'Craft Wars'

This is not your grandmother's world of crafting. In this new TLC series, "craft-virtuosos" compete in a "knockdown, drag-out fight for supremacy" and are judged by Stephen Brown, Erica Domesek and Jo Pearson for a cash prize. For the series premiere, the contestants must create a playhouse using school supplies. As host Tori Spelling says, "Fire up your glue guns." 10 p.m. Tuesday on TLC (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
