What's new and/or interesting on TV this week.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Mon, 10PM-10:30PM, Food Network)
One of our favorite Food Network shows visits Philly again, this time in order to sample scrapple at a diner. Host Guy also visits other neighborhood joints in St. Louis and Virginia.
Live to Be 150... Can You Do It? (Tue, 10PM-11PM, ABC)
This Barbara Walters special report on aging takes a look at ways to increase longevity, and the social and economic implications of doing so. Also included are profiles of notable seniors. We like continuing to live, so we might have to check this out.
Lewis Black's Root of All Evil (Wed, 10:30PM-11PM, Comedy Central)
Patton Oswalt and Greg Giraldo debate which is more evil: YouTube or porn. But what about porn on YouTube?
Modern Marvels (Fri, 8PM-9PM, History Channel)
This episode takes a look at some of our favorite things: gadgets! Included are miniature mobile gadgets; the origins of the corkscrew, umbrella, and zipper; a tour of Brookstone; and visits with inventors.
Battlestar Galactica (Fri, 10PM-11PM, Sci Fi Channel)
At long last, the best sci-fi show on TV is back for its fourth and final season. In the opener, Starbuck's mysterious return in the middle of a Cylon attack unhinges the crew, and Anders has a surprising encounter with a Cylon raider. If you miss the episode's first airing, don't worry; they're playing it again Sunday night at 11PM.
Egypt's Ten Greatest Discoveries & Why Ancient Egypt Fell (Sun, 8PM-11PM, Discovery Channel)
Discovery Channel has a couple of interesting new specials Sunday night. First up is a two-hour program which features host Zahi Hawass and a team of archaeologists picking the ten most important finds made in Egypt. This combines two of our favorite things: Ancient Egypt and top ten lists! Also, we love Zahi Hawass. The second hour-long program features archaeologists trying to determine what could have caused the collapse of the powerful Egyptian empire.
