Off with your head!
I keep accidentally mixing Mad Money (CNBC, 6 PM) and Mad Men up in my head - I hunker down, ready to enjoy an excellent period drama about advertising execs in 1960s New York and what I get instead is headline news about like stocks and bonds and crap. But I've been making some pretty savvy investments lately, so maybe it's not a total loss.
If you've never seen Albert and David Mayles' incredi-effing-ble documentary Grey Gardens (Sundance, 5:15 PM) about kooky Jacqueline Kennedy cousins Big and Little Edie Bouvier Beale, you need to 1) give yourself a firm, open handed smack across the face from me and 2) watch it immediately. You'll have a whole new outlook on dressing for the day.
To celebrate Bastille Day, TCM is hosting an entire day of movies devoted to the French revolution and decapitation and stuff. Catch A Tale of Two Cities (TCM, 3:15 PM) and adopt a mob mentality. Or just get some knitting done.

From what I've read, Anthony Bourdain's trip to Colombia, captured in this new episode of No Reservations (Travel, 10 PM), was so incredible that it's made him into a borderline cock-eyed optimist. Perhaps they just caught him when he was indulging in the country's number one export?
The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (G4, 11:30PM), a documentary about competitors in the world championship Donkey Kong tournament, will appeal to uber-nerds and normal folk alike.
