Sunday Fans wouldn't be pining for a "Bosom Buddies" reunion if it wasn't for the fact that one of the sitcom's cross-dressers would go on to win two Oscars. Yes, Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari are back together for "The 8th Annual TV Land Awards" (8 p.m. TVL), which also features a tribute to Farrah Fawcett from her former "Charlie's Angels" co-stars, a tribute to "The Love Boat" and a performance by Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks. Tim Allen hosts.

Monday In "Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern" (9 p.m., Travel), the Minnesota host enters his fourth season of eating stuff that would burn the inner linings of a normal man's stomach. In this episode, the Iron Giant visits rural Thailand and discovers that there's more than pad thai on the menu.

Tuesday Whitney Port continues in her quest to be a fashion designer -- er, I mean, reality star -- in the second season of "The City" (9:30 p.m., MTV). Port gets her own show during New York Fashion Week, but must still make sure the cameras don't spend too much time focusing on her fast-track friends. If this is the future of fashion, I'm going back to overalls.

Wednesday "Twin Cities Live" co-host John Hanson gets a blink-or-you'll-miss-him appearance as Doctor No. 1 on "General Hospital" (2 p.m., KSTP, Ch. 5). Despite the fact that he has no dialogue or make-out scenes, I'll be "critiquing" his performance on "Twin Cities Live" (3 p.m., KSTP, Ch. 5), which will also feature Hanson's interview with soap star Brianna Brown, a Minneapolis native.

Thursday "Fringe" (8 p.m., KMSP, Ch. 9) takes a page from fellow Fox series "Glee" when Walter (John Noble) wigs out and imagines the rest of the Division in a song-and-dance fairy tale. Sounds good to us, as long as they don't break into Madonna songs.
