Something tells me their engagement isn't quite 'fair'

SEASON PREMIERE
9-9:30PM
My Fair Brady (VH1, TV-14-LS) Yes, Adrianne Curry sets women back decades by whinily, weepily trapping her shell-shocked boyfriend/Surreal Life castmate Peter Brady (apparently called Christopher Knight in ''real life'') into marriage. But there is something strangely compelling about watching this foulmouthed Top Model morph back into the girl from blue-collar Joliet, Ill., who just wants to get hitched. And the trips home to plan the ceremony — with meals in strip malls and awkward moments with her divorced parents — are, if nothing else, pricelessly ''real'' enough for diversionary viewing. B-Jennifer Armstrong

5PM-CONCLUSION
NASCAR 2006: Coca-Cola 600 (Fox) Why 600? Is that miles? Number of calories in four cans of Coke? People at EW staff writer Margeaux Watson's birthday extravaganza? Yes.

7-8PM
Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom: Global Wolf (Animal Planet, TV-G) The Animal Planet people want us to stop fearing wolves. I think we all know whose side they're on.

8-9:30PM
Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie (Showtime, TV-14-DL) Kathy Kinney, Larry Gelbart, Blake Clark, and Kyle Dunnigan do the Bob Hope thing for troops in Iraq.

GUEST STAR
8-9:30PM
National Memorial Day Concert (PBS, TV-G) Duke's of Hazzard's John Schneider makes an appearance. Look at that face. Still dreamy.

8:30-9PM
Nick News With Linda Ellerbee: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow — Celebrating 15 Years of Nick News (Nickelodeon, TV-G) ...with our longest title ever!

9-10PM
Inside the Actors Studio (Bravo, TV-PG-L) Tonight's guest...Tim Allen. You know what? I'm not even going to say anything. They know what they did.

9-10PM
Law & Order: Criminal Intent (NBC, TV-14) That one with Ethan Embry all buff and 'roid-rageous, which sorta ruined the whole Can't Hardly Wait experience. I mean, we got tired of having sand kicked in our faces, too, but you don't see us answering back-of-the-comics ads...anymore. (R)

10-11PM
SuperGroup (VH1, TV-14) Well, they're a group. There's no arguing that.

SERIES DEBUT
11PM-1AM
Mansionpoker.net Poker Dome Challenge (FSN) Still not a sport, no matter what my mom or Fox says. And since when have I ever listened to either of them?
