TV: Best bets

10:26 AM CST on Monday, November 6, 2006

ANTIQUES ROADSHOW The new 10th-anniversary episode, "Roadshow Remembers," mines the show's own treasure chests to revisit some of its greatest hits. One woman discovers that her great-grandparents' collection of Frank Lloyd Wright drawings and letters is worth as much as $125,000. Another is thrilled to learn a small bust she was given is by Harlem Renaissance artist Augusta Savage and worth at least $15,000. (N/CC/TVG) (1 hr.) (7 p.m. Ch. 13)

HEROES Hang in there, Hiro. A dangerous situation fails to bring out the best in Hiro (Masi Oka), and he questions whether he truly deserves his hero status. Elsewhere, a crisis with her son (Noah Gray-Cabey) has Niki (Ali Larter) confiding in a friend, and Matt and Audrey's (Greg Grunberg, Clea Duvall) pursuit of Sylar takes a strange turn. Adrian Pasdar and Hayden Panettiere also star in the new episode "Nothing to Hide." (N/CC/HDTV/TV14) (1 hr.) (8 p.m. Ch. 5)

DA ALI G SHOW Sure, the Borat movie opened over the weekend, but this is where it really began. Sacha Baron Cohen's (a.k.a. Ali G., Borat and Bruno) one-of-a-kind HBO comedy will air eight back-to-back episodes Monday from 8 p.m. until midnight, and four more episodes will run Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m. (4 hrs.) (8 p.m. HBO)

EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS The versatile Jason Alexander guest stars as the new principal at Chris' (Tyler James Williams) school, who pairs Chris up with his nemesis, Caruso (Travis Flory), as buddies on a field trip to help them learn to get along. (N/CC/HDTV/TVPG) (30 mins.) (7 p.m. Ch. 33)

ALL OF US It's Dad's birthday, but the kids are getting the surprise. In the new episode "The Courtship of Robert's Father," Robert and his sister (Duane Martin, Tisha Campbell-Martin) give their father (Glynn Turman) a 60th birthday present that comes with a shocking revelation: They are not really siblings. This opens up some interesting possibilities for the show, especially since Duane and Tisha are husband and wife in real life. (N/CC/HDTV/TVPG) (30 mins.) (7:30 p.m. Ch. 33)

NFL FOOTBALL There's apparently one person in the world who thought the Oakland Raiders would be a good watch this season; why else would they be making their third appearance on national TV? Is Randy Moss so engaging that in order to catch his act, fans have to put up with the rest of his Just lose, baby! teammates? At least the Seahawks are on the other side of the ball tonight with players who are worthy of attention. (Live) (CC/HDTV) (3 hrs.) (7:30 p.m. ESPN)

STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP The gang is off to a tiny town in Nevada to rescue Tom (Nathan Corddry), who's landed in jail there. The fact that they're from a television show won't carry much weight with the judge (guest star John Goodman), who's not a fan. Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, Steven Weber and Bradley Whitford also star. (N/CC/HDTV Part 1 of 2/TV14) (1 hr.) (9 p.m. Ch. 5)

1776 Clever writing and perfect casting – William Daniels, Howard da Silva and Ken Howard seem born to the roles of John Adams, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson – make this 1972 musical one of the best based-on-actual-events flicks ever. The actual events, of course, are the drafting, debating and signing of the Declaration of Independence. (3 hrs.) (7 p.m. TCM)

ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW It's not your mother's romantic comedy, but this 2005 film's writer, director and star, performance artist Miranda July, is not your father's leading lady. Her character, Christine, is – surprise! – a performance artist who forges a tentative bond with Richard (John Hawkes), a shoe salesman who just got out of his marriage. (CC/HDTV) (1 hr. 30 mins.) (8:30 p.m. SHOW)
