- Tonight, Jesse Venture tackles the biggest Conspiracy Theory of them all: The JFK Assassination. He is said to have never-published CIA documents that could link the plot to the Watergate break-in and four US presidents. It airs tonight at 10:00 in TruTV.

- The latest HBO documentary premieres this Monday at 10:00. Public Speaking was directed by Martin Scorsese and is about legendary New York writer Fran Lebowitz. Here is the trailer:

- There have been plenty of iconic presidential photographs and next Wednesday PBS is turning the camera on those who take those pictures for The President’s Photographers: 50 Years in the Oval Office. And if you want to see those iconic shots, look out for the companion book, The President’s Photographer: Fifty Years inside the Oval Office on bookshelves now.

- Premiering this Sunday at 10 on the Discovery Channel is Brew Masters which “follows Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head Brewery and his partners as they travel in search of exotic ingredients and ancient techniques to produce beers of astounding originality.”

- The Beatles fans rejoice, the Fab Four in now available to download on iTunes. For the John fans, PBS is airing LENNONNYC on November 22 at 9:00 (check your local listings).

- Remember that Married with Children episode where Al gets a song stuck in his head but he can’t remember the name, just five notes? Too bad there wasn’t Shazam back in nineties, it can identify music anywhere then allow you to buy the song instantly and share with your Facebook friends. Shazam is available on iPhone, Android, Symbian, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile devices.

- Last week I predicted they had ran out of Reality TV subjects with the Hasselhoff show, but A&E decided to prove me wrong but announcing Strange Days with Bob Saget premiering Tuesday November 30 at 10:00 with back to back episode. I will only watch if Kimmy Gibbler shows up. In other A&E reality news, Gene Simmons Family Jewels returns Sunday December 5 at 9:00.
