--- TOM'S TOTALLY TWISTED TELEVISION TRIVIAL TEST THINGY NBC is reviving "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here!" which bombed on ABC in 2003. Who won that edition? A) A current contestant on "The Celebrity Apprentice" B) The ex-wife of a "Dancing with the Stars" loser C) The host of "Dirty Dancing: The Reality Series" D) The host of "Make Me A Supermodel" E) The current "Tonight Show" announcer 8 p.m. "SMALLVILLE" (CW) has a new superhero, Stiletto, aka Lois Lane. Her shocking secret: she looks like a pump, but feels like a sneaker. The "DOVE AWARDS" (Gospel Music Channel) features American Idol loser Chris Sligh, whom you'll remember as the American Susan Boyle. "IN TREATMENT: PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL" (HBO) goes behind the appointment book. 8:30 p.m. Oscar nominee "TROUBLE THE WATER" (HBO) relives the carnage of Hurricane Katrina through the eyes of a 24 year old documentarian. 9 p.m. I GUEST SO "The Wire's" Idris Elba checks in for an arc at "THE OFFICE" (NBC). 9:30 p.m. I GUEST SO II: THE CON OF WRATH Salma Hayek and Steve Buscemi stalk "30 Rock" (NBC) 10 p.m. "THE BEAST" (A&E) ends season one with a cliffhanger -- Will Patrick Swayze still be alive for season 2? Tom Sizemore and C. Thomas Howell are magical on "SOUTHLAND" (NBC). There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man and bring him to the ground. You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad, and leave him when he's down. (Yeah.) But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you. I'm standing on my own two feet. Out of the doorway the bullets rip on "HARPER'S ISLAND" (CBS) repeating to the sound of the beat. Oh yeah. Another one bites the dust. TALK TALK * Jon upsets his constitution with Richard Beeman. * Colbert has a cow with Elizabeth Bintliff. * Tavis gets a triple word score with Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan and Anika Noni Rose. * David is grateful for Jamie Foxx, Lauren Conrad, and the Dead * Jay makes Jules Sylvester, Ryan Reynolds, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy feel mighty real. * Kimmel just can't get enough of Channing Tatum, Elisha Cuthbert, and Depeche Mode. * Craig thinks Teri Hatcher and Martina McBride are super. Thanks for asking. * Fallon saves the day with Ali Larter, Mike Tyson, James Toback, and Tinted Windows. * Carson is pretty in pink with Eliza Dushku and Brett Dennen. QUESTIONABLE ANSWERS Besides Drew Carey, which cast member of the US edition of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" was also an executive producer? Twas none of the people I listed yesterday ... Ryan Styles made a splash on the the UK edition and when Drew made the ABC edition Styles stepped up as a executive producer. --- "The Remote Patrol" is copyright© 2009 Thomas Allen Heald and Gigantic Rear Projection, Ltd., a division of Haslenald, Inc.
