Great white shark

Tuesday

Celebrity Family Feud

* 7 p.m., 9News

The show: How bad has it gotten for America's all-time favorite talk-show sidekick Ed McMahon? He brings his brood to Celebrity Family Feud, to compete against former New York Giants football star Tiki Barber and his crew. Another ex-jock, Deion Sanders, brings his family to face the Kardashian clan. The prize is no Publishers Clearing House jackpot, but somebody will win it.

Wednesday

Black in America

* 7 p.m., CNN

The show: CNN's documentary series continues to probe the question: Is the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. still alive 40 years after his assassination? The Black Woman & Family explores the varied experiences of black women and their families, while investigating the reasons behind disturbing statistics on single parenthood, disparities between black and white students in the classroom, and the devastating toll of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in black communities.

Thursday

Smallville

* 7 p.m., CW2

The show: A rerun worth seeing when you unwrap that next stick of Big Red: Former Smallville resident Pete Ross (Sam Jones III), now a roadie for a band, accidentally chews kryptonite-laced gum and gets superpowers. Clark and Chloe try to warn him about the effects, but Lex finds out and uses Pete for his nefarious schemes.

Friday

Sharkville

* 8 p.m., National Geographic Channel

The show: Zoologist Ryan Johnson learns new things as he studies the nighttime behavior of great whites in Mossel Bay, a shark-infested area off the southern coast of South Africa. Still probably not as racy as CBS' Swingtown.

Saturday

Wonderful World of Disney: Peter Pan

* 7 p.m., Denver's 7

The show: Disney's animated adaptation of J.M. Barrie's story about a boy who refuses to grow up. When all the hand-clapping is done you can watch the cartoon that did grow up - Futurama - (on Comedy Central) - all night.

Sunday

MythBusters

* 7 p.m., Discovery

The show: Speaking of sharks (see Friday), the team explores whether the scary fish are driven back by magnets, if dogs attract sharks and how the thrashings of an injured fish lure sharks. The team also builds a life-size robotic great white to see if a human could gouge the shark's eyes while being crushed in its jaws.
