Glee (Fox) — The highly anticipated musical-comedy debuts in the slot after “American Idol” and won’t return again until fall.  And yes, I know it sounds crazy to look forward to a musical comedy, but this actually looks pretty good.  Read highfalutin reviews of it here and here.

American Idol (Fox) — Oh yeah, the last two guys are singing or whatever.  Sweet Jesus, does this mean the show’s finally not on next week?!?!?  Huzzah!

Dancing with the Stars (ABC) — Two-hour season finale features the final three “stars”: Shawn Johnson, Melissa Rycroft, and Gilles Marini.  To be fair, “Dancing with the Minor Celebrities” doesn’t have quite the same ring.

Deadliest Catch (Discovery) — “An upcoming drop in the price of king crab has the skippers rushing to finish their seasons before their prized catches lose their value, but a storm puts a kink in their plans.”  Wow!  A sale on king crab?  Sweet!

Reaper (CW) — Just for future reference, if there’s ever an actual news item about this show, I fully intend to use Photoshop to change the name of the show to “Raper.”

Carlito’s Way (AMC) — Ooooohhhh!!!  I hate that stupid Bennie Blanco so much!

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (NBC) — Guests: Matt Lauer, actress Mary McCormack, UFC president Dana White, and folk act Iron & Wine.  I only bring this up because I’ve caught snippets of the show recently, and Jimmy’s actually turning into a solid host.  At this rate, I’ll forgive him for Taxi by early 2011.
