BEST BETS FOR SUNDAY, MAR. 14, 2010

	WHERE THE BOYS ARE TCM, 6 p.m. ET Why recommend a fluff spring-break movie that is now 50 years old? First, because it’s a spring-break movie that’s 50 years old. Second, because of all the sights in this G-rated Fort Lauderdale girls’ getaway film, about the only places still standing are the beach (though it looks completely different) and the Elbo Room (which looks frighteningly the same). Oh, and third? Two words: Yvette Mimieux.
	MINUTE TO WIN IT NBC, 7 p.m. ET SERIES PREMIERE: This is a tacky, tossaway TV series, but I’m recommending a quick look at it anyway. You may be amazed by it as I am, because what this show is, with the addition of some flashy lighting and flashy models, is a cheap update of one of the cheapest game shows in TV history: Beat the Clock, which premiered 60 years ago, doing the exact same cheapo stunts and obvious product placement. Tonight, for example: a woman moves an Oreo across her face! Ah, the glories of broadcast network television.
	GOLDFINGER BBC America, 8 p.m. ET No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to watch. This James Bond movie, starring Sean Connery as the first and still best cinematic 007, was made four years after Where the Boys Are – yet it all still works. Beautifully. And the manner of one inventive murder? Pure gold.
	DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES ABC, 9 p.m. ET Gaby goes to New York, and runs into former fellow models – including Heidi Klum.
	THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE NBC, 9 p.m. ET SERIES RETURN: The two-hour opener hits all the notes you’d expect it to: Rod Blagojevich doesn’t exactly blend, and Sharon Osbourne and Cyndi Lauper don’t exactly mesh. But this first task, which has the teams into serving (and preparing) lunch at a diner, is like a celebrity version of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. Without Gordon Ramsay, but with.. once again… Joan Rivers, this time as an unexpected drop-in judge. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
	THE PACIFIC HBO, 9 p.m. ET MINISERIES PREMIERE: Not to be missed. See today’s BIANCULLI’S BLOG for details, but here’s an additional one: Joe Mazzello, who stars as Eugene Sledge, is familiar from a previous Steven Spielberg production, but from 1997, when, at 13, he was half the age he is now. He played the grandson of the founder of Jurassic Park.
