Star Trek on History and The O.C.on FoxStar Trek: Beyond the Final Frontier (Mon., 9PM ET, History)
Space ... it's still the final frontier. Watching this special celebrating 40 years of Star Trek, I'm struck by how forward-looking the show was. Sure, the uniforms were totally '60s and the plots were super cheesy, but the concepts were light years ahead of their time. Mr. Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy, narrates, with stars William Shatner, Patrick Stewart and Kate Mulgrew sharing insights into their various incarnations of Trek. Plus, see footage from last October's auction of Trek memorabilia.

American Idol (Tue., 8PM ET, Fox)
Is it just me or are this year's top 24 contestants almost completely unmemorable? Looking over their photos, I strained to recall each one. Actually, one did stand out -- the beatboxing guy, Blake. But can he sing? I think the judges were right in saying this season is more up for grabs than any since season one. This week, experience six hours of Idol overload, with the top 12 boys performing tonight, the girls taking their turn tomorrow and a two-hour results show Thursday. Phew!

Trading Spouses on FoxTrading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy (9PM, Fox)
The God Warrior is back! Yes, folks, Marguerite Perrin, who infamously melted down last season, returns for another trade. This is the woman who vomited (caused by the "dark side"), screamed that her host family was "ungodly" and declared the show and its money "tainted." Perrin later accepted the cash, of course, and spent it on gastric bypass surgery. Now, she's 94 pounds lighter, but still a warrior.

NBC wants another game show with many people

So it looks like 26 stunning models holding briefcases just isn't enough people on the stage for NBC.

The network -- who seems to have a hit with Deal Or No Deal, even though it seems to be on every day -- is bringing another game show from across the pond to the U.S. 1 vs. 100 is a hit in several other countries already. This show has one contestant sitting down in front of 100 people who ask him trivia questions. The longer he goes on and eliminates some of the 100, his money increases. He'll also, of course, be able to quit and take the money at any point (hmmm...sounds like DOND).

The prize if he makes it all the way? $3 million dollars, the biggest prize on a regular U.S. game show. But, wow, how long does one game take? Answering questions from 100 people?
