6. Melrose Place
The network for the saucy set brings back another primetime soap from the 1990s. The basic ingredients here are the same -- lots of bitchy dialogue and bed hopping -- but the new hottie cast includes Katie Cassidy, Jessica Lucas, Stephanie Jacobsen and Ashlee Simpson. We thought Heather Locklear had moved out of the Melrose Place condo complex, but she's targeted for a November return. Laura Leighton is back as the landlord. She'll have her hands full; maybe literally in some episodes.
In tonight's episode, Lauren (Jacobsen) goes on another date in exchange for money. Well, at least everyone knows where they stand in that relationship.
CW, 9 p.m.
7. The Jay Leno Show (new)
Tonight's guests include Ewan McGregor who will wander by to hawk his new film, Amelia, and the great Tina Fey, who will hawk (and beg) for people to watch 30 Rock.
NBC, 10 p.m.
8. The Good Wife
Julianna Margulies stars as the wife of a scandal-plagued politician who must restart her career as a defense attorney after the hubbie is disgraced once again. Well, if she's looking to associate herself with a better class of people, it won't be in the courtroom, let me tell ya. Exhibit A: Tonight, the program descript says "Alicia represents a stripper who says she was raped by a rich, prominent businessman." Uh-oh, stripper raped by a rich guy? It's time for a...Conservative media watch dog alert!
CBS, 10 p.m.
9. The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien
Tonight's guests include Garry Shandling who will wander by to hawk his new DVD of It's Garry Shandling's Show.
NBC, 11:35 p.m.

CBS, 11:35 p.m.
