Happy New Year, Charlie Brown (8pm, ABC) - In this 1986 special, Charlie Brown rings in the new year at a party with Tolstoy's "War and Peace" and ends up missing the evening's big surprise. Also features "She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown," a short in which Snoopy helps Peppermint Patty train for her first ice-skating competition.
Three Inches (9pm, Syfy) - The two-hour pilot of a new Syfy series about a man who is struck by lightning and discovers he can use his mind to move any object three inches. It's a sitcom. A sitcom with a two-hour pilot. But it stars James Marsters (Spike on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and a whole host of other pretty recognizable sci-fi actors. It sounds promising but Syfy hasn't even listed it on their website yet, so their lack of support isn't encouraging.
NY Ink (9pm, TLC) - In the Season 2 premiere, Ami's tattoo shop has become a hit, but the success also comes with more problems.
Hook, Line, and Sisters (10pm, TLC) - A commercial fishing family in Alaska is the focus of this new reality series (no, it's not about Todd Palin). The series begins with Dean and Susan Anderson and their two daughters as they prepare for salmon season.
Love Bites (10pm, NBC) - This one has been on the NBC shelf for awhile. We finally get to see the first episode of a new anthology series featuring vignettes about love, sex, dating, and marriage in a continuing story loosely connected to Annie (Becki Newton), who serves as a surrogate for her sister. Tonight's episode features Greg Grunberg as a married man who tries to convince actress Jennifer Love Hewitt (playing herself) to have sex with him on an airplane (she's on his List). Craig Robinson of "The Office" also appears in tonight's episode.
