WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
THE BIG BANG THEORY (8PM CBS, CTV in Canada)
Wolowitz is a lean, mean love machine… if only in his own mind. But when Penny tries to burst his bubble, it’s gonna cause problems for everyone… including a slew of battle bots!

24 (8PM FOX, Global in Canada)
We get another two hours of Day 7, and things will begin to make a little more sense tonight. Actually, most of you probably figured out some of what will be revealed. Look for some familiar faces to return and a major development in the annoying-but-apparently-necessary-on-this-show secondary storyline involving the First Husband’s situation. Sorry, but I’m already bored with that plot. Sherry Palmer he ain’t!

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (8:30PM CBS, E! in Canada)
Remember the famous episode of SEINFELD where Jerry and Elaine thought they could be friends with benefits? Remember how badly that turned out? Well, tonight we’ll find out if that notion works any better for Robin and Ted. On the downside, Spencer & Heidi of THE HILLS, along with some of their equallyuntalented reality brethren, do cameos.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
DAMAGES (10PM FX)
Finally! The show we’ve been waiting for returns with William Hurt as Glenn Close’s latest client. We love this twisty thriller so much that we’ll even forgive them for having Regis & Kelly in a cameo.

NEW & NOTABLE:
SCRUBS (8PM ABC)
Poor PUSHING DAISIES. It gets bumped to make room for back-to-back SCRUBS reruns that ran yesterday! That just ain’t right.

GREAT PERFORMANCES (8PM PBS)
Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner (ALIAS) star in a production of Cyrano de Bergerac. Kline’s large-nosed alter ego may have a tough time winning his true love seeing as the other side of the famous triangle is being played by Daniel Sunjuta, who was named one of People magazine’s 50 sexiest people in 2003.

PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS (9PM CBS)
With nominees like 27 DRESSES for Favorite Movie Comedy, THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES for Favorite Family Drama and Britney Spears’ guest spot on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER for Favorite Scene Stealing Guest Star, we’d like to know which People exactly are taking this award show seriously.

Adds Couch Tater: My choice would be to give a lot of awards to BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, TRUE BLOOD, BIG LOVE and ONE TREE HILL, but I’m betting that’s not how things will go. Queen Latifah is, however, a great choice for host.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
90210 (9PM CW, 8PM GlobalTV in Canada)
Kelly shares a secret with Brenda. Trust me, that’s the only thing that will be interesting in this episode unless you care about all those too-thin, self-absorbed teens running around town. Wake me up when more original cast members come on board.

SCRUBS (9PM ABC)
Courtney Cox does a guest gig as Kelso’s replacement, and in a twist right out of GREY’S ANATOMMY, JD finds himself saddled with a group of wildly incompetent interns. Hey, now that the two medical shows are on the same network, maybe a crossover would bring a whole bunch of new eyes to Sacred Heart hospital!

SCRUBS (9:30PM ABC)
We spend so much of the year lamenting the lack of new episodes put out by the shows that we love that it seems somehow wrong to waste two in a single night! But hey, it’s SCRUBS, so we won’t be doing all that much complaining. In this one, Dr. Maddox (aka Courtney Cox) reveals her true nature. Wonder if she’s a neat freak?

PRIVILEGED (9PM CW, CityTV in Canada)
Megan finally confronts her mom about those abandonment issues. Seeing as her mom is played by Sharon Lawrence — whom we would watch in absolutely anything, let alone a show as entertaining as this one — we are so gonna be tuning in. Plus, Lily lands in jail, and we don’t much care for her!

NIP/TUCK (10PM FX)
Those wacky doctors are back as Sean deals with the aftermath of his having been attacked and Matt considers medical school. Those weird-ass promose FX has been airing have done nothing but freak me out, and I may never forget that whole Build-A-Bear storyline from last season, but I still wouldn’t miss this for the world.

NEW & NOTABLE:
NCIS (8PM CBS, Global TV in Canada)
As the team is investigating the murder of a guard in a women’s prison, a riot breaks out. But the bigger question is: How is this series constantly among the top-rated shows on television? Nothing against it, but do you know anybody who watches? Or has even seen it? I’m just sayin’.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
GOSSIP GIRL (8PM CW)
Blair attempts to join a prestigious ladies club, which you just know ain’t gonna go well. Meanwhile, Jenny returns to school and prepares to take on some of the snobbier girls. Let the games begin!

NEW & NOTABLE:
SUPERSTARS OF DANCE (8PM NBC)
On the off chance that DANCING WITH THE STARS, AMERICA’S BEST DANCE CREW and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE weren’t enough to quench your dance thirst.

THE BACHELOR (8PM ABC)
We’re completely and totally appalled by the way ABC is using Jason Mesnick’s kid as a “heartwarming” twist to this increasingly unromantic series. Here’s hoping Jason’s son isn’t dragged into this mess, because the only thing more disturbing than a man using this series to find “true love” is the notion of him using his son as a prop.

THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER (8PM ABC Family)
Divorce ain’t cheap, which explains why when Annie asks for one, George moves into the garage to save a little money. While out there, he might wanna look for crap to sell on eBay. Trust us, people will buy anything!

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
ELI STONE (10PM ABC)
In tonight’s brand new episode, Taylor and Matt learn unsettling news about her pregnancy. News, from an undoubtedly compassionate ABC executive that we can only imagine sounded a little something like this, “You’ve been cancelled and we’re moving up your delivery to next month!”

NEW & NOTABLE:
MAN OF HONOR (8PM FX)
The curse of Cuba Gooding Jr’s post Oscar career continues with this tedious and uninspired been-there-done-that tale chronicling the Navy’s first black diver. But on the plus side, there are no talking dogs.

THE GOLDEN COMPASS (8PM HBO)
Attention TWILIGHT fans. Witness director Chris Weitz’s disappointing adaptation of this best selling novel and be afraid, be very afraid.

FIFTEEN AND PREGNANT (8PM Lifetime)
Watch Kristen Dunst struggle with teenage pregnancy before Juno Macguff (JUNO) and Amy Juergens (THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER) made it cool.

FAMILY GUY (8:30PM TBS)
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Alum Alert! The always hilarious David Cross guests stars as a preacher hired to rap about abstinence.
