Tonight on the tube: Life finds a new timeslot, L&O returns

NBC

NBC

8:00p/7:00 Central

  • Election delayed, tonight you can finally see who got the boot on this week’s Dancing With the Stars on ABC. Lionel Richie stops by to perform an old classic and a new single from his forthcoming album.
  • On FOX, Brennan and Booth investigate the death of an artist on a new Bones. Murder comes much closer to home as a tech is killed inside Knight Industries on NBC’s Knight Rider.
  • The Discovery Channel’s Time Warp keeps bringing the slow motion look, this week spotlighting a samurai sword master and a free runner. On The CW’s America’s Next Top Model, the final five must deal with Tyra behind the camera.
  • CBS sticks with their new comedy hour of The New Adventures of Old Christine and Gary Unmarried, where Gary and Allison both face the dreaded “meeting of the friends” with their significant others.

9:00p/8:00 Central

  • The third season of Friday Night Lights, available exclusively on DirecTV, is up to its sixth installment already. MyNetwork TV is moving their The Tony Rock Project opposite it … you know, to try and bury it with their ratings power.
  • Sci Fi follows up on their Halloween live special with the Ghost Hunters “Live Show Results.” The Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters and the History Channel’s MonsterQuest keep looking to debunk … well, myths and monsters.
  • NBC makes a bold move, shifting Life to this timeslot where it can face off with CBS’s Criminal Minds. On Life, a lottery winner’s death leads to all kinds of revelations. On Minds, Dr. Reid starts to explore some of his buried memories of childhood in response to a Las Vegas abduction case.
  • The CW hopes that Top Model fans will stick around for Stylista, where Anne has the contestants throw her niece a party and then choose mother-daughter pairs from the gathering for their next spread.
  • If that’s the absolute last thing you want to watch, you may be a perfect fit for Showtime’s Inside the NFL. Or if you’re not a football fan, then maybe A&E’s Dog the Bounty Hunter at the half hour.
  • Over on ABC’s Private Practice, Addison puts the practice in peril while Violet struggles with whether or not to break the law to help a friend.

10:00p/9:00 Central

  • Back early, and still fighting to become the longest running scripted drama on television, NBC launches the nineteenth season of the parent Law & Order. The death of a wallstreet broker opens into the world of organized street fighting and personal vengeance.
  • It faces off against CBS’s CSI: NY, in which Mac must make good on a promise he made to a witness when three defendants in the trial are gunned down the night before it was set to begin.
  • Reality continues strong with A&E’s Parking Wars, TruTV’s Ski Patrol, Discovery’s Prototype This, History’s UFO Hunters and Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter. I wonder what percentage of all new shows are reality these days? Especially off the major networks.
  • MTV, who had a hand in creating the enormity of the reality trend, offers up a reunion special on their latest The Real World/Road Rules Challenge run. Bravo’s Top Design wraps up its second season with “Part 2″ of its finale. Meanwhile, TV Land’s Myths & Legends explores “Rock Gods & Superstars.”
  • TLC continues following the traveling family of their Six for the Road in two new installments. While it’s a whole different kind of road on FX’s Sons of Anarchy.
  • On Comedy Central, it’s a one-two comedy punch with South Park responding to last night’s election results, while you know David Alan Grier’s Chocolate News is going to have something to say about it, too.
  • The trial of Letitia Darling takes center stage again on ABC’s Dirty Sexy Money, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of other Darling dramatics going on, with Karen agreeing to marry Simon Elder and Patrick’s election to Senate.
