Farmer wants some TV recommendations.

From the department of dubious list shows, VH1 presents the 40 Greatest Pranks. Somewhere on there has to be the existence of this show, right? (VH1, 7 PM)

It's seems weird that the networks are still dragging out strike-era programming into prime time now that all the scripted shows have made it back to prime time, but here were are, watching the Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular. Also, doesn't The Price Is Right seem like an awfully old-fashioned way to win a million? That's a lot of retail-priced Rice-A-Roni. (CBS, 8 PM)

Speaking of strike programming that we're inexplicably still getting, The CW insists on foisting Farmer Wants A Wife upon us. (CW, 8 PM)

The plot synopsis for America's Next Top Model says the remaining contestants will "train like gladtiators" in order to win a shopping spree in Rome. It's like history is coming alive! (CW, 8 PM)

Seeing as it's what everybody's talking about today, expect to see some sort of explanation of Paula Abdul's time-traveling gaffe tonight on American Idol. Seeing as said explanation will likely not contain the word "oxycontin," take it with the appropriate grain of salt.

I'm not sure who I'm rooting for this season on Top Chef, but for now I'm busy rooting against Spike. And Richard. And Andrew. And Lisa. And...is her name Nikki? Rooting for people to lose may seem petty, but your chances of being pleased with the results of the show increase dramatically, so... (Bravo, 10 PM)
