How will you (or did you) celebrate your 40th birthday? With a divorce? That's what appears to be in the cards for a woman named Tonya from Nashville, Tenn., whose marriage seems to be faltering after 20 years. Instead, on the reality show "The Big 4-0" (10 p.m. EDT on TV Land), her three friends plan a tropical vacation for her that's anything but tragic. Hurray for midlife-crisis television!
The USS Nimitz finally leaves the Persian Gulf and then runs into a storm in the Indian Ocean on "Carrier" (9 p.m. EDT on PBS, check listings), while spy sensation "MI-5" airs at 9 p.m. on BBC America. The cheftestants have to microwave a healthy meal on "Top Chef" (10 p.m. on Bravo), and "Man Caves" explains how to make the perfect basement space for your manimal ... er, husband (10 p.m. on DIY).
What did you think of the "Work Out" pageant on Tuesday? Go here to discuss.
