‘Look Good Naked’ starts new season

More about attitude adjustment than weight loss or radical exercise plans, the series “How to Look Good Naked” (9 p.m., Lifetime) enters its second season.

Once known as the quickest and, at times, meanest wit of the “Fab Five,” Carson Kressley takes on a generous and supportive role here. He’s actually quite nice, helping insecure participants to abandon self-doubts about their size and shape and see themselves as others do.

¢ The problem of global warming receives a lot of attention. On tonight’s “Wide Angle” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presentation of “Burning Season,” one man thinks he has a solution.

“Burning” focuses on Indonesia, where areas of rain forest as large as 300 soccer fields vanish every hour – burned down to raise cash crops like palm oil. Australian entrepreneur Dorjee Sun believes he can stop this if he can convince enough financiers of his scheme for selling something called carbon credits.

“Burning” follows Sun from one corporate boardroom to another and also documents his dealings with local politicians in the Indonesian jungle, where the pressure to make a quick buck often trumps environmental concerns.

¢ “Explorer: Finding Anastasia” (9 p.m., National Geographic) employs “CSI”-type technology to solve one of the great mysteries of the 20th century. Ninety summers ago, on July 17, 1918, Bolshevik revolutionaries executed the Russian czar and his family. But in the years that followed, rumors spread that some of his children, particularly his daughter Anastasia, may have escaped.

Ingrid Bergman won a 1956 Oscar for her role in the speculative drama “Anastasia.” Meg Ryan provided the voice in the musical cartoon version of “Anastasia” in 1997.

Now, an investigator and a DNA expert hope to examine forensic evidence and put the rumor of surviving Romanovs to rest.

¢ Five competing pairs embark on an “amazing race” over a thousand miles of obstacles, surprises, feats of strength as well as fairway skills in the 10-part golf adventure series “Highway 18” (9 p.m., Golf Channel).
