Best Bets on TV Tonight

The discovery of an inmate's body under a prison inspires the playing of Johnny Cash songs on this episode of "Cold Case" (8 p.m. CBS).
If you've been holding your breath waiting for a modern version of Washington Irving's spooky tale of the Headless Horseman, you may exhale. Tonight is the debut of "The Hollow" (8 p.m., ABC Family), an original thriller starring Kevin Zegers, Kaley Cuoco and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.
Between helping needy relatives, foster children and disabled people, and supporting all this with her beauty parlor, Consuela Mackey finally gets some help with her own home on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" (8 p.m., ABC).
So many ugly cars, so many rides to pimp. The automobile renovation series "Pimp My Ride" (9 p.m., MTV) returns for a new season. It transforms participants' hunks of junk into styling mobiles, complete with custom details such as fish tanks and even a mini basketball court.
On "Desperate Housewives" (9 p.m., ABC), Susan's mean old neighbor tries to blackmail her about the fire. Poor Susan may be an arsonist, but she'd never stoop so low as to blackmail someone.
Homeowners who dress up their dwellings for Halloween are profiled on "Extreme Halloween" (9 p.m. HGTV).
"The Surreal Life" (10 p.m., VH1) gets even more, well, surreal, as Charo, Flavor Flav, Bridgette Nielsen and the other housemates are called upon to work the graveyard shift in "Haunted Hospital." Their challenge is to "cleanse the spirits," guided by Larry Montz, a psychologist of the paranormal.
