Acoustic Weezer

So many things to love about Rivers Cuomo, above, and his mates in Weezer. The band's Snuggie. The pomp to name its newest disc "Raditude." And its new single, the pop-rock gem that is "(If You Are Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To." But for some real fun, check out the band's YouTube channel, where an acoustic version of "I Want You To" featuring Sara Bareilles resides. It's almost more enjoyable than the album version.

Brian and Ericka

"The Amazing Race" takes on added interest this season with Team Yellow, aka Brian Kleinschmidt and Ericka Dunlap. Dunlap, Miss America 2004, shows a less-regal side as the stress of this race around the world takes its toll. It's riveting to watch, especially if you remember her taking the crown. This is a side of her you never saw in Atlantic City. 8 tonight, KYW-TV 3

'Moving Numbers'

In an odd piece of timing, Zolitics.com has decided to offer its first batch of original programming after the election. "Moving Numbers" stars Peter McCain as campaign manager Jason Mahoney, who is heading up the Senate campaign of Pennsylvania Congress-man Bob Sanders (John Colten). Episode one, which posted last week, is hit-or-miss. But with shades of "The West Wing," this could grow into quite the guilty pleasure. Check it out at Zolitics.com

'Up'

When Carl Fredricksen, a 78-year-old widow, is forced to move out of the home he shared for more than 50 years with his beloved wife, Ellie, he takes to the sky. But it's not in a plane, but rather with tens of thousands of helium balloons attached to his longtime home. Along for the ride is a stowaway, 8-year-old wilderness explorer Russell. Traipsing around a ravine in South America with the child, a rare bird and a speaking dog, grouchy old Carl (voiced by Ed Asner) encounters more problems than he ever imagined. But once the dust settles, Carl unexpectedly learns the meaning of love all over again. "Up" is available on DVD Tuesday.
