Staying In
TV picks: Being teen-agers on tour with a rock band isn't as cool as it sounds, when the band members are your parents doing a reunion tour of their popular 1980s rock group. That's the premise of MTV's first one-hour drama, Live Through This (10 p.m., MTV).
• TV Critic John Kiesewetter also says Survivor will be down to five castaways after today (8 p.m., Channels 12, 7).
Web site of the day: Set your joysticks on stun, then point your browser to www.planetquake.com/, which describes itself as “The Epicenter Of Everything Quake.” That's no kidding; gamers could get lost for hours in the content on this graphic-heavy site.
The Goods: (What's in stores today)
