During "Secrets of Eden" (8 tonight, Lifetime), there's a special effect that happens whenever star John Stamos thinks back to a past episode. The figures enter the scene in slow motion before the action comes to life.

That's how I felt watching this film; it was a slow, dull slog through a slug of a film. And the action never comes to life.

Stamos plays Pastor Stephen Drew, a beloved small-town minister in Vermont who becomes a murder suspect after a member of his church Alice Hayward (Sonya Salomaa) is found dead a few feet away from her husband, who is dead too, from a bullet in the head. Their deaths leaves daughter Kate (Samantha Munro) an orphan.

Namath (9pm, HBO) - A documentary collaboration between HBO Sports and NFL Films looking at the fascinating life and career of New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath, who led the upstart AFL team to an upset win over the Colts in Super Bowl III.

Since we have our own allegedly murderous Peterson around here, I haven't been plugged in to the Chicago area's accused Peterson. If "Drew Peterson: Untouchable" (8 tonight, Lifetime) is even 50 percent true to the facts, I say we retire the surname.

I'm not saying the movie is bad; cheesy definitely, but not awful. It's just that, as played by Rob Lowe, Drew Peterson is a...jerk, isn't quite strong enough. Even if you're the polite sort, you'd have to go with either of the words that rhyme with slick.

If you aren't familiar, this Peterson is a police officer who is currently in jail, accused of killing his third wife, suspected of offing his still-unfound fourth.

Drew Peterson: Untouchable (8pm, Lifetime) - Former Illinois cop Drew Peterson becomes the suspect in the murder of his third wife and in the disappearance of his fourth wife. Based on a true story. And starring Rob Lowe as Drew Peterson. Adrienne has a review.

My Cat From Hell (8pm, Animal Planet) - If you're even the least bit interested in cats, this is a great show with cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy. Check it out.

Betty White's 90th Birthday Tribute (8pm, NBC) - If you missed this earlier in the week, catch it tonight. There were some really nice moments. "Betty White's Off Their Rockers," a show in which elderly people prank unsuspecting bystanders, airs immediately after.

Snow Beast (9pm, Syfy) - A scientist (John Schneider) and his research team try to evade a mysterious predator that appears to be responsible for a series of deaths after they travel to the Canadian wilderness to study a species of lynx, which have mysteriously disappeared from their territory.

Since the folks behind "Project Runway" invented the perfect fashion reality show, others have tried to find a way to duplicate it. Rather than reinvent, they've mostly tried variations of the theme, but either the elements weren't quite right or the hosts weren't quite right.

"24 Hour Catwalk" (10 tonight, Lifetime) doesn't try to reinvent either, but the creators have figured out what works on "PR," and what do you know, they've come up a show that feels like the funkier, quirkier little sister of "PR." Kinda like Beyonce and Solange.

"Catwalk" moves faster and has less at stake ($10,000 -- not bad for a day's work); four designers compete but two are eliminated after a first cut challenge. (Think "Top Chef's" quick fire challenge.) Then the two remaining designers get a sewing team and have a day to come up with six looks based on a particular theme for a final fashion show.

Brit hipster Alexa Chung hosts; judges are designer Cynthia Rowley, author/fashion editor Derek Blasberg and publicist James LaForce. It's pretty clear Blasberg will be the show's Michael Kors, the quick wit with the memorable phrases.

Television is a tough business, and so, history is strewn with failed series.

Some failed because they were bad; others because they were before their time.

Today, we offer two giveaway 2-packs that offer the shows' full first seasons AKA the complete series.

First up, "Sherri," the short-lived Lifetime sitcom based on the life of "The View" host Sherri Shepherd. The two-DVD set includes 13 episodes plus bonus webisodes featuring Ms. Shepherd's standup comedy.

We've paired that with "Huge," an acclaimed ABC Family show that starred Nikki Blonsky as a girl who attends fat camp and her relationships and adventures there.

The second package features "Off the Map," the ABC show from the preoducers of "Grey's Anatomy." You'll get more than 500 minutes of the show about young hot doctors in the South American jungle, plus bonus features like the cast discussing jungle medicine and cures.

That comes with the complete series of "Outsourced," the NBC sitcom about an American working at a call center in India. More than 7 hours of viewing with this one, plus a gag reel.

Want in? Just email here for the first package; and here for the second. We'll take entries until 7 tonight (12/20). We'll have a random drawing.

And we won't judge.

There's a new nanny in town. "America's Supernanny" (9 tonight, Lifetime) is no Jo Frost. Well, superficially anyway.

The new nanny is Deborah Tillman, a Virginia-based childcare specialist. She is lean and African-American; there's no cuddly Mary Poppins vibe here. Instead, the vibe is pure professionalism. Tillman, wearing pearls, kitten heels and a silky bob, walks in the door with such confidence, she seems truly super. The needy parent instantly seems inferior.

OK, I'll go there. Others I've spoken to have made something of the Supernanny being black. Seeing even a professional, well-spoken African-American woman posing as the one who knows best how to care for white folks kids apparently gets some folks riled up in a "The Help," kind of way. And then there's the other thing; Tillman is Michelle Obama-ish looking. Can't you hear it? We've already got the first mother telling us to eat our vegetables. Now she's telling us how to raise our kids!

48 Hours Mystery (10pm, CBS) - A Cajun millionaire turned English gentleman becomes a suspect in a murder investigation.

Pit Bulls and Parolees (10pm, Animal Planet) - A recent hire wastes little time jeopardizing his shot at redemption, and the center gets bad news concerning one dog's chance of being adopted.

I didn't read the novel that "Jodi Picoult's Salem Falls" (8 tonight, Lifetime) is based upon, but I have a feeling fans of the book will be disappointed. Unless they were expecting a film that's stilted and clumsy.

Jack McBride (James Van Der Beek) is on his way out of town. A teacher and soccer coach, he got in trouble at his all-girl's school because he's cute and teen girls get crushes. Now he's out of work and a registered sex offender. An accident on the road gets him stuck in Salem Falls, where he's befriended by Addie (Sarah Carter), who is really kind, owns the local diner and has some emotional issues, plus a father who enjoys getting drunk and cutting up.

Also residing in the town is rich girl Gillian (AJ Michalka) and her two friends. The girls practice Wicca, and when Gillian spots Jack, she swears he's the one who has come to take her away to California.

The Case for Christmas (8pm, Hallmark) - An ambitious lawyer (Dean Cain) defends Kris Kringle (George Buza), who's being sued by a selfish businessman for not bringing him the toys he wanted as a child.

(Personal note: I do not like the looks of that Santa.)

Jodi Picoult's Salem Falls (8pm, Lifetime) - A former teacher (James Van Der Beek) living in a small New England town is accused by some local teen girls of sexual misconduct, which brings his secret past to light. Based on a novel by best-selling author Jodi Picoult. Read the review here.
