MULTIPLE BIRTHS
THE impending birth of quintuplets (and the surgeries on the newborns are certain to follow) preoccupy the surgeons, but not completely: Burke (Isaiah Washington) gives Cristina (Sandra Oh) a key to his apartment. Izzie (Katherine Heigl) and Alex (Justin Chambers) are having an “intimate” problem. The hit ABC series has just been nominated for 11 Emmy awards.

HELMET HEAD AND THE DRAG QUEENS
LIKE Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan, John Force is the most accomplished figure in his sport – drag racing. With 120 career victories, Force has shattered every major record in his field. But you can’t make a TV show about a guy hunkered down in a race car going around in circles, so in “Driving Force,” viewers will also get insight into his family life. He has four daughters who range in age from 17 to 36. While the eldest daughter manages finances for her dad’s company, the other three Force girls have decided to compete in the racing world.

DOCUMENTARY
HELLO, GORGEOUS
THERE are the movie roles, but it is the still images – the iconic face, the expressions and poses – that contribute to our memory of Marilyn Monroe. She was, arguably, the most photographed person ever. “American Masters” now tells her story through such photographers as Eve Arnold, Arnold Newman, Elliott Erwitt, George Zimbel and Phil Stern, as well as the writers Norman Mailer and Gloria Steinem.
The photos of Marilyn Monroe provide an ageless testament to her grace, guts and sexiness as well as her humor and vulnerability. Monroe understood the power of the camera and she created, and later curated, her own image – lips puckered to the lens, she invited us to kiss her back.

PAGING MARVIN GAYE
THE EROTIC fantasies, hangups and frustrations of Americans are the subject of a candid new series called “Sexual Healing.” In an intensive workshop setting, therapist Dr. Laura Berman will treat real-life couples who are grappling with the issues of fidelity, desire and past sexual trauma. Berman will help the couples, who vary in age, marital status, ethnicity and even sexual preference, to work through communication problems and to reach their full sexual potential. The doctor has helped thousands of couples conquer intimacy issues over the last 18 years. The show will originate from The Berman Center, a treatment facility in Chicago.

TALK
PRETTY IN PINK
SINCE the sudden departure of the obnoxious Star Jones, “The View” has been importing gals from all over the media planet to substitute for the prickly former prosecutor. There was Brandy from “America’s Got Talent” and hellcat Shannen Doherty is waiting in the wings.
Before we brace ourselves for that difficult morning, Katharine McPhee, “American Idol” runner-up, recovering bulimic and singer of the current hit remake of “Over the Rainbow,” is scheduled to sit down for some girl talk with Barbara Walters, Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselback.
Count on the ladies to grill McPhee about throwing up.

CHILD OF SPIES
IF your parents were CIA operatives now serving time for treason, how would you atone for their sins? Well, you’d join the FBI, of course. That’s the premise of “Angela’s Eyes,” a new Lifetime series about a young woman with a typical detective series set-up. Her boss is hard-nosed, her colleagues are brilliant in a “CSI”-kind of way.
And her personal life is a mess. For one, her little brother is a pathological liar. And what about mom and dad? They’re still in touch – what a headache! “Angela’s Eyes” stars Abigail Spencer, Rick Roberts and Boyd Gaines.
