TOM'S TWISTED TOTALLY TRIVIAL TV THINGY When their tombstone is carved, he says his will read "Brilliant But Canceled." Who's on this BBC? A) Kevin Anderson B) Bryan Fuller C) Jason Gedrick D) Ted McGinley E) Adrian Pasdar Tuesday brings the right answer, and a chance to stock up on Alka-Seltzer. --- 8 p.m. "RON HOWARD: 50 YEARS IN FILM" (Turner Classic Movies) treks from his first onscreen appearance in "The Journey" (airing at 3:30 a.m.) to his latest directorial effort, "Frost/Nixon." Would this get Michael Cera to lower his fee to appear in the "Arrested Development" movie? It didn't. BOWLED OVER Winning team members win a used rental car at the Alamo Bowl (ESPN). Losing team members each win two used rental cars. Fire up a colortini and watch celebs eat at "LE CIRQUE: A TABLE IN HEAVEN" (HBO). Mmmm ... name dropping! "GREATEST HOLIDAY MOMENTS: HILARIOUS HOME VIDEO COUNTDOWN" (NBC) is an outrage with which Ben Affleck's Keith Olbermann shall not put. 9 p.m. Blue, blue the laws are blue on "SEVEN DEADLY SINS: LUST" (History). TELE-GEBRA Paris Hilton's New Best Friend + The Hills + Could not be paid to watch + consider assisted suicide instead = Brody Jenner's "BROMANCE" (MTV). Chantal Lasbats separates the homeless from the C.H.U.D. amongst "THE TUNNEL DWELLERS OF NEW YORK" (Sundance). WILL & GRACE MEMORIAL UNECESSARY GUEST STAR PATROL Nobody wins the $2 million on "DEAL OR NO DEAL" (NBC), except possibly guest encourager/briber Kobe Bryant. 10 p.m. WILL & GRACE MEMORIAL UNECESSARY GUEST STAR PATROL "MOMMA'S BOYS" (NBC) welcomes Tyler Florence, dating expert? Poison beats Ratt, while Whitesnake beats Guns 'N' Roses in the "100 GREATEST HARD ROCK SONGS" (VH1). NIGHT LIGHTS They're all in reruns this week. === TTTTTT ANSWER When last we left them, who was dead on "Pushing Daisies"? Well, in the pilot, Ned revived "The Lonely Tourist" aka Chuck. Chuck's mom turned out to be her aunt Lily. Ned's dad abandoned him after his mother died (the second time.) But because Ned brought his mother back to life for over a minute, the universe killed Chuck's dad, Charles Charles. Although they brought back Chuck's dad over a minute... killing Dwight Dixon before he could kill Ned, Chuck and/or Vivian. So ... Ned's mom is the dead dead of all their parental units. But the conversation doesn't end here, add your own suggestions or discuss mine on the "TV or Not TV" Google list.
