TOM'S TWISTED TOTALLY TRIVIAL TV THINGY If I like fish food, what color is your hair? A) Blue B) Magenta C) Red D) White E) Yellow Tuesday brings the right answer, and a new age. --- DAYTIMER "THE ELECTRIC COMPANY" (PBS) is back, and now about a quartet of young hip hop super heroes. This would like a job for Fargo North, Decoder, but he's now one of the producers on "Cheaters." 5 P.M. "GLENN BECK" (Fox News Channel) swaps networks. Headline News' Nancy Grace would notice he's missing, but he's not a hot blonde. 7 P.M. Ricky Gervais goes "INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO" (Bravo) so that a third copy of "Ghost Town" might be sold. 8 p.m. Go back to "THE AMERICAN FUTURE: A HISTORY BY SIMON SCHAMA" (BBC America) for a look at the land that was made for you and me. Single dad Jason, aka "THE BACHELOR" (ABC), awards one of the skanks a million dollar diamond necklace, then takes her to Vegas, where she has to fight Harry Winston in a steel cage match to keep the rocks. "HOUSE" (Fox) has a case of the Mondays and/or chronic pain. 8:30 p.m. It's time to make the donuts on "WILL WORK FOR FOOD" (Food Network). Although in the pilot, host Adam Gertler catches lobsters and harvests honey. 9 p.m. Will "MOMMA'S BOYS" (NBC) pick the choices of their amazing racist mothers? The end is nigh. "THE STORY OF INDIA" (PBS) finally gets to the part about Slumdog Millionaire. Madame President doesn't know Jack on "24" (Fox). Fortunately, the First man has a way to stop the terrorists. 10 p.m. "ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS" (Travel) sees what there be to see in D.C.. Tip: Avoid the Lincoln cheese logs. === TTTTTT ANSWER Which game show takes its name from a Cole Porter tune? Celeste Holmes and Frank Sinatra asked in "High Society": "Who has an itch to be filthy rich? Who gives a hoot for a lot of loot? Who longs to live a life of perfect ease? And be swamped by necessary luxuries? 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' I don't." But the conversation doesn't end here, add your own suggestions or discuss mine on the "TV or Not TV" Google list.
