Sunday Teri Hatcher has never been shy about baring skin, but on this season of "Desperate Housewives" (8 p.m., KSTP, Ch. 5) she's wearing less clothes than Lady Gaga. You see, Susan has fallen on hard times, forcing her into the soft-core sex industry and reminding us, as she did on "Seinfeld," that "they're real and they're spectacular."
Monday For the eighth time, Jon Stewart and the gang are hitting the road, this time for "When Grizzlies Attack: The Daily Show Midterm Teapartyganza" (10 p.m., Comedy), broadcasting from Washington, D.C., through Thursday at the Shakespeare Theatre Company's Sidney Harman Hall (Does that mean Stephen Colbert will recite from "Hamlet"?). The event culminates with a National Mall rally on Saturday.
Tuesday So you think you can dance ... but not in front of a live audience. You're perfect for "Dance Cam Slam" (9 p.m., VH1), a new series in which contestants show off their footwork via webcam. The winner gets $5,000. Sounds comforting -- until you hear a knock on the door and find Bruno Tonioli on your porch, ready to assess your pathetic performance.
Wednesday Even the most diehard entertainment fans can't compete with Joe Maddalena, an avid collector of movie and TV memorabilia. In his new series "Hollywood Treasure" (9 p.m., Syfy) he does his best impression of Indiana Jones, exploring the world for such valuable items as the carpet bag from "Mary Poppins," the Wicked Witch's hat from "The Wizard of Oz," the bottle from "I Dream of Jeannie" and Mary Ann's wardrobe from "Gilligan's Island."
Thursday Apparently Shrek is not done ogre-ing. "Scared Shrekless" (7 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11) revolves around a scary-story contest with all the familiar voices back. Make that almost all the familiar voices. Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas all pitched in, but Eddie Murphy did not pipe in (must be too busy filming "Meet Dave 2"). Dean Edwards fills in as the voice of Donkey.
