Stuffed

The Travel Channel is hosting a feast for its favorite chef. The network is turning over the entire day to "Anthony Bourdain No Reservations," starting with fan favorites, a special ("What Were We Thinking," 8 p.m.) and the show's 100th episode (9 p.m.), in which Bourdain returns to Paris, the destination of his very first episode. Tums not included.

Key to the city

If Rudy Giuliani ever decides to make another run for the White House, he'd be smart to open every political rally with "Giuliani's 9/11" (8 p.m., National Geographic), a near-reverent examination of how Giuliani took control on that fateful day and was eventually named Time's Man of the Year.

The killing fields

Despite its tabloidish title, "I Married the Beltway Sniper" (9 p.m., MSNBC) manages to be an effective, professional documentary about the two men who held the Washington, D.C., area at bay in 2002 through a series of random shootings. Eyewitnesses, family members, reporters and criminal profilers are among those interviewed.
