Shopping for the insatiable on ‘Buying for Billionaires’ BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Remember Christmas? A festival of peace on earth? Family? Contentment? Well folks, Christmas was so yesterday! “Buying for Billionaires” (9 p.m., E!) follows personal shoppers for the ultra-wealthy and irrationally demanding. Nicole works for an Internet entrepreneur who obsesses about a website-launching event. Nicole must accessorize her boss with the ultimate “I have arrived” statement. I’m just not sure if it’s about her arriving at the party, or arriving at her exalted station in life, a place where she has people like Nicole to boss around. Rest assured, after plenty of manufactured drama — much of it transpiring in a $20,000-a-day suite in a Beverly Hills Hotel — Nicole comes up with a custom-made diamond-encrusted handbag. We also meet Deborah, who provides caviar to a demanding cli-
entele with deep pockets and a taste for salty sturgeon eggs; and Melissa, a wine dealer with clients willing to pay $250 to $500,000 a bottle. Deborah says she has a wine cellar “fit for a king,” because many of her customers are just that. • Speaking of aristocrats, ABC News presents “A Special Edition of 20/20 — Mysteries of the Castle: Beyond Downton Abbey” (9 p.m., ABC), a look at the real castle that has become an essential part of the hit PBS show imported from the UK. “Mysteries” looks at the trouble it takes to maintain these ancient piles. It’s nice to have a hit show use your house and ground for its set. Other castle owners have stooped to selling souvenirs in the basement and outfitting their places for reality television. The Dowager Countess would not approve.
Tonight’s Other Highlights • Exactly whose mil-
itary is the Military Channel extolling when they air “Nazis vs. Aliens” (8 p.m., Military, r)? I would have preferred a repeat of “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.” • On two episodes of “Glee” (Fox, r, TV-14), over-scheduled (8 p.m.), life imitates a terrible British romcom (9 p.m.). • “How it’s Made” (9 p.m., Science) visits an air conditioner factory. • Deep and crisp and even on “Elementary” (10 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14).
Series Notes Dungeons and dragons on “Big Bang Theory” (8 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14) * On two episodes of “Parks and Recreation” (NBC, r, TV-14), London calling (8 p.m.), Tom pursues a lead (8:30 p.m.) * Dressing up the dogs on “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC, r, TV-14) *
Party time on “Vampire Diaries” (8 p.m., CW, r, TV-14) * On three helpings of “The Millers” (CBS, r, TV14), therapy (8:30 p.m.), the plot thickens (9 p.m.), a parent trap (9:30 p.m.) * A period of adjustment on “Sean Saves the World” (9 p.m., NBC, r, TV-14) * Francis and Mary make a show of affection on “Reign” (9 p.m., CW, r, TV-14) * Anchors away on “The Michael J. Fox Show” (9:30 p.m., NBC, r, TV-14) * Adult children squabble on “Parenthood” (10 p.m., NBC, r, TV-14).
Cult Choice A mild-mannered daydreamer (Danny Kaye) lives an adventurous vicarious life in the 1947 comedy “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” (8 p.m., TCM). Based on a 1939 short story by James Thurber, a “Mitty” remake, star-
ring Ben Stiller, opened yesterday.
Late Night Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, Melissa Rauch and Deer Tick are on “Conan” (11 p.m., TBS, r) * Evangeline Lilly, Jeff Wild, Loni Love and Ryan Stout are booked on “Chelsea Lately” (11 p.m., E!) * Howard Stern and Adrienne Iapalucci appear on “Late Show with David Letterman” (11:35 p.m., CBS) * Bette Midler and Michael Buble are on “The Tonight Show” (11:35 p.m., NBC, r) * Carey Mulligan, Scott Foley and Jeff Campbell appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (11:35 p.m., ABC, r) * Drew Carey and Pamela Silva are on “The Late Late Show” (12:35 a.m., CBS, r).
