Monday's Best Bets on TV

“Shrek the Halls” (8 p.m., ABC): Based on the solid ratings it generated last year, “Shrek the Halls” just might become a new holiday tradition, joining Rudolph, Frosty, and Charlie Brown in the inner circle. The goofy green grouch returns for more frivolity tonight.

“Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (8:32 p.m., ABC): Speaking of green grouches, “Dr.Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” is back, and our flinty fur ball is probably still mistreating that poor little dog of his.

“Steve Fossett: What Went Wrong?” (10 p.m., Discovery): Billionaire adventurer Steve Fossett had broken more than 100 world records. But on Sept. 3, 2007, he was reported missing after the plane he was flying over the Nevada desert failed to return. He was declared legally dead last February. Then, on Sept. 29, a hiker in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., found the first evidence: some of Fossett’s personal effects. A Discovery Channel crew shooting in the area was alerted. With footage of those recovered items (including $1,000 in cash and a glider license), the story of what happened is detailed in “Steve Fossett: What Went Wrong?”
