--- TOM'S TWISTED TOTALLY TRIVIAL TV THINGY Aaaaaaay! It's the birthday of the Fonz. Which sci-fi series was a Henry Winkler production? A) "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction" B) "Max Headroom" C) "Poltergeist: The Legacy" D) "Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal" E) "Sightings" Tune in next time for the answer 7 p.m. Gays and lesbians discuss how hot Joe Biden is on "THE VISIBLE VOTE '08 ELECTION SPECIAL" (Logo). Yes, the $20, the DNC has spent on his wardrobe has paid off, girlfriend! 8 p.m. Jimmy Olsen's front page photo could cost Clark the secret identity he doesn't have yet on "SMALLVILLE" (CW). "UGLY BETTY" (ABC) and Lindsay Lohan act like mean girls. 9 p.m. The people on "GREY’S ANATOMY" (ABC) could remove a young girl’s inoperable tumor ... but that would mean taking time away from making whoopee in the linen closets. Things that go bump in the night are captured with jerky camera work and bad sound on "LOST:NO NOT THE ONE WITH THE PLANE CRASH" (Animal Planet). No, they couldn't get Bigfoot to sign the release forms. How can you tell when "SUPERNATURAL" (CW) does a Halloween episode? The victim on "CSI" (CBS) has several different blood types. I can't wait to watch this on my plasma screen. 9:30 p.m. Liz demands the staff act normal on "30 ROCK" (NBC) to make an adoption agency rep (Megan Mullally) think she'd name a good mother. (Shut your mouth. We're not talking 'bout Shaft.) 10 p.m. The victim du jour is time traveling cop Sam's mother on "LIFE ON MARS" (ABC). Sam should start investing in the stock market to pay for his therapy bills should he ever leap back home/wake up from the coma. "ICONOCLASTS" (Sundance) Tony Hawk and Jon Favreau share a half pipe. Autistic kids become savants in "ELEVENTH HOUR" (CBS). NIGHT LINE * Rachel Maddow interviews Obama. * Bill Kristol gives his standard replies to Jon. * Wilco brags to Stephen. * Thomas Friedman flattens things out with Tavis. * Dave has a full house with Ashley Olsen, Paul Rudd, and John Legend * Jay thinks that Christina Applegate, Frank Caliendo, and Fall Out Boy are radioactive, man. * Kevin Smith, Kaitlin Olson, and the Damned make a Craig Show. * Jada Pinkett-Smith, Rachel Maddow, and Pink take a safari through Conan's lipstick jungle. === PREVIOUS ANSWER HDTV turned 10 on Wednesday. Who was featured with the very 1st broadcast? It was the space shuttle mission with ... John Glenn.
