OK, they're not really sisters, but Melanie Metz and Peggy Willenberg, the storm chasers featured in WE's new reality series, "Twister Sisters" (10 p.m. EST), look like they could be. According to the show's Web site, the pair met on a Web site for Minnesota storm chasers and joined together to track tornadoes throughout the Midwest. Four years ago, they started their own business, the Twister Sisters Tornado Tour Co., to bring clients along in their pursuit of big storms. It's hard to believe that such a business could even exist, let alone that some TV cameras could capture the whole twisted spectacle. Maybe it means we're seriously depraved, but we can't wait to see this show.

Also…

Frontline's "Inside the Teenage Brain" (9 p.m. EST on PBS, check listings) explains some of the neurological changes -- and challenges -- for that demon living in your home, while "Jon & Kate Plus 8," a reality series about a couple with two 6-year-olds (twins) and six 2-year-olds (sextuplets), will make you count your blessings. The Independent Lens series continues with "The Paper," a documentary about Penn State's campus newspaper (10 p.m. EST on PBS, check listings), while on "Everest: Beyond the Limit" a team heads for the summit at midnight (10 p.m. EST on the Discovery Channel).
