My Favorite Fright Gag

Here’s another one of my favorite things: It’s goofy, I know, but I laugh out loud every Halloween at Steve Hortsmeyer. The long-time Channel 12 meteorologist does “Good Morning Cincinnati” weather on Halloween in a skeleton suit, standing in front of the weather map. Thought you’d wanna start Monday with a laugh, so tune in 5-8 a.m. Monday on Channel 12.

Three Wishes
Katy Hines, the young Iraq war widow from Fairfield, is given a new start on life by NBC’s “Three Wishes” today (9 p.m., Ch 5). “Three Wishes” gives away three homes to Ohio veterans and their families.

Kiese-watching
Did you catch ABC’s “Primetime Live” last night? Kimberly Ray, who used to be half of MIX94.1's “Kimberly & Carson” morning team, was the centerpiece.

Sunday best
Michael J. Fox talks about his career and health on “Inside the Actors Studio” 8 p.m. Sunday on Bravo. Don’t worry about “The Simpsons,” because the annual “Treehouse of Horrors” episode won’t air until Nov. 6 (Fox was hoping for Game 7 of the World Series Sunday.) You should know by now: Halloween isn’t over until the Simpsons say it is.
