TOM'S TOTALLY TWISTED TV TRIVIA THINGY When "C.S.I." originally launched on CBS on Friday nights in 2000, it was paired with an update of "The Fugitive" with Tim Daly as Dr. Richard Kimble. Who was tasked with chasing him as Lt. Gerard? A) Anthony LaPaglia B) Gary Sinise C) Robert Downey, Jr. D) Mykelti Williamson E) Stanley Tucci The answer when next we meet. Or not. --- 8 p.m. Sam learns he's not the Devil's only offspring on "REAPER" (CW). The others work at A.I.G.. The GOP makes Obama guess which one out of 26 shiny briefcases contains the $1 trillion dollars on "PRESIDENTIAL NEWS CONFERENCE OR NO PRESIDENTIAL NEWS CONFERENCE" (CBS/ABC/NBC/Fox/PBS) Look back at what inspired the legendary animator (and some of his last cartoons) in the documentary "CHUCK JONES: MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD" (Turner Classic Movies). 9 p.m. "FRONTLINE" (PBS) counts the number of zeros in President Obama's budget starting with Tim Geithner. RANDOM GUEST STAR GENERATOR * Someone from NASCAR visits "THE BIGGEST LOSER CONTESTANTS" (NBC) * Hall, Oates, and Cloris Leachman visit the "DANCING WITH THE STARS RESULTSAPALOOZA" (ABC). 10 p.m. "Slumdog Millionaire" - "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" = "LAKSHMI AND ME" (PBS), the life and times of a servant in Mumbai. "THE MENTALIST" (CBS) visits Nevada. Yeah. I know. TALK TALK * Dave has love all around for Mary Tyler Moore, Blake Lively, and White Lies. * Jay fries Condoleezza Rice, Bill Hader, PJ Harvey and John Parish. * Craig dishes deeply with Virginia Madsen, Jason Ritter, and Chicago. * Jimmy Fallon wrestles Rachel Maddow, John Cena, and Gambriella Cilmi. * Chris Cornell sounds off with Carson. * Jimmy Kimmel welcomes the "Dancing with the Stars" loser du jour, Zach Braff, and Cheryl Hines, * Tavis bests on Dr. Keith Black and The-Dream. --- QUESTIONABLE ANSWERS Tim Daly starred in what ABC series heading up a detective series of gadget crazed investigators?

We regret the error. --- 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.
