- Bravo takes us First Class All the Way to Italy for the first of two episodes set there. This docu-drama is filled with the kind of stuff that makes Robin Leach cream himself, so tune in and wonder why they can’t throw a couple bones your way … or mine!

- Boy, those CBS comedies sure are funny, aren’t they? Yeah, but they’re in repeats tonight. I know we like our comfort food, but really you should expand your horizons. NBC’s Chuck is a little show that’s pretty funny, too. And NBC’s already given it a full season so you don’t have to worry about it getting yanked in a week. Tonight, Chuck is sent on a new case to distract him from the treachery of Jill and we meet Casey’s sensei and Captain Awesome’s parents (Morgan Fairchild & Bruce Boxleitner).
- Or, over on FOX you can find out what Cameron does when the lights go out on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It’s all about relationships and love and heartstrings at the annual Snowflake Ball on The CW’s Gossip Girl.
- BBC America wraps up that two-part look at post-terrorist attack Muslims living in the UK with Britz. On TLC’s Little People, Big World, first Matt and the twins take a road trip to bring home a VW bug. Then, Matt tries to set up a surprise for Amy while she’s away.
- Bravo has Daniel Radcliffe Inside the Actors Studio, while ESPN has Monday Night Football at the half hour. Tonight, it’s the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-7) at the Houston Texans (4-7) as they battle for last place in the AFC South. I know, compelling.
- ABC kicks off their night with Christmas specials. First up is Shrek the Halls, followed by Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Those CBS repeats are The Big Bang Theory with the time machine, and the How I Met Your Mother where Barney uses a tournament bracket to track down his love life saboteur.

- Biography offers up more stories of people who survived various near-death experiences on the 2nd season premiere of I Survived… Other reality offerings include TLC’s back-to-back Jon & Kate Plus 8 (the Gosselins get to meet Oprah and head to NYC to promote their new book), Cities of the Underworld on History, VH1’s Real Chance of Love, and USA’s WWE Raw. It’s like reality … kind of. Okay, it’s more like a sitcom but what do you want me to do?
- With Dancing With the Stars over, ABC gives us a full hour of new Samantha Who? First up, Sam struggles to pretend to be environmental for her boyfriend. Then, after a break-up (giving anything away there?), she goes on vacation with Dena and Andrea only to reconnect with another man from her past.
- It’s part two of “The Eclipse” on NBC’s Heroes. With the eclipse still in effect and their powers nullified how will our varied cast fare after this tumultuous installment?
- The team on FOX’s Prison Break is betrayed by one of their own while T-Bag gets a new partner. In much lighter fare, The Cw gives Privileged a Monday tryout with Laurel rekindling an old romance.
- Lifetime offers up their film Holiday Switch with Nicole Eggert getting to see what her life would have been like had she taken the other guy to the prom and wound up with him instead. CBS then gives us a repeat of the 5th season finale of Two and a Half Men, in which Charlie meets the daughter of the woman he’s dating and realizes he’s “met” her before. That’s followed by the pilot episode of Worst Week.
10:00p/9:00 Central
- While History is making some Ancient Discoveries about some amazing army machines, VH1is just one week away from crowning the winner of Scream Queens. Oh, and their still rich on MTV’s The Hills. Maybe they should book a ride on First Class All the Way.
- Edward risks committing treason on NBC’s My Own Worst Enemy, but it should be okay. He’s canceled anyway. And Betty White’s back on ABC’s Boston Legal. And Denny gets a depressing update on his Alzheimer’s progression, leading Alan to fight to get him on a non-FDA drug to slow down his deterioration.
- CBS repeat night wraps with a CSI: Miami featuring Tom Sizemore as an investigator trying to destroy the team.
