What series star/lead character noted in his show's first episode that turning "five dollars into ten dollars is impossible, but turning five million into ten million is inevitable"? A) Blake Carrington B) Jonathan Hart C) Jim Profit D) Edward Stratton III E) Donald Trump Monday brings the correct answer, and while raindrops keep Fallon on my head. (This is why rainy days and Mondays always get Hugh Downs.) --- Our top story tonight: SATURDAY 9 p.m. Shrink Rosie O'Donnell battles the foster care system with a 16 year old named "AMERICA" (Lifetime). David Hasslehoff, David Frye, and John Rhys-Davies battle the giant rubber snake in "ANACONDAS 4: TRAIL OF BLOOD" (Sci Fi). Learn whether "Jesus Walks" was non-fiction and other fun facts on "STORYTELLERS: KANYE WEST" (VH1). 10 p.m. If the fictional version was too much for your palette, the documentary "NOTORIOUS B.I.G.: BIGGER THAN LIFE" (BET) might be worth a rap session. SUNDAY 8 p.m. TELE-GEBRA "The Devil Wears Prada" = "RUNNING IN HEELS" (Style) . "I'm not wearing that girl's leotard!," on "THE AMAZING RACE" (CBS). It's possible that Rob Lowe dies on a "BROTHERS & SISTERS" (ABC) Movie Event. But at least the chicks at "Grey's Anatomy" can then sleep with his character. Bart is rewarded for his "academic achievement" on No Child Left Behind tests on "THE SIMPSONS" (Fox). To quote Bill Cosby's "Moses," "RIIIIIIIGHT." 9 p.m. "THE L WORD" (Showtime) is possibly "Lambada" given the episode's GLBT center dance marathon. Or possibly "Leaving," as one character has plans to bolt to NYC. "JESSE STONE: THIN ICE" (CBS) battles Boston's internal-affairs division. He done shouldna' left home. Oscar winner Tom Hanks produces "BIG LOVE" (HBO), on which Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black is a writer. (Insert snide remark about "Arli$$" here.) Super egos make lemonade out of former credibility on "THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE" (NBC). The Biggest Rated Show Airing on NBC Right Now. 10 p.m. "THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR" (E!) prepares to spinoff a bimbo into her own grotto. "THE UNITED STATES OF TARA" (Showtime) offers a reminder as to why you should always put in writing which of your sister's split personalities you want to have take care of you while recovering from breast implant surgery. 10:30 p.m. Bell has trouble juggling her men (the non paying ones) on "SECRET DIARY OF A CALL GIRL" (Showtime). QUESTIONABLE ANSWERS What county was Elroy P. Lobo the sheriff of? When not chasing B.J. and the Bear, Lobo had his misadventures in Orly County, GA. --- But the conversation has just begun, add your own suggestions or discuss mine on the "TV or Not TV" Google list or at tvornottv.net.
