8:00p/7:00 Central
- The ALCS Game 4 gets under way on TBS with Tampa Bay now on a roll and in control, up two games to one. But if baseball’s not your thing, maybe you’d rather watch the contestants of NBC’s The Biggest Loser face the longest challenge in show history, from sunup to sundown. For other competition fare, ABC’s Opportunity Knocks visits “The Long Island Brady Bunch,” a brood with nine children.
- Scripted options include a new Lincoln Heights on ABC Family wherein the family reels after a shooting. You can follow that up with BBC America’s Gavin & Stacey at 8:40p/7:40 Central in which the couple returns from their honeymoon and Nessa’s secret is finally revealed. Yeah, I said this was on last week, but BBC America bumped the schedule a week so it’s on tonight instead.
- Gibbs learns more about his past on CBS’s NCIS as a murder case leads to the town he grew up in. Ralph Waite guests as his father. Meanwhile, over on FOX’s House, the titular doctor’s father dies and as he reluctantly goes to the funeral we learn how he and Wilson first met. Oh, and someone almost dies and is saved at the last second.
9:00p/8:00 Central
- Bravo continues exploring life with The Real Housewives of Atlanta while the Discovery Channel sends Mike Rowe off to learn how potato chips are made on a new Dirty Jobs.
- The kids of Sci Fi’s ECW perform a style of choreography all their own, while failing to do just that spells the doom for another couple on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars tonight. To make it go down easier, the show is fluffed up with performances by Ne-Yo, Spanish flamenco dancers and ballroom dancing kids. See, you feel better already!
- Pregnancy rumors abound on a new Greek over at ABC Family, while The Mentalist uses psychology to trick a bunch of dumb surfer girls into revealing the killer of one of their friends on CBS.
- Homing pigeons, electric powers and Olivia facing her past. Looks like FOX’s Fringe is keeping the weird alive on Tuesday nights. Or should I say, “Full Season Pick-Up” Fringe.
10:00p/9:00 Central
- You say goodbye, I say hello. Well, if you’re a fan of A&E’s The Cleaner that is, as it’s wrapping its first season tonight. Me, I’ll be tuning into ABC’s Eli Stone for its second season premiere. I like to think of it as the little show that could, as it really found a pleasant little voice for itself by the end of its freshman run. And critics say its better than ever this year.
- Also premiering tonight is The Discovery Channel’s six part exploration of the world’s most challenging 1,150 mile sled dog race: Toughest Race on Earth: Iditarod.
- One person who will never do that is everybody’s favorite airhead heiress, as she’s busy with MTV’s Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, which is like way more challenging and harderest anyway!
- Also closing out its seasonal run is Bravo’s The Rachel Zoe Project as the team cracks under Oscar pressure. Alternately, Janice just may learn a lesson about size during a Wizard of Oz photo shoot on a new The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency over at Oxygen.
- Somebodies explores the N-word and “slave mentality,” which sounds pretty serious for the BET comedy. Definitely serious are your procedural choices. CBS’s Without a Trace offers a vanished witness who disappeared on his way to testify while NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit throws Detective Stabler for a loop when the clues lead him to his daughter as a suspect in the latest case.
11:00p/10:00 Central
- Sure, you could get more of the Manswers to life’s questions on Spike TV, or even check in to General Hospital: Night Shift on SoapNET, but you know you’re intrigued by WE’s Sex Change Hospital more than a “General” one. In this series premiere, we visit a small town in Colorado, dubbed “The Sex Change Capital of the World,” where a sex-changed doctor helps usher in a manufactured “change of life” for a whole myriad of people.
