Survey says …

Even after 30 seasons, "Family Feud" (6:30 p.m., WUCW, Ch. 23) remains one of the most entertaining and challenging game shows around, especially with Steve Harvey, the best host since Richard Dawson. Check out this fresh episode featuring Minneapolis' own Turnberg family, including Michelle Turnberg, a former news anchor from the Fargo-Moorhead area.

Model behavior

Naomi Campbell keeps her infamous temper in check — at least long enough to help kick off "The Face" (8 p.m., Oxygen), a seven-episode series in which women compete in contests that more than slightly resemble what is seen on "America's Next Top Model."

What's happening on the Hill

They're calling it the "Year of the Woman" in Washington, D.C., as 20 females now are serving in the Senate, a record. Julie Nelson finds out if the title is apt when she interviews North Dakota's Heidi Keitkamp, Wisconsin's Tammy Baldwin and, of course, Minnesota's Amy Klobuchar for a special feature during the "KARE 11 News" (10 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11).
