Watch it

“Charlie Brown Christmas” (8 p.m., ABC). Chuck rails against commercialism and Linus gets biblical. But hey, it’s a classic. Hey, could you pass over a Dolly Madison coconut cream pie while you’re at it?

“Disney’s Prep & Landing” (8:30 p.m., ABC). It’s tough to join the ranks of Christmas-special classics, but this one sounds better than most: It’s about a couple of inept elf commandos who prepare roofs for Santa’s landings, scanning cookies for peanuts (Santa’s allergic) and fending off dogs. Kinda like the Navy SEALs of the North Pole.

“Scrubs” (9 p.m., ABC). The season’s first two episodes last week didn’t wow me – or by my very unscientific poll, very many other people. This might be the make-or-break episode on whether or not to keep watching.

“Better Off Ted” (9:30 p.m., ABC). Season premiere. I’m excited, I never though it’d get renewed for a second season. Tonight, the company tries to save health insurance costs by matching up employees by genetic compatability. (Better hope your company’s HR manager isn’t watching.) Pity poor Linda, she gets stuck with guest star Taye Diggs.

Record it

“Dinner With the Band” (8 p.m., IFC). This is a quirky little show worth checking out, especially if you like indie music and food. Tonight’s guest is Brooklyn-based band Les Savy Sav.

“Chopped” (9 p.m., Food Network). It’s a holiday-themed cooking challenge, and ingredients include venison and marshmallows. Mmmm, together, I hope!

“Daily Show” (11 p.m., Comedy Central). Former presidential candidate and Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is the guest. The big question: Will Jon Stewart grill him over freeing that nutjob who ended up killing those four police officers in Washington last week?

Skip it

Oh, anything on MTV or VH1.
