TOM'S TWISTED TOTALLY TRIVIAL TV THINGY
Had his series lasted another season, this character was going to quit 
his job and become a writer. Who almost had this career opportunity?
A) Doogie Howser
B) Jack Killian
C) Father Leo
D) Nick Knight
E) Alan Shore

Monday brings the right answer, and hopefully a better question.

---

8 p.m.
Friday designs a missile defense system for "CRUSOE's" (NBC) tree house.

9 p.m.
(M)ANGER MANAGEMENT
* John Ratzenberger and Dixie Carter offer designing cheers to Julie 
Warner and Steven Eckholdt (whoever they are during "OUR FIRST 
CHRISTMAS" (Hallmark).
* Luke Perry, Helen Shaver, and someone from "Privileged" star in "A 
VERY MERRY DAUGHTER OF THE BRIDE" (Lifetime). Brought to you by 
Mad-Libs. (Just the title.)

Victims of traumatic brain injury get to watch the "WWE TRIBUTE TO THE 
TROOPS" (NBC) with body slams. Yay?

TELE-GEBRA
Indy + Brenda = "THE LOST TREASURE OF THE GRAND CANYON" (Sci Fi) 
starring Shannen Doherty.

SUNDAY
8 p.m.
"Big Race's" Julie Chen and "Amazing Brother's" Phil play for the 
"MILLION DOLLAR PASSWORD" (CBS/CDB).

Bonded courier "House's" Lisa Edelstein bodyguards a brat cliche in

9 P.M.
Ryan Seacrest does not host the "SEARCH FOR THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM"

Adrienne Barbeau, Mariette Hartley and Lee Majors guest on "COLD CASE" 
(CBS) now with 700% more Sinatra as background music.

TTTTTT ANSWER
Who was seeing "Mrs. Shmenkman" on a regular basis? Marty Gold. It's 
what Hannah Miller (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her best friend Robin Dulitski 
(Holly Fulger) called one another because as kids as they assumed they 
would marry a couple of brothers with the surname Shmenkman before they 
were thirty.

But the conversation doesn't end here, add your own suggestions or 
discuss mine on the "TV or Not TV" Google list. "The Remote Patrol" is
