Tonight's TV Hot List: Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2008

Whitney: From The Hills to The City
10 pm/ET MTV
Maybe it's the never-ending drama surrounding her cast mates that has Whitney Port, the least dramatic (and most likable) of the bunch, running from The Hills to The City. Or maybe it's that hot Aussie Jay? Either way, she's about to star in her own spin-off that's set in the Big Apple. But first, she's looking back on her years in L.A., from her internship at Teen Vogue to her work at People's Revolution, and all the highs and lows in between. Even after she moves, we suspect the drama will never be too far away, especially with a camera crew and plenty of male models running around. — Karen Andzejewicz

The New Adventures of Old Christine
8 pm/ET CBS
Megan Mullally will likely bring smiles to viewers but not to Christine and Barb when she guest stars tonight. That's because the always hilarious Mullally plays a business representative named Margaret who informs the pair that they have broken a contractual clause with their gym's parent company and may lose their franchise. — Tim Holland

Dirty Sexy Money
10:01 pm/ET ABC
While the Darlings lead an overall charmed life, it's not a life without danger. Tonight Patrick realizes that when Chase threatens to go public with a murder accusation against him. Could the newly elected senator be headed to jail instead of Washington, D.C.? Meanwhile, Karen stops by Nick's place looking to make peace with him and instead finds something totally unexpected: an intruder with a gun. — Jennifer Sankowski

Little Spirit: Christmas in New York
8 pm/ET NBC
'Tis the season for family-friendly animated holiday specials — always an occasion for buttering up the popcorn and serving up the hot chocolate. In this brand-new one, holiday cheer and heart-tugging nostalgia blend when a kind cabbie (voice of Danny DeVito) relates the tale of a boy (voice of Michael Hall D'Addario) who is new to Manhattan. This tyke has a doggone dilemma: He's lost his beloved pooch, so he takes a magical odyssey to find his best bud, taking in the wondrous cityscapes — and reaching out to a mystical creature for help. The voice cast includes Lucy Liu, Freddy Rodriguez, Brian Williams and Brenda Song, and Duncan Sheik provides the music. — Dean Maurer
