Miss Match: Chris Haston

MONDAY

DECEMBER 15

10-11PM Miss Match (NBC, TV-PG) Never thought you'd see the golf-club-flinging, green-food-hating, ''Average Joe''-losing Tareq Kabir again? Well, the 21-year-old gets another shot at TV stardom tonight as Sanjay, a traditional Indian doctor betrothed to a modern Indian woman who doesn't dig him. ''I was interested in the character to demonstrate the contrast of how families become when there is a cultural shift,'' says Kabir (left, with Alicia Silverstone and Lake Bell), who claims to be ''not as weird as people think.'' So, did he put the moves on Alicia? ''No. I'd already gone 0-for-1 on national TV so I couldn't risk it.'' -- Jessica Shaw

8-9PM Fear Factor (NBC, TV-PG) Two words: reindeer testicles. Oh, yeah, one other word: barf. (R)

9-10PM Entertainer of the Year (E!, TV-PG) Oh, like you could actually go on with life without knowing who will be crowned the 2003 Box Office Rebel of the Year. Who are we kidding here?

SERIES DEBUT 10-11PM Guess Who's Coming to Decorate (Style, TV-PG) Yogi Bear? I have no idea. What? It's old friends and family showing up to redecorate someone's house, you say? Hmmm. I think I like the Yogi Bear idea better. Remember, he is smarter than the average bear.

10-11PM CSI: Miami (CBS, TV-14-V) A girlfriend agrees to be kidnapped so that she can experience the ultimate high of being rescued by her boyfriend. Only she's not rescued. And not feeling too high about anything. She's dead.
