What to Watch on Tuesday: Ludo Bites again

History Detectives (8pm, UNC-TV) - Among other things featured tonight, a woodcarving of a mouth and chin that may have been part of an Andrew Jackson figurehead affixed to the USS Constitution.

Pretty Little Liars (8pm, ABC Family) - Broadway legend Betty Buckley guest stars as Hannah's grandmother, who arrives in town for Tom's wedding.

Ludo Bites America (9pm, Sundance) - Ludo and Krissy travel to California to revamp Redondo Beach's Casa Pulido, which they turn into a fusion of Pacific Ocean seafood and Mexican fare. At 8pm, there's a repeat of last week's show from Raleigh (left), featuring The Pit and Gravy restaurants, and Allen & Son Barbecue (of Chapel Hill). Ludo certainly presented an interesting menu. Blood Pig Terrine, anyone?

Flipping Out (9pm, Bravo) - Jeff's suspicions grow about how one of his contractors is handling finances (shocker: it's the old man tile guy!) and a fiery fight erupts between the two. Also, Jeff deals with a sad pet-related medical problem.

Picker Sisters (10pm, Lifetime) - A tour of the Deep South yields a trailer full of vintage items. Tanya and Tracy ship the finds home with specific instructions, but somehow the message is misinterpreted by Alan.

What Not to Wear: Top 10 Meltdowns (10pm, TLC) - The hosts recall the worst meltdowns they've seen from the show's makeover candidates.

"What Not to Wear" host Stacy London mouths off in Mebane

"Refresh Yourself" stylist Sheon Ladson files this report after the Tanger Outlet opening. Don't worry, it's TV related:

Regular watchers of TLC’s “What Not to Wear” probably noticed a difference in the latest makeover, which aired Nov. 5, of a San Diego therapist named Wanda.

Usually, the makeover contestants are given $5,000 to spend on a new wardrobe and they shop in New York City. But for the first time, a contestant shopped at an outlet, this one the Tanger Outlet Center on Long Island.

And it paid off: Wanda ended up with 45 outfits, instead of the 25-30 outfits that contestants usually can afford when they shop in the Big Apple. She stretched that $5,000!

What to Watch on Friday: NBC goes family friendly

Secrets of the Mountain (8pm, NBC) - In this made-for-TV movie, a woman (Paige Turco) decides to sell a mountain cabin she inherited from her uncle (Barry Bostwick) and takes her kids there on a weekend trip to finalize the deal. The family ends up uncovering a mystery someone doesn't want them to know about, and things get dangerous. Sounds like a live-action version of a Scooby Doo cartoon. But it's family friendly TV so I'm not knocking it.

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution (9pm, ABC) - Jamie's still fighting the good fight in Huntington, West Virginia, but is anyone paying attention? Tonight, to gain much-needed funding, he must rely on the testimony of his biggest critic in all this, Alice the Lunch Lady. There's more information about Jamie's mission (plus lots of great looking recipes) at his website.

What Not To Wear Awards (9pm, TLC) - Stacy and Clinton recall the most memorable moments in "What Not To Wear" history, and then a couple get a chance to change each other's wardrobe. 

What to Watch on Friday: Season 2 of "Shark Tank" returns

Dateline NBC (8pm, NBC) - Meredith Vieira interviews David Goldman, the New Jersey father who regained custody of his 9-year-old son after a 5-year international custody battle. Includes footage of the father and son reunion.

Shark Tank (9pm, ABC) - The season 2 premiere features a biker with a three dimensional helmet, a chef with a recipe for salad dressing, a plan for a golf ball washer, and more. Watch meanie shark Kevin O'Leary (right) destroy all their dreams. 

Medium (9pm, CBS) - A suspected serial killer dies and his ghost contacts Allison to ask for help redeeming himself, and even assists with the case.

What Not to Wear (9pm, TLC) - In a new episode, Clinton and Stacy help a woman who lost 170 pounds after gastric bypass surgery, and now has no idea how to dress.  

What to Watch on Friday: NBC brings back the Chopping Block

Chopping Block (8pm, NBC) - This is the Marco Pierre White (left) competition cooking show that was pulled by NBC earlier this year. If you were following along back then, you've probably forgotten everyone and lost interest. If you weren't following along, you don't really care about jumping in in the middle. Good strategy. Tonight, the remaining contestants prepare food using aphrodisiacs.

What Not to Wear (9pm, TLC) - A woman who is mistaken for her husband's mother (ouch!) sheds her frumpy old lady clothes for a new look.

Real Time with Bill Maher (10pm, HBO) - Guests are Meghan McCain and columnist Joel Stein.

Friday night with Stacy and Clinton

I've never seen such a hot fashion mess as Lynn from tonight's episode of "What Not To Wear."

Sporting a winged '80s-rocker mullet and black eyeliner — which she melts with a match — Lynn, who predictably talks with a Noo Yawk accent, actually nominated herself for the show.

I'm proud of her for recognizing her need for an intervention.
