"Toy Hunter" may reawaken your inner child

If you watched last night's premiere of "Collection Intervention," you might experience deja vu if you tune into "Toy Hunter" (10 tonight, Travel Channel). Apparently, a lot of people collect Star Wars figurines.

Yet while they overlap in depicting toys and collectors, the shows have different spirits. "Toy Hunter" features Jordan Hembrough following leads, moving from basements to storage rooms to attics, in search of toys he can buy and resell. He doesn't care if you have clutter, only if you've got something cool.
 

Today's DVD giveaway is a big dose of reality!

What to Watch on Sunday: Susan Boyle, The Jacksons, and Oprah with Obama

I Dreamed a Dream: The Susan Boyle Story (8pm, TVGuide Network) - A look at British singer Susan Boyle's surprising rise to stardom, hosted by Piers Morgan. In the special, Boyle sings "Cry Me a River" and the Rolling Stones song "Wild Horses." The show repeats at 9pm (and probably a thousand more times next week). TVGN is channel 0 on Time Warner Cable.

The Jack5ons (9pm, A&E) - Tonight's the premiere of the new Jackson reality series, which follows the lives of Jermaine, Tito, Randy, and Marlon. In the opening episode, the brothers announce their 40th-anniversary album, but news of Michael's death ends their dream of a reunion. Also, Jermaine gets angry when Jackie erases his vocals in studio editing. Oh ... snap. Check out Adrienne's review.

Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special (10pm, ABC) - Oprah interviews the President and First Lady and gives us a look at Christmas preparations at the White House.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians (10pm, E!) - Season four begins tonight with Kris and Bruce Jenner learning of Kourtney's pregnancy and working through their hatred of Scott, the baby's father.

Also, Showtime has season finales tonight of Dexter (9pm) and Californication (10pm). "Dexter" has featured John Lithgow as the baddie this season, and tonight's finale should be excellent.

The Kardashians to design for Bebe

Kim tells Life & Style Magazine that she and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney are branching out beyond their Dash clothing line (and L.A. boutique) with a new line for Bebe.

"We have a line coming up that we've designed for Bebe," she told the magazine. "So that's what we're focusing on right now."

It looks like each will take a spin designing. "Me, Kourtney and Khloe are designing for five seasons," Kim said. "We each have our signature pieces: Khloe has her collection, Kourtney has hers and I have mine. It's so exciting."

And here I was thinking celebrity clothing lines were fading ...

What to Watch on Monday: Rashad McCants crosses the Kardashians

Keeping up with the Kardashians (8:30pm, E!) - This is a rerun of last season's finale, where Khloe Kardashian finds out that her boyfriend Rashad McCants (that's right -- former UNC basketball player Rashad McCants) is cheating on her bigtime while they are living in different cities, and she dumps him. Need more Rashad and Khloe? Watch Rashad meet the Kardashians and then grocery shop and bake cupcakes with Khloe (which really means they throw batter on each other and lick it off). The Kardashians return to E! in August.

The Closer (9pm, TNT) - First things first: Kitty is alive. Things looked a little dicey for Kitty at the end of last week's episode, but Kitty is alive and receiving medical treatment on tonight's show. Oh yeah, and Brenda looks into the kidnapping of a greedy financier.

Jon & Kate Plus Eight (9pm, TLC) - Another television crossover, another freebie for the Gosselins. The guys from "American Chopper" visit and build custom bikes for Jon and Kate. Will they get eight little sidecars?

Cake Boss (10pm, TLC) - You have to see tonight's cake-hatin' Bridezilla to believe it.
