C'mon down!

Bob Barker celebrates his 90th birthday by popping back to "The Price Is Right" (10 a.m., WCCO, Ch. 4) for one episode to host a very special showcase and to make sure that current host Drew Carey has been neutered.

Toys R Us

Parents eager to start introducing their young ones to the classics could do a lot worse than having a family viewing of 1961's "Babes in Toyland" (7:30 p.m., Hallmark Movie Channel), the Ray Bolger vehicle based on Victor Herbert's operetta. However, I suggest keeping them away from the former Minneapolis punk band, Babes in Toyland, until they are at least 9.

Let's talk about sex

Conan O'Brien talks to Adam Levine about being named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" when the singer stops by "Conan" (10 p.m., TBS). That's followed by O'Brien consoling the night's other big guest, Tim Conway, who can't believe he was overlooked again.
