The award-winning PBS show “Sesame Street” becomes the first TV series to be so recognized during tonight’s telecast; other honor- ees include actress Sally Field, singer Linda Ronstadt, conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and the R&B group Earth, Wind & Fire. 8 p.m. on CW The Christmas Caroler Challenge Dean Cain and TV personality Laura McKenzie host this six-episode holiday musical competition, which launches tonight with two back-to-back epi- sodes. The series introduces 12 out- standing caroling groups, each with its own distinctive style when it comes to performing some of the most beloved holiday songs ever written. 9 p.m. on HBO Watchmen In bringing the world of a DC Com- ics series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons to the small screen, series creator Damon Lindelof made what turned out to be a brilliant choice in making his show a continuation, not an adaptation, of the cult favorite. Season 1 has been a big hit with both critics and HBO subscribers, thanks in part to a brilliant cast led by Regina King, Jean Smart and Tim Blake Nel- son. Crossword solution (puzzle is on page 11)
