To Do: The Last Debate Threatens ABC's Ratings Surge
1. In what is sure to be the only televised event capable of dethroning ratings juggernaut Desperate Housewives from the Nielsen throne, the third and final presidential debate airs at 6 p.m. PST. We're confident that this time both candidates will be thoroughly frisked for radio transmitters that might assist their performance. But we suppose we'll never know if the technology manages to game the inspections.
2. The 5-day visual-arts/filmmaking party/throwdown that is ResFest LA begins tonight at the Egyptian.
3. Ageless wonders REM take the stage at the Greek Theater. Well, if you consider skinny, sallow rock stars to be "ageless," Michael Stipe certainly won't disappoint.
