It's Day 16 of the writers' strike and there's no end in sight.

That means Howie Mandel and the cloth-deprived models of "Deal or No Deal" (7 p.m., KOB-Channel 4) will be working overtime to destroy my love of TV.

Game shows, reality shows and reruns are going to start populating the world.

It's the beginning of the end.

Celebrate the night before Thanksgiving with a two-hour episode of the worst game show ever.

DaKenya McDuffy of Indianapolis will play for the top prize of $1 million as she tries to avoid the "turkeys" since the five lowest cases have been replaced with gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, pumpkin pie and a turkey.

I'm getting very, very hungry.

Then some doofus from Massachusetts turns down record-breaking offers when he plays for the top prize of $2 million.

Is your heart beating faster yet?

The live-action film "Ben 10: Race Against Time" (9 p.m., Cartoon Network) centers on young Ben Tennyson (Graham Phillips) coming back home from summer vacation, and having trouble adjusting to normal life again.

He has spent his vacation morphing into a butt-kicking superhero, and so school is really not all that fun for him.

Poor little Ben now gets picked on by snotty girls and mean boys; worst of all, he gets signed up for a talent contest by his cousin.

The excitement kicks up a notch when a helmeted alien named Eon (Christien Anholt) arrives with plans to open a time rift from Earth to his own galaxy. He hopes this will allow his race to conquer Earth.

Eon is somehow connected to the Omnitrix (the source of Ben's power), and his presence causes it to stop working, making Ben's attempts to activate it futile.

So basically, we're all going to die, unless a pipsqueak tween with a super-powered watch-thingy can save us.

I totally feel safe.
