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.
Tonight's program descript says the police are searching for Auggie. If you believe the news reports, they're likely to find him with Ashlee Simpson in the unemployment line.
CW, 9 p.m.
7. The Jay Leno Show (new)
Tonight's guests include
NBC game show host Howie Mandel. Yup, that will get the ratings up.
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's program descript says "While representing the daughter of one of the firm's partners, Alicia (Margulies) becomes attracted to her co-counsel and his unorthodox approach to defending their client." Yeah, no conflict of interest there...
CBS, 10 p.m.
9. The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien
Tonight's guests include Jessica Biel who will wander by to hawk her upcoming film, Valentine's Day, or maybe just to flash a little leg for Mr. O'Brien.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Jessica Biel.
NBC, 11:35 p.m.
10. Late Night With David Letterman
Tonight's guests include animal handler Jack Hanna. Yeah, but can he handle Dave?; the female staffers there say he can be an animal, too. (Shakira will come by to shake her hips and warble a tune; Dave will like that.)
CBS, 11:35 p.m.
