Moon Shot

Which one of “The Amazing Race: Family Edition” teams mooned another? Who got mooned? Could it have been the Linz kids from Anderson Township? We’ll find out tonight on “TAR: Family Edition” (9 pm, Ch 12). The Linz family again starts out second tonight as teams go searching for the World’s Largest Office Chair somewhere in Alabama. Wonder if "TAR" teams will ever leave the US? Do you miss seeing the teams travel through foreign countries?

Conan’s boss
This is always one of my most fun nights of the year. Rick Ludwin, the NBC vice president who supervises Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and SNL (and 1970 Miami grad), makes his annual trip to Miami Unviersity in Oxford to chat with students. His Sunday night presentations are always filled with great TV insights (a year ago he explained how Ashlee Simpson had screwed up the night before on SNL). His topic this year: “Conan O’Brien: Then and Now.”
Lecture is free and open to public at 7 p.m. Sunday in Williams Hall, under the TV tower on Oak St. (near Spring St.)

Kiese-watching
Good cover story on “My Name Is Earl” in USA Today. "Earl" would be a huge ratings hit if not up against "TAR" and "Commander in Chief. at 9 p.m. tonight. Here’s the link:
