Curb Your Enthusiasm (10pm, TVGN) - If you don't have HBO and you've never watched "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on DVD, you can now start with the first episode from Season One of this hilarious, unconventional sitcom from Larry David, the co-creator of "Seinfeld." "Curb" fans may wonder how the heck they are going to show this on basic cable without ruining it. I was skeptical too, but it totally works for me. Plus, at the end of each episode, Susie Essman hosts a discussion on the moral crisis or social faux pas consumed Larry. Tonight's discussion panel includes Jon Hamm and Patti Stanger (pictured). 

In Plain Sight (10pm, USA) - A woman wants to escape her mob family but a secret from her past may keep her out of the Witness Protection program. Laura San Giacomo guest stars. 

Some people don't believe in ghosts. That's not me -- I totally believe. It's the show "Ghost Hunters" I don't believe in, as much as I want to. And unfortunately, their spinoff "Ghost Hunters Academy" doesn't do much to convince me I should be tuning in.

Here's how it goes, if you haven't seen it:

Ghost Hunter 1: "Did you hear that?"
Ghost Hunter 2: "Yeah."
Me: "No."
GH1: "There. I heard it again."
GH2: "Me too."
Me: "Still not hearing anything."
GH1: "Whoa, did you see that?"
GH2: "Yeah! Man!"
Me: "What?! What?! I didn't see anything!"

And even if there is something, you watch for 40 minutes to see 2 seconds of a shadow flick over a wall or a little light flashing in a corner. Is that worth it??
