Chelsea Lately 11:30 p.m., E!

There's no one better at giving pop junkies their fix of informed snark than Chelsea Handler (above). She and her panelists eviscerate the celebrity royals, and yet she isn't a Hollywood pariah or a self-parody like Joan Rivers. Tonight she welcomes another one of my favorites, Amy Sedaris.

Swingtown Noon-1 a.m., Bravo

Let's say you have a cold today and you're looking for 13 straight hours of distraction. You could do a lot worse than this marathon of the first (and only) season of "Swingtown," the summer series about marriage and monogamy in 1976. Maybe when the DVD set comes out in December the show's creators will tell us how it all would have ended up. I bet there was divorce in store for some of our swinging spouses.
