I have no idea how to read TV listings or watch commercials in other shows telling me when my important show is on. 10 p.m. "SANCTUARY" (Sci-Fi) triangulates Bermuda in a fellow submarine. 1 A.M. The piano man crashes: "ZACH GALIFIANAKIS: LIVE AT THE PURPLE ONION" (Comedy Central). NIGHT LIGHTS * Seal barks at Tavis. * Cate Blanchett, Tim Reid & Tom Dreesen, and Taylor Swift are fearless with Jay. * Jimmy thaws William Shatner and Ludacris. === REMOTE RECOMMENDATIONS "Up Till Now" by William Shatner http://tinyurl.com/tvornottvShatUp In "Up Till Now," Shatner sits down with readers and offers the remarkable, full story of his life and explains how he got to be, well, everywhere. In this touching and very funny autobiography, William Shatner reveals the man behind these unforgettable moments, and how he’s become the worldwide star and experienced actor he is today. === NIGHT LIGHTS * Ron Howard opines on "The Daily Show." * Crackers Sen. Bob Graham and Nicholas Wade row their way to "The Colbert Report." * Brian Williams, Kirk Fox, and Common read the news to Jay. Oh boy. Four thousand holes in Mumbai, India. * Jimmy leans what's new with Hugh Jackman and Tom Jones. === TTTTTT ANSWER The "Electric Company's" "Love of Chair" sketch always asked "What about ... Naomi?" Well ... what about her? As the mother to Maggie and Jake Gyllenhall, Naomi is likely intrigued that they're doing a sequel to "Donnie Darko" without either of her children. === But the conversation doesn't end here, add your own suggestions or discuss mine on the "TV or Not TV" Google list or at TVorNotTV.net.
