'Glen Martin' to debut Monday on Nick at Night

Nick at Nite debuts a new stop-motion animated series, "Glenn Martin, DDS," at 7 p.m. Monday. Kevin Nealon gives voice to the title character, a dentist who takes his family on a road trip - in a mobile home embellished with a giant toothbrush on top. Former Second City trouper Peter Oldring is teen son Conor, and DePaul theater product Judy Greer is precocious daughter Courtney, with the great Catherine O'Hara as the mom.

'Degrassi Goes Hollywood'

The Canadian teen soap opera "Degrassi" continues its expansionist bid to take over the world when "Degrassi Goes Hollywood"; it's the first original two-hour movie to run on the N, Nickelodeon's teen spinoff channel. Series faves Paige, Marco, Ellie and Craig return alongside the current "Degrassi" cast, augmented by cameos by Hollywood iconoclasts Kevin Smith and Perez Hilton. It's at 7 p.m. Friday on the N.

Back on the 'Runway'

Having jumped networks from Bravo to Lifetime, and survived a resulting set of lawsuits, Heidi Klum's often-knocked-off, never-run-off "Project Runway" finally returns next Thursday, and it's a gala event. The night begins with former contestants taking part in an "All-Star Challenge" at 7, followed by the two-hour debut of season six at 8, then a last look at "Models of the Runway" at 10.

Banzai, Buckaroo!

Bordering between pure camp and hyper-cool, "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai" (formerly "... Across the Eighth Dimension," but since shortened) finds Peter Weller playing the title character, a rock-star-cum-surgeon-cum-comic-book-superhero. It's so over-the-top you'll either love it or hate it, especially with John Lithgow chewing the scenery as the main villain, but Ellen Barkin is in her prime as Buckaroo's love interest. It's at 8:15 p.m. today on the Independent Film Channel.
