Prime Pick
If you're feeling particularly poor this holiday season (like we are), you might enjoy the vicarious thrills of TLC's new series, "Million Dollar Christmas" (8 p.m. EST), which joins several lottery winners for the first Christmas they'll spend since becoming millionaires. What ludicrous, overpriced crap did they purchase with all that money? Were they generous with their newfound wealth, or hopelessly selfish? And did all of that cash make them happier, or just better dressed? Forget the Christmas spirit. This is your chance to snicker at the bad choices, greed and misfortunes of rich strangers -- while wishing you had the money to make big, flashy, bad choices, too.
Also…
Have you forgotten "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"? Refresh your memory tonight when the Cartoon Network airs Dr. Seuss' special (8:30 p.m. EST). Meanwhile on ABC, "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" (8 p.m. EST), but he probably won't make a stop in "Kid Nation" (8 p.m. EST on CBS), unless he has a shipment of coal for bratty Taylor. Tonight the brats of "Gossip Girl" (9 p.m. EST on CW) attend a debutante ball, while the debutantes of "Project Runway" (10 p.m. EST on Bravo) face a reimagineering challenge from Nina Garcia.
