Last season's CSI had a funny show, rare for them, written by the writers of Two and Half Men about a vain TV star who is murdered. In one of the final scenes where Grissom and Brass confront the murderer (who gets away with it) on a TV soundstage, you can briefly see a giant Tiki head lurking behind them.

For those of you with cable, several networks are running reruns of Malcolm in the Middle. In one of them, Malcolm's mother and father make the kids turn their garage into a Tiki Lounge -- and they do a damn fine job of it, too. Every day the parents retreat there to relax, drink out of Tiki mugs and get away from the world, until of course something ensues to destroy their paradise. If you can, also catch the Burning Man episode -- no Tikis in this one and no, in spite of what you see on screen, there are no cacti in the Black Rock Desert -- but the show is hilarious. My wife and I attended Burning Man so we have both episodes stored permanently on our DVR.
