The best part of My Name is Earl (NBC, 8 PM) is feisty, tough-talkin' Joy, so maybe it'll pay to tune into the new episode on tonight, entitled "Joy In A Bubble." Then again, maybe not.

You know the poop's about to hit the fan when Joe Biden and Sarah Palin go head to head in the Vice Presidential Debate (All major networks, 9 PM). I smell blood! And I like it! I think maybe I am a vampire!

I don't particularly care that this might be Smallville's (The CW, 9 PM) last season, but some people probably do.

I miss Paul Newman! Which is why I am gonna be watching the re-airing of Iconoclasts (Sundance, 9 PM) featuring him and his buddy Robert Redford yukking it up tonight.

Tim Gunn for president. Season Two of Tim Gunn's Guide to Style (Bravo, 11 PM) kicks off this eventide.
