TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Christmas in Rockefeller Center," 7 p.m., NBC; then "Grammy Nominations Concert," 8 p.m., CBS. We'll settle for any reason to have lots of live music. NBC's show ranges from kids (Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers) to Tony Bennett, with Beyoncé, her sister Solange Knowles and "American Idol" champ David Cook. CBS has Taylor Swift co-hosting (with LL Cool J) and singing. It has Mariah Carey, John Mayer, Celine Dion, B.B. King and the Foo Fighters.

OF NOTE

"Pushing Daisies," 7 p.m., ABC. Ned and Olive are in a coo-off when a body is found in the fryer.

"Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," 7 p.m., CBS. This animated special is back for the 44th year.

"Secret Millionaire," 7 p.m., Fox. A wealthy father and son with Lahaina ties take part in the feel-good reality show, living in a low-income area, then donating money to a person or project.

"Private Practice," 8 p.m., ABC. Addison tries to save a comatose woman and her unborn baby.

"Spectacle: Elvis Costello With ...," 9 p.m., Sundance (Oceanic Digital Channel 646). Elton John is the season's first guest. He's a smooth talker, but no good at lyrics. His favorite memories involve co-writing in his parents' apartment; Bernie Taupin would race in with the words, which John would convert quickly to a song.

"Law & Order," 9 p.m., NBC. When a case takes the detectives outside New York City, they collide with a sheriff known for his drug busts.

"Victoria's Secret Fashion Show," 9 p.m., CBS. Slender women keep us updated on the fashion trends for lingerie. Also, Usher performs.
